8 Gifts Nurses Want for Valentine’s Day

Yes, nurses like coffee, chocolate, and flowers for Valentine’s Day. But what about a gift that lasts for more than a few days? After all, a $20 gift card to Dunkin’ Donuts only lasts so long. (I am totally guilty going with the intention of getting a small coffee and walking out with a large Jamocha Almond Fudge iced coffee… and munchkins.) Here are a few gifts any nurse would love to have for Valentine’s Day.

  1. White Coat Clipboard
    This clipboard is perfect for keeping your report sheets and list of extensions safe! It folds in half to fit in your scrub pocket or white coat, keeping patient information safe and secure. It also has normal lab values, conversions, ABG interpretations, and EKG tips on the clipboard for easy access to important facts. There are multiple versions of this clipboard, including the Pediatric, Respiratory, Pharmacy, and Nursing editions; and comes in different colors.
  2. Monogrammed Utility Tote
    These totes were crazy among the Med-Surg staff nurses I used to work with. The outer pockets are perfect to store cash for coffee, pens, and extra tape! These totes come in over 20 colors and patterns to choose from.
  3. Custom Wine Glass
    There’s nothing like chilling out after a long nursing shift with a glass of wine. So, drink in style and take the doctor’s orders!
  4. Monogrammed Fleece Jacket
    It’s always cold in hospital settings and doctor’s offices, so why not bundle up in a fashionable fleece jacket? These are much warmer than scrub jackets, come in multiple colors, and even have embroidery to show off your nursing specialty!
  5. Lego Cufflinks
    These cufflinks are perfect for the male nurses out there who want to endorse their inner geekiness.  GeekyWears also sells Lego cufflinks in surgical scrub gear.
  6. Custom Car Decal
    Drive around proud knowing you have one of the most rewarding jobs in the world! These stethoscope decals come in hundreds of combination colors and fonts. Personalized gifts are always thoughtful, along with some added southern charm!
  7. Giraffe Reflex Hammer
    Absolutely adorable! This is perfect for nurses working in Pediatrics, or just to celebrate the inner child within ourselves!
  8. Giant Microbes
    These are critters are a great display for those employed in hospitals or specializing in Infectious Disease and are a great training tool for disease prevention. They also sell holiday microbe boxes, neck ties, and coffee mugs. They make even C.Diff look cute!
