Five Star Gift Ideas

Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas for your friend who loves both doctors and food.

1. Cookbooks Written by Doctors: You could find a cookbook written by a doctor that combines delicious food with healthy guidelines. This would be the perfect mix of her two passions! For example, "The Doctor's Kitchen" by Dr. Rupy Aujla, "The Happy Kitchen" by Dr. Priya Chaudhary or "Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself" by Dr. William Li.

2. Personalized Doctor Cutting Board: You can customize a cutting board with your friend’s name and a doctor’s symbol. They can use it in their kitchen and be reminded of their love of medicine at the same time.

3. Doctor Themed Apron: Another great idea is a doctor-themed kitchen apron. This is a fun and functional gift that can be used when cooking, baking or hosting a dinner party.

4. Medical-Themed Cookware: Gift her something like “The Prescription Cocktail Glasses Set” which comes with a prescription pad on which your friend can write their favorite cocktail recipe as well as the dosages and ingredients, OR you could give him/her a Potluck Casserole Tote which looks like a medical bag.

5. Cooking Class Gift Certificate: You could buy your friend a cooking class experience from a local culinary school. She/he will get to learn and experiment with new flavors and techniques. Some culinary schools even offer classes that focus on healthy cooking so you can find the perfect class that will combine her/his love for food and health.

6. Coffee Table Books on Gastronomy: You could buy her/him some coffee table books on the history of food or the science of cooking, such as “The History of Food in 100 Recipes” by William Sitwell or “The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science” by J. Kenji López-Alt.

7. Doctor-Themed Wine Bottle Stopper: If your friend likes to enjoy a glass of wine with her/his meals, you could buy her/him a doctor-themed wine bottle stopper. This will add a fun and unique touch to her/his dinner table and keep your friend’s wine fresh.

Finally, you can always head to Pinterest and find some DIY gift ideas or recipes for homemade gifts inspired by a love for doctors and food.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
