Per Your Request, Gift Ideas for Nurses

Friends, clients and cancer care givers often ask me what kind of gift(s) they should get for their nurse(s). And while I can’t speak for the entire profession, I can tell you that I personally don’t need another water bottle. So, without further a due, here are some gift ideas for nurses….and you may notice a pattern 😉

  • Really good, quality hand lotion that doesn’t leave hands feeling greasy…we wash our hands A LOT!
  • A hand-written note or card of appreciation…words of encouragement go a long way and help sustain us during those shifts that seem endless and/or daunting.
  • Lip Balm, especially the kind with Vitamin E and SPF.
  • A hand-written note or card of appreciation…written words of appreciation go a loooong way in lifting our spirits.
  • Fun socks! It really depends on how well you know your nurse…sometimes, the zanier, and sillier, the better…maybe they love animals…. maybe they are a bit snarky and have a dark sense of humor…just have fun with it!
  • A hand-written note or card of appreciation… kind words are always welcome.
  • Coffee shop gifts cards, yummy, flavored creamers for the break room or a delicious ground coffee.
  • A hand-written note or card of appreciation… notes of gratitude from patients and families encourage us when work gets heavy and difficult.
  • Chocolate… no explanation needed. lol
  • A hand-written note or card of appreciation… because most nurses love what they do and want what’s best for their patients, despite working in a field that is overworked, understaffed, underappreciated and underpaid.
