Gifts for Nurses and Hospital Workers

If you are looking for a way to say thank you to your hospital and medical team, there are some great and practical gifts for nurses. Over-worked and tired, in particular during the busy times of COVID-19 can leave them feeling exhausted.

Some great promotional gifts to perk their spirits can be just the thing they need. Items that are fun, funny, novelty gifts and also gifts that are very useful are always welcome.

Gifts for Nurses Week

Even the smallest gesture can mean a lot when you want to extend an extra thank you to your nurses. When having logos or graphics printed on items, you can have them represent the entire hospital or get them more localized, by area the people work. It can make it more personal that way.

Economy Stainless Steel Mug

Everyone loves to have their own mug. These mugs are ideal for home, work, and traveling back and forth. This mug is great for hot or cold drinks thanks to the double lining.

Get them made for nurse appreciation week and they will appreciate you. They are available in stainless steel or blue. Get some of each so people can pick the one they like best.

Custom Lunch Bags and Coolers

Taking your own lunch to work is just smart. Nursed work shift work and long hours, so they don’t always have the luxury of going out for lunch. This wide variety of lunch bags and coolers are a very nice gift for anyone.

Perfect for those nursed who have to work a double shift, the larger insulated bags are ideal for holding more than one meal. They keep food fresh and safe. Smaller containers are perfect for precooked meals to put inside the lunch bag.

These bags are also very useful outside of work. They can be used for a picnic in the park or transporting prepared food to a new location on holidays. They are even useful for carrying home either hot or cold items from the grocery store.

Personalized Pedometers

“Getting your steps in” has never been a problem for our hardworking nurses. It can be fun to keep track of how much they move every day. These pedometers are available in many different types, colors, sizes and styles.

Perhaps your nurses like to keep track of how far they travel without leaving the ward. You could also encourage them with other incentives for reaching a certain number each day.

They can also be used as gifts for patients who need to reach a certain fitness level and be more aware of how much they are moving, or not moving. Perfect for those on the cardiac ward, those embarking on a weight loss journey or anyone recovering from surgery.

Power Banks

Very few people are on the go more than our nurses. These power banks are  available in many different styles, sizes and abilities. Blue tooth, speakers, indicator lights and so much more, these are a great compact gift that will be greatly appreciated.

They are a good item to have around a hospital for patients, as well, plus those loved ones who are waiting around and need to charge their phone or music player. Great for nurse week or any week.

Heart-Shaped Badge Holders

Identity badges are often worn near or over the heart. What better way to say we love you than a heart-shaped badge holder. It’s a great idea and a very practical gift.

Have them customized for the nurses in each department. There is a swivel bulldog clip and an easy pull cord to extend the badge or whatever is on it, like access card or bank card, to use without removing it.

Heart-Shaped Mouse Pad

Get all your stations on board with this fun mouse pad. It’s fun and works well with either rollerball or optical mouse. You can have them made up for each unit to make them more personalized and extend that thank you just a little farther.

Mouse pads are always needed so why not make them fun with this heart-shaped pad. Non-slip rubber backing with a durable textured top, these will be a sure hit.

They also can be handed out to patients as gifts as mementos of their successful stay at your hospital. They are something that everyone uses and yet seldom buys.

Practical Gifts for Nurses

Some items make great gifts for other people who visit the hospital, like drug representatives, food suppliers and other workers. Nurses deserve some extra recognition so why not order a few promotional gifts for them to say that extra thank you.
