52 Great Gifts for Nurses, According to RNs & Health Professionals
You don’t need Christmas, a birthday, or International Nurses Day to give thanks to the hardworking health care professionals in your life. Gifts for nurses can be particularly meaningful gestures at any time of year, especially considering the intense nature of their job (long hours, tons of movement, emotional stress). If there’s a nurse, doctor, nursing student, or medical professional in your life, they could probably use more love, care, and R&R no matter the holiday.
Our top nurse gifts, at a glance

To find thoughtful gifts 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 (or have already). Their answers? They run the gamut from shoes for nurses to meal delivery services that can help bring a (much-needed) sense of calm into a nurse’s life. These are the best robes, compression socks, stylish scrubs, coffee makers, and self-care tools for every type of nurse. (And yes, plenty of these ideas also make incredible gifts for women and gifts for men—and mothers and fathers!—who just happen to be overworked.)

Swig Life Insulated Travel Mug
“One of my favorite gifts I’ve received has been a Swig insulated coffee mug,” says Jaryn Iwamoto, RN, BSN, CWOCN. On top of keeping drinks hot, this portable coffee mug also has a nonslip base to prevent spills. “A plus about this mug is that it fits into my car cup holder—no spillage of hot tea.”

O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream (2-Pack)
“Nurses have dry and cracked hands from constant washing and using alcohol-based sanitizers throughout their shift,” says Kristabelle Tamula, RN. How can they fight back? “This cream is a great gift,” she says. Sure, there may be cuter hand lotions (like this gift set) to throw in a stocking or gift basket—but few are as effective as this.

Baleaf Fleece-Lined Leggings

Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Tote/Backpack
Glamour contributor Mattie Kahn has a lifelong nurse friend who worked in New York City during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I wish I could’ve gifted her a 10-course dinner, a personal massage therapist, and 100,000 ventilators, but because I couldn’t, I fulfilled her one request—finding her a washable backpack that she can thoroughly clean when she leaves the hospital each night,” Kahn says. Better yet, it can be worn as a backpack or a tote bag.

“Being pregnant and working 12-hour shifts is rough on your body, especially your feet and legs,” says Blake. “Compression socks have become my best friend.

Miko Foot Massager
A splurge gift that’ll last longer than a pedicure or a single foot rub (not that we’re knocking either of those gift ideas) is this best-selling foot massager. It heats and deeply kneads their tired soles with a push of a button. Ahhh.

Starbucks Gift Card
“We all have to get coffee halfway through the shift, so a gift card to a local coffee shop is definitely a must,” says Mangieri. If you don’t know your nurse’s favorite spot, Starbucks is a great backup to supply a well-deserved cup of coffee (and is easy to send as a last-minute gift via email).

Shifts: The Journal for Nurses by Nurses

Hydro Flask Paracord Water-Bottle Handle
Wide-mouth water bottles “remind us to finish a few bottles throughout the shift to make sure we’re staying well hydrated, and adding a paracord handle makes all the difference,” says Tamula. “You get a bigger grip to help avoid dropping the bottle and denting it up. Oh, and there’s even a carabiner, which is useful for attaching keys.” This handle was designed for the wide-mouth Hydro Flask water bottles, but it will work on several other brands as well.

Tiger Balm Extra Strength Ointment
“This stuff is a lifesaver after pushing, pulling, and turning patients all day,” says Jordan Humphries, RN, BSN. “I've had back problems since nursing school, and this stuff has to be one of my favorites for quick pain relief. A little bit goes a long way, and for $6 it is so worth it. Just a thin layer of this on those aching parts of my back gives me a warming and relaxed sensation within minutes! Plus, it is a pretty small jar, so it can even travel in one of those many cargo pockets on scrub pants if you are really needing it!” Pro tip: Add it to a gift box or gift basket.

Medical and Nursing Felt Badge Clip
“My sister tells me she loses her ID badge a little too often, so I’ve been down a rabbit hole of badge clips that are simply too cute for words,” says Glamour’s Shipin. “I figure if I get her something ridiculously adorable, she’ll try extra hard not to lose her badge for fear of losing these sweet felt characters.” Badge reels don’t get much cuter.

Leatherman Raptor Rescue Trauma Shears
A medical professional we spoke to said these trauma shears are a super-helpful tool for emergency department (ED) and ER nurses, but one that they might never spend money on themselves. Specially designed for first responders and law enforcement, the multitool acts as a carbide glass breaker, a strap and ring cutter, an oxygen tank wrench, and more. It also locks when holstered, so it’s easy to attach to a belt.

Custom Paravel Bag
“Nurse bags often sacrifice form for function, but this one’s gorgeous,” Maravilla says. “A zip-up bag that lets you store dirtied scrubs would be so helpful—plus since it’s silicone-coated canvas, you can wash it off and use it as a weekender once things get back to normal.” Better yet, you can add a monogram that’s hand-painted or embroidered.
