Gifts under $20 for Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapy Assistants

Being an occupational therapy practitioner is a hard but rewarding job. These gifts are a fun way to show off some occupational therapy pride on a budget!

OT Amplifier Stickers

Designed for passionate practitioners and aspiring students, these products feature a striking image of an OT practitioner boldly holding a megaphone and exclaiming the value of OT! The Diverse OT Amplifier Series was designed to represent the diverse group of occupational therapy practitioners that comprise our profession. The perfect gift for a water bottle or notebook!

OT Amplifier Notebooks

Another product from the OT Amplifier series is a super-cute dot-grid notebook featuring OT billing resources after the notebook pages. Find the Amplifier who best represents your favorite OT Practitioner or student! The perfect gift for the OTP who take notes on the go. 

Wine Glass

What better way to show your occupational therapy buddy you care about their mental health than this cute wine glass? A great gift for the stressed OTP to “wine” down at the end of a long day.

May include: A clear glass wine glass with the text 'This is my Occupational Balance' printed in black on the side.

Custom OT Tumblers

Long days require cups that can keep your drink hot or cold for hours at a time! I love a custom tumbler for new grads. It’s incredibly rewarding to see your name listed alongside your new credentials! These are some of my favorites on Amazon. Etsy also has a lot of great options!

Tote bag

Occupational therapy practitioners have to run all over their hospital or even drive to and from clients houses in home health. This adorable and practical tote bag is a great gift to help your OTP stay organized and carry the necessary supplies between clients!

Coloring Book

This OT adult coloring book was created because its creators believe that Occupational Therapists do not receive enough appreciation and support for their work. Inside, they have put together tons of snarky, hilarious, and relatable OT puns, references, etc. It makes for a great gift for the OTP in your life to have some mindful de-stress time!.

Gifts for Occupational Therapy Students

Occupational therapy school can be overwhelming! Here are some practical gifts to help occupational therapy students thrive and feel the love.

Level II OT and OTA Fieldwork Planner
