Black Friday deals are upon us and it’s time to start thinking about the Travel Nurse in your life! They’re busy and focused on patient care. The more we can do to support travel nurses in their healthy habits and self-care rituals, the better they can rest and recharge. We asked our travelers what they’d love Santa to bring and here are the ideas they offered for our 2023 Travel Nurse Holiday Gift Guide.
Travel Nurse Holiday Gift Guide
First we do the coffee, then we do the things. Here’s what’s good for the home:
- Our first recommendation is a Portable Espresso Machine, because what Nurse don’t need a bit of fuel to start their shift. ($55)
- Next is the task of bringing only what you need; the Always Pan is the all-in-one solution for the nurse who cooks at home. Travelers say when they have this pan, they don’t have to worry about relying on what is available at their rental property. ($100)
- If getting healthy is a New Year’s resolution, the Pod Garden Kit may be the perfect gift! Enjoy fresh herbs and vegetables throughout the year, no matter where they travel. ($99)
Now that your nurse is off shift, they can make use of these self-care items:
- Silk Pillowcases absorb less moisture than their cotton counterparts. Keep skin looking fresh and hydrated wherever you’re traveling. ($20)
- For the night shift nurse, we recommend the Wake Up Light Alarm which synthesizes light to keep the circadian rhythm going, making late night waking easier. ($39)
- Relax in your spa-like home with a Wall Diffuser, an aromatherapy diffuser to make every new living space feel like home away from home. ($45)
- The travel Nurse Care Package includes a coffee mug, shea butter soap, and lavender lotion. (Etsy) $35
We might as well embrace technology. Let’s make their lives easier with these tech-based ideas.
- Can’t be without a phone so why not invest in a Universal Charger. This one includes six different cable attachments and is small enough to always fit in a bag. ($16)
- Want to show off photos or watch a movie? This Mini Projector is pocket-sized and perfect for the traveler in your life. ($40)
- Is your travel nurse a reader? The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect gift, especially for those who have a never ending TBR (to be read) list. ($140)
On the go gear for your busy travel nurse, this year’s holiday gift guide includes:
- Rechargeable Hand Warmers are great for travelers taking assignments in any of the northern states, especially Alaska! ($23)
- Keep the essentials safely close to the body with the Lululemon Belt Bag, the perfect on-the-go bag for travel nurses. ($38)
- For the nurse who loves adventure, Beis the Weekender Bag is a perfect choice! ($108)
- Lunch Totes for the budget-friendly traveler from retailers like Target in a variety of colors, designs, and prices.
Lastly, we know our travel nurses love seeking outdoor adventure on their days off. Here are recommendations for travel water bottles. And really, you can’t go wrong with any of these brands!
- The popular Stanley Flowstate Quencher is the original cup that started the trend. ($45)
- Owala FreeSip Tumbler is the cup with the best color options, in our opinion. ($38)
- The tried and true HyrdroFlask All Around Travel is a favorite. ($45)
