It's not too early to do some Christmas shopping for unique gifts for those unique people on your shopping list.  Sure, anyone can buy a scarf or a toaster as a Christmas gift at just about any department store, but can they get a gold-plated stethoscope, an Infrared sauna, or a hyperbaric chamber at the local store?  Nope, I don't think so, but they can at Rehabmart.com where there are many other unique and health giving gifts that are sure to create gasps of wonderment and joy on Christmas morning. 

The following are just a few of some great medical supply Christmas gifts that are offered by Rehabmart.

 
Animal Stethoscope Cover.  I mean, really, what pediatric doctor wouldn't want a Lion wrapped around his or her neck?  Or Dalmation, Tiger or Dinosaur?  These stethoscope covers will bring a little joy in an otherwise fearful place to both children and adults alike.  These animals are even recommended by the top Stethoscope manufacturers!  Remove the scare and restore the roar with these fun animal stethoscope covers that protect the stethoscope tubing from harmful skin oil and once they do get dirty, are easy to remove for washing.  The riveted eyes and nose of the covers exceeds child safety standards and they even come with a bone-shaped ID tag.

   

The Original Konfidence Jacket.  A gift of learning how to swim would be a wonderful idea for those children who are a little fearful of the water.  Kids can learn how to swim while they are also looking more cool and hip with the Konfidence Jacket then when trying to learn while wearing water wings or thrashing around with an inner tube.  This jacket will instill confidence with its eight removable floats that will allow for flexible buoyance during the different stages of swimming lessons.  The Konfidence Jacket is made with wetsuit grade neoprene for both its durability and comfort.  Although this jacket will help people to learn how to swim, it is not a life jacket and should not be used as one.

 
Sonic Alert Sonic Boom Skull Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker.  What else can be said?  What teenager wouldn't want "The Skull" to wake them up in the morning?  With its extra loud 113 decibel alarm, it can pierce through the loudest music to get Junior's attention or to wake him up from the deepest sleep known to teenage-kind.  This clock will also show flashing red eye sockets and flashing orange alert lights to get the Guitar Hero paying teenager attention.  And if your child can sleep through any noise, not to worry, the powerful Bone Crusher 12 volt bed shaker will awaken  just about anybody.  And if it's a non-school day and they don't have to get up on the first alarm, no problem, all the sleepers have to do is smack the skull snooze button...if they dare.  The Skull also features an input for a MP3 player too.

  
Track and Target Digital Floor Scale.  This is a great gift idea for those brave souls who are determined to lose weight after the holiday season.  This scale (see video below) allows you to happily track your weight loss progress as you continue on your goal to lose the weight which was collected along the highways and byways of life.  Or the scale is there to guilt you into your weight loss, whatever way works best for you.  It's simple, just enter your desired weight and the Track and Target Floor Scale will record your daily results.  Instead of "forgetting" to keep track of your weight loss, this scale will show you what you have done with your weight program every single day.  Four different people can keep track at once so this upcoming New Year's resolution can be a family affair and group project. 

  
Handybar Car Helper.  Although it sounds like a candy bar to help a driver keep their strength up while driving, this is actually a great device for people who have difficulty getting in and out of cars.  It seems that cars are getting ever lower and closer to the ground and for many people, the twisting and turning of their body to get in and out of a car while pushing up or lowering into a low sitting position is difficult.  With this clever leverage device, doing the "car dance" just became easier.  Once inserted into the U-shaped striker plate on your car door frame, the Handybar Car Helper will support a person's weight as they use it as a sturdy foundation, sort of like a helping hand out or into the car.  Also, as a bonus, it has a built-in seat belt cutter and/or can be used to break a car window allowing a person to escape the car in the event of an emergency.

  

The Somatron Neurotron.  After the holidays is a time for relaxation and one of the best ways to relax is to lay back, listen to some calming music while stimulating your head, neck, and shoulders into a noodle-like consistency.  The Somatron Neurotron is a vibroacoustic therapy product which can reduce stress, muscular tension, help with pain management, and help formulate a better mind-body connection all the while comfortably aligning the head and neck.  This device is good at assisting in reducing torticollis by overriding cervical accessory nerve spasms.  This is a perfect way to lay back and relax after a hectic holiday.

  
Flamingo Step-In Bathtub .  Talk about relaxing...there are no better ways to relax than a nice, warm bath.  Not only that, but a bathtub that most anyone can use by just opening the inward-swinging, water-tight door and sitting down to six directional water jets and sixteen warm air bubble massage jets to soothe away the stress and worry of the day.  This walk-in bathtub with a slip-resistant floor is safe to use for people who have trouble stepping over the edge of bathtubs and keeping their balance.  This bathtub can make a bathroom into the secret garden of rest and relaxation.

Rehabmart might not carry the latest Barbie® doll or the newest video game but it does offer the most unique and coolest items not found in most stores.  Impress that special someone with a special gift or find that something that someone who has everything doesn't have.  I'll bet even Santa hasn't thought of some of the Christmas gifts that Rehabmart has to offer!
