If you know a nurse or health care professional who deserves a thank you, getting them a gift is a great idea.
To find meaningful presents for the health care workers in your life, we went straight to the source for thoughtful and practical ideas: We talked to nurses across the country about everything on their wish lists—and then we asked their family and friends about all the things they plan on gifting them just because. The end result? A list that runs the gamut from hand creams to washable backpacks to meal-kit services that can help bring a (much-needed) sense of calm into their lives.
If there’s a nurse, doctor, or health care professional in your life, you know they could use more love, appreciation, and R&R than ever. Ahead, 61 gifts for nurses to show that you care.
Nurse’s do so much good in the world - maybe it’s time to give a little bit of it back? Our Goodness Gift Hampers make a great gift for nurses and health care professionals. They come packed with healthy goodies like Sticky Chicky chai tea, a healing medicinal mushroom and adaptogen tonic, banana date & walnut chunks, Tea Tribe Immunity tea, Lola Instant Coffee, Chilla Brew, hot drinking chocolate, Daily Bar Super Bites and Activated Maple Munchies - everything a nurse needs to keep them going through a long shift!
Nursing is hard work, both physically and mentally, so nurses often appreciate gifts that are designed to help them feel pampered, and our Pamper Hamper has everything they need to enjoy a little bit of R&R!
From magnesium bath soaks and Ocean Blend exfoliants to body creme, eye gel, hand & nail repair, this gorgeous hamper will leave them feeling refreshed and renewed. The hamper also contains ‘Magic Beans’ inscribed with the words ‘Luck, Strength, Growth, Innovation, Success, Creativity.’ The beans can be planted in the tin they come in and eventually planted in the garden - ideal for creating a zen space!
Give a nurse you know a break from the hospital canteen! Gourmet snacks are always appreciated, especially by busy nurses who often rarely have the time to treat themselves. Our Gourmet Bites Gift Hamper has loads of yummy treats inside including Brookfarm nuts, Luken & May Butterbursts, handcrafted chocolates, cacao activated almonds, Falwasser crispbreads and chutney - plenty to share around!
An energising cup of tea or coffee can be a lifesaver, literally! During a long shift, a caffeine injection or a calming cuppa can help to keep a nurse going, so our Tea & Coffee Gift Basket makes a thoughtful gift. This lovely hamper includes immunity blend tea, Mayde tea, chai tea, a tea stranger, organic plunger coffee, crispbreads, chutney, macadamia nuts and cookies. It’s both practical and a sweet way to say thank you - every time they make a cuppa they’re sure to think of you!
Pocket watches make an excellent gift for nurses - they’re practical and easy to personalise to their preferences or style, so they can also be very sentimental! If you’ve spent a lot of time with a nurse and gotten to know them while you were their patient, consider getting them something like this cute stainless steel pocket watch. It will help them keep track of time and doesn’t need to be worn on their wrist (which can be important for nurses in some settings).
