A little humor for the people who take care of everyone else.

This minimalist design features a cozy bee tucked into bed with a thermometer in its mouth — a playful take on “be patient.” Whether it’s a reminder to slow down or a literal nod to being a patient, it lands somewhere between thoughtful and quietly funny.

It’s especially perfect for nurses, healthcare workers, and anyone who spends their days caring for others — or for those moments when you’re the one who needs to rest and recover.

Designed by Portland artist Matt Wayne (me), this piece blends simple line work with subtle wordplay — light, wearable, and just a little bit strange in the best way.

Why people love this one:

Clever healthcare-related pun (patient vs. patience)
Great gift for nurses, doctors, and caregivers
Soft, comforting humor for recovery or burnout days
Minimalist design that works anywhere
