Being a nurse is tough. Nursing is an occupation that calls for vast education, long hours, the ability to deal with emergencies coolly and calmly, and so much more. And, in response to the global pandemic, nurses have been working harder than ever to keep their community safe these past few years.
While valiant, this hard work can lead to nurses feeling burnt out. And burnout is never a fun thing to go through. If you have a nurse in your life who you want to thank or show support for during a rough patch, why not give them a gift to show you care? Here are five thoughtful gifts for the nurse in your life that will put a smile on the giftee’s face.
Custom Scrubs
Scrubs are a must for every nurse. But most of the scrubs you find at local retailers are plain, generic, and uncomfortable. Why not get the nurse in your life a custom pair of scrubs that fits flawlessly and comes in a color or pattern they love?
A Gift Card
This is an ever-practical option. Gift cards are great because they put the power in the hands of the recipient. Your favorite nurse can use them to get a meal at a trendy new restaurant, new clothes, something related to their hobby, or whatever else they want!
A Blanket & Hot Drink
After a long shift, most nurses just want to come home and unwind. And what better way to unwind than bundled up in a blanket and with a warm, delicious drink in hand? A cozy blanket and a tea or coffee kit are just what the nurse in your life needs to kick back and chill. You can even throw in a movie or a book for them to indulge in as an extra treat.
Self-Care Items
Nurses spend a lot of time caring for others. It's about time they put some of that boundless energy into caring for themselves! Hook up your favorite nurse with the items they need for a luxuriant spa day: bath bombs, face masks, lotions, candles, you name it. You'd be surprised by how quickly a bubble bath and a face mask can turn around someone's day.
A Gift Basket
If you can't decide on one gift, why not get a bunch of gifts arranged neatly and beautifully in a basket? Gift baskets are one of the most thoughtful gifts for the nurse in your life because they contain an assortment of useful items that are fun to unpack and even more fun to use!
