Those working an essential job amid the coronavirus pandemic deserve all the days off, all the raises and all the praise for their efforts this year.

Clove Sneakers

After spending countless shifts on their feet, healthcare workers can use an extra boost, and these social media-loved Clove sneakers are on everyone's list this season. They're made specially for medical professionals, are compliant with most uniform requirements and give a stylish revamp to a comfortable work shoe.

"After wearing a ton of different nursing shoes throughout the years, these provide so much comfort. They're lightweight and didn't give me one blister. Plus, they're much more stylish than my other pairs," says Mary Kratofil, Labor and Delivery nurse from Youngstown, Ohio. "Now all my coworkers are jealous of my new shoes — they all want a pair."

A gift that's trendy, comfortable and practical is always the best gift of all.

For the CBD-lover on your list, this vegan oil helps one relax and unwind without feeling the "high" (it only contains enough THC to unlock the full benefits of the other phyto-cannabinoids). It also has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits and helps boost ones energy, metabolism and immune system.
