What are the Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Nurses?
With Valentine’s Day nearing as it does every year, I compiled a list of some of the best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for nurses. I did my best to make a generic list that both male and female nurses will love. I’m hoping to, at least, inspire some ideas in those of you who are clueless (trust me, I’ve been there).
When it comes to gifts for nurses or nursing students, I think you could get them anything and they would be happy. It is just nice to feel loved and appreciated by your coworkers, family and friends. However, I wanted to get together a list of things that I would want as a nurse on the floor or working.
These gifts are things that nurses might use every day, but they don’t want to buy themselves. Or, their current stuff is all worn-out. Whatever the case, let’s get into it!
Best Valentine’s Day Gift for a Nurse
In my opinion, the best Valentine’s Day Gift for a nurse is one you give them from the heart. While there are a lot of V-Day gift options that I’m going to give you, just remember that you know the person best. Get them something that you know they will love.
Affordable Gift Ideas

Special Nurse Gift Ideas
These are some options for that someone special in your life. While they might be a bit more expensive, it’s worth it to put that smile on your favorite nurses face!
Figs (Scrubs)
If you’ve been a hospital recently, you’ve most likely seen this logo on someone’s scrubs. These are the ever-so-famous “Instagram grown” scrub brand “Figs”. These are premium scrubs that are on the pricey side, but are very very good scrubs. These scrubs are not only great gifts for female nurses, but male nurses as well. They’re becoming more and more popular among male and female nurses, making Figs’ Scrubs a perfect Valentine’s Gift for any nurse!
Dolan Scrubs
I recently took a look at these new scrubs from Dolan. They were actually incredibly impressive and one of our favorites to date. They are comparable to FIGS, however at a much better price point and quality standpoint.
Stethoscopes
Stethoscopes are one of a nurse’s most important tools. They get lost, stolen or broken and are one of those things that nurse’s don’t necessarily always want to keep “repurchasing”. Here are a few options at some different price points that are sure to be a great gift.
- Lightest weight of all Littmann adult stethoscopes at just 118 grams
- Dual-sided chestpiece provides versatility of both a tunable diaphragm and open bell
- Monitor and assess a wide range of patients
- Detect normal and abnormal sounds and rhythms

Jewelry
Jewelry is an awesome gift to say to someone how much they mean to you. It typically has a stigma around it that says it has to be expensive. Well we are here to tell you different.
We pieced together a “DIY” affordable necklace from Amazon, for men and women nurses. All-in it is a total of about $30 and really sends a meaningful message.
You can interchange the parts, but the chain we used was this one:
- Timeless Jewelry: The Hawaiian Silver Jewelry sterling silver 1mm box chain is a classic piece that should not be missing from your collection. Simple and refined, this necklace can be worn on its own or paired with your favorite charm or pendant.
- Pick the Length: To make sure our silver box chain for women looks exactly as you want around your neck, our collection features a very wide range of lengths varying from 14 to 36-inch. For a unique effect, you can even pick several necklaces of different sizes and wear them together.
- Exquisite Materials: Our 1mm box chain is made of 92.5% sterling silver. This chain is reliable and long-lasting, as well as safe to wear straight on the skin.
- Italian Craftmanship: This sterling silver box chain is proudly made in Italy following the old local tradition of jewelry making. Each 1mm box is crafted with care and attention to detail.
- Unique Gift: Get one of our box silver chain for yourself or as a lovely gift for any special person in your life. This unisex nickel free long necklace is a staple piece in anyone’s collection so you can help your family and friends enjoy high-end jewelry with their everyday outfits.
And the pendant we used was this one:
- Medical caduceus gift – RN
- High polished stainless steel key ring, antique silver plated RN charm, eco-friendly made, with nickle and lead safe
- Key ring measures 1 1/5″ in diameter, RN measures 4/5″
- Makes a perfect gift idea for birthday, christmas, graduation or just because
- Comes with a velvet bag for easy gift-giving
The pendant linked uses the “RN” initials, but there are several other initials that you can purchase including; DNP, MSN, RT, NP, LPN, FNP, etc.
You can also make some of your own designs using a kit like this combined with your own chain.
Nursing Shoes (Dansko)
- Leather and or fabric uppers
- Padded instep collar for comfort when walking
- Roomy reinforced toe box for protection with plenty of “wiggle room” for your toes

These are some of the most “worn” shoes in healthcare, especially for female nurses and OR staff. These shoes are highly regarded in the healthcare community. They can be a bit on the pricey side, however you cannot go wrong with this purchase. Dansko’s will make any nurse’s Valentine’s Day a special one to remember!9
