Our list of 30 must buy gifts for dental hygienists already has the perfect items.

Whether it’s for an event, or simply because they deserve it, our list has the ideal gifts for you, your friends, and your family

firebowl fire pit

For outdoor nights: Outland Firebowl Fire Pit

A fire pit is the perfect choice for every household.

It acts as a literal campfire, letting you smoke meats, cook marshmallows and more. But unlike normal campfires, a standing fire pit like this evades almost all campfire bans. (Make sure you still check!)

It comes almost fully assembled, meaning you can have this up and running in literal minutes.

Take it out of the box, plug in the 10ft hose and link it up to a standard propane tank, and get started.
UV and weather resistant, it can safely be left outside as long as it’s covered, and will last for literal years.
