10 Unique Gift Ideas for the Aesthetic Nurse
You see it everywhere, nurses getting ready for their work day and walking into work: super cute, aesthetic accessories, the fancy shoes, YOU NAME IT. And you know what? I SUPPORT IT. Because behind that HIPAA-protected wall, life is GROSS. It is sticky, it is smelly, our feet hurt—it can be absolutely wild. So you know what? I support the nurse who strives to feel an ounce of put-together in an otherwise NOT so cute 12-13 hour shift! I like to have little things that make me feel a little bit better at work too.
Enjoy these cute AND affordable Amazon gift ideas for the ✨aesthetic✨ nurse!
The Handy Supply Bag
Okay yes, this is listed as a makeup bag online but hear me out!
We’ve got great quality (soft waterproof PVC leather!), a ton of pockets, a functional handle, and TWO separate zipper compartments to keep your favorite pens handy without them falling to the bottom of the bag!
Just look at these colors 😍 this is the perfect desktop supply bag IMHO.
At the moment, it’s listed for under $25 with a coupon!
Personalized Stethoscope Charm
Make it personal!
I got one of these charms 10 years ago and I LOVED it. Fun fact: this will NOT keep your stethoscope from being stolen (learned that the hard way) but I really enjoyed the subtle personalized touch to what’s now my VERY closely guarded stethoscope.
It’s even cheaper nowadays than when I first got one! Currently under $15 with the available coupon!
Affordable Silicone Apple Watch Bands
My jaw just about dropped when I found out how affordable having several options for Apple watch bands can be.
Stethoscope Case
You’re either a design-loving person or a design-hating person, there is NO in between.
Retro Pens!
The SPEED in which I put these into my Amazon cart, let me tell you.
These black-ink pens are so beautiful with a nice thick 1.0 mm ballpoint line (doesn’t bleed through my papers!), does NOT smudge, and they look so cute hooked into my top scrub pocket.
Did I mention you get TWELVE pens for $8 …!? This is not a drill.
Pastel Multi-color Ink Pens
You know the pens that have the little blue/red/green/black tabs at the top that we are obsessed with pressing down all at the same time??
These are THOSE.
These are thin 0.5 mm writing multi-color pens that make changing up the colors on your report sheets SO quick and easy! Personally, I love to write with one color when I receive report on a patient, THEN I use a different color to write down everything I assess and do throughout the day. It makes giving report in rounds or at change-of-shift SO easy.
You can get 6 pens for about $14 on Amazon right now!
Felt Badge Reels
There are SO many more to choose from than what you see here.
My favorite? The anatomic heart, speaks to the cardiac nurse in me 🫀🤍
I see some nurses changing their badge reel every day even! Honestly, I love that for them. For me, I’m lucky if I even remember my badge when I get to work each day.
Currently on sale! You can get EIGHT for under $12. How can you say no to a little felt brain with a smile.
Glass Mugs (!!)
This is a personal favorite!
I LOVE drinking my coffee out of this mug every morning while I get ready for work. It just feels✨expensive✨ if you know what I mean.
The coffee stays warm, it looks nice, and they’re big enough for hot OR iced drinks, no problem!
You get two for under $18 and I promise you, you’ll grab these first from the cabinet for your morning EVERY time.
Bamboo Bath Caddy
ALSO big favorite after my 3 day stretch!!
This bath caddy is almost identical to the one I have but this is actually way better. Mine doesn’t have that awesome phone holder and honestly, netflix on the phone over the bathtub rather than the laptop feels a lottt safer. So I found you this.
And it’s cheaper! What the heck. UNDER $30 and if bamboo isn’t your thing, they have a white option as well!
Stanley Cup
If you or your nurse friend aren’t on this trend yet, you’re about to be!
I see these Stanley cups EVERYWHERE at work and for good reason. The straw makes staying hydrated so quick and easy on the go (A MUST), the bottom fits in a cup holder (ALSO a must), and its double insulated (iced drinks stay iced all day for slow sippers like me).
This one also comes with a fully adjustable and closable lid if you’re wanting to covert to hot drinks!
$45 on Amazon, with a ton of colors to choose from! 😍
