Essentials
While hands might be germ-free with all the extra washing and sanitization but they are so dry they can be used as a fire starter. To combat this help them keep their hands moisturized with a super hydrating lotion like Aquaphor or Cetaphil are great choices.

A gift card for food delivery
The only thing worse than a long day of work is a long day of work followed by hours in the kitchen cooking dinner. Give your nurse friends a night off with a gift card to a food delivery service like GrubHub or DoorDash. They can order takeout from their favorite local restaurant (and even a cocktail to match!) and kick back and relax.
Grocery delivery to make their lives easier
Nurses rarely have the time—or the energy—to get to the grocery store, especially in the current environment when their shifts are longer and their stress is higher. I.e. they’ll love having their groceries delivered right to their house. You can ask for their specific list to order for them or just give a gift card to one of the popular grocery delivery services like Instacart, Shipt, or Amazon Fresh.
The boozy subscription service everyone loves: Firstleaf
Let’s be honest: Sometimes the best way to unwind after a stressful day is with a glass (or maybe even a bottle) of wine. So your nurse friends are sure to appreciate a subscription to Firstleaf, the wine delivery service our editors love for its quality and customization options. Each month, your giftee will get a box of six bottles of vino curated to their preferences from red to white to rose. Salut!

A cozy weighted blanket to help them sleep
Whether they’re a night shift nurse trying to catch a few Z’s during the day or simply having trouble drifting off after a stressful shift, sleep can be hard to come by for nurses. A weighted blanket—with its gentle pressure that calms your nervous system—can help with that. We recommend the Gravity blanket because it’s super soft to the touch and provides just the right amount of pressure (not too heavy, not too light).

A Disney+ subscription for their nights off
In the rare moments that they’re not at the hospital, your nurse friends likely just want to zone out in front of the TV and snuggle up with a cozy blanket (see above weighted blanket suggestion!). Give them something good to watch (rather than endlessly browsing Netflix) with a subscription to Disney+. The popular streaming service has every Disney show and movie imaginable—including Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic—and is completely family-friendly for any nurses with little ones.
