The perfect nurse Valentine gift is not as elusive as it may seem. Most nurses appreciate any thoughtful gesture, however there are a few gift ideas that are a step above the rest. Of course you could go for the traditional flowers and chocolates, but nurses work hard and deserve something more substantial. Also, let’s just be real honest here. Flowers die and well, that’s depressing and nurses have to put up with enough sad things on a daily basis.
Nurse Valentine Gift Ideas
To help you on your mission of finding a great Valentine for a special nurse in your life, we’ve compiled a list of 3 of the best Valentine gifts for nurses.
3M 6163 Littmann Cardiology IV
- Diagnose and make decisions with confidence
- Hear subtle changes in patient status
- Useful in critical care and challenging environments such as the ED, ICU, Cardiac ICU, step-down unit and other dynamic locations
- 7-year warranty
Give a nurse a valentine she’ll use and appreciate for years to come: One of the best stethoscopes for nurses. The 3M 6163 Littmann Cardiology IV fits the bill.
This stethoscope could warm any nurse’s heart and will allow them to hear and touch the hearts of her patients. This stethoscope has. It features the following:
- Versatile auscultation for both adults and pediatric patients
- Tunable diaphragms that are pressure sensitive for low and high-frequency sounds
- Technology to reduce noise interference
- Anatomical design that is more comfortable on the ear canal
A Visit to a Spa
We’ve already established that nursing is hard work that can really take a toll on a nurse’s body. Unfortunately, most nurses are so busy caring for others that they hardly every take the time to care for themselves. A full-body massage is just one small way that a nurse can care for themselves. Help facilitate that relaxation and self care by giving a gift certificate or planning and paying for a special day ahead of time. A Spa Finder gift card can be used at many spas and purchase conveniently online. However, I would recommend taking it a step further and making the appointment and even doing all the driving for for him or her off on the day of the appointment. That way when they have finished their relaxing day they can avoid the stress of traffic and continue the relaxing experience.
Jewelry
While it may be a cliche Valentine’s gift, we think that jewelry is always a winner. However, not every type of jewelry is fair game in the search for the perfect Valentine’s day gift. Nurse’s have to be careful about what type of jewelry they wear to work. For example, for nurses that work at the beside, extra rings, long dangling necklaces, or chunky bracelets are not practical or sanitary. So the safest bet for nurses is a simple necklace or a pair of stud or hoop earrings.
Some of my favorite jewelry for nurses are simple necklaces.
Any gift or thoughtful gesture will likely be appreciated by a nurse. Sometimes it’s just the simple act of showing someone you care that can mean more than any item. Nurses do so much for so many. Be sure to do something nice for the nurse in your life this Valentine’s Day.
Bonus Gift
For the nurse who seems to have it all, consider getting them a nursing tote bag with pockets. Help ease their burdens and literally take some weight off their back. These bags could give Hermione’s beaded bag (you know, the one that could fit everything from a luxury tent to food and books and saved all their lives?) a seriously bad inferiority complex.

Yes! You can never go wrong with jewelery! And spa gifts. And a NICE stethoscope. Hard to pick, Nurse Wilson! I will have to take all three.
Spa one is my favorite too! I am taking myself to a Reiki share on Friday night. Treat for me. Oh, and to add to your list, how about a book that invites a bit of self love. ‘Nursing from Within’ closes up with a twist on love- I even heard from one nurse blogger that she was surprised the book ended up that way. :- ) Folks can always check out ‘Nursing from Within’ as another gift idea. <3
Great ideas! Love them, especially the spa one. 🙂
Thanks so much, Kayla.
I’m thinking I might need to get a massage sometime soon, myself. 🙂
Your comment about not needing flowers because nurses have to deal with enough sad things on a daily basis just cracked me up! Love it.
I’m Glad.
It is true, you know.
I’ve always found flowers to be a waste of money. I am thankful when I get them, but there are so many better things that $50 can be spent on.
