Sick of candy? Tired of new stethoscopes? Bored with another pair of Crocs? Holiday shopping for a nurse can be physically draining, emotionally exhausting, and often disappointing. We can’t seem to find the right thing for our friends and colleagues and our family and friends can’t seem to find the right thing for us. Well, full of holiday spirit, we are here to lend you a hand with seven fantastic gift ideas.

We’ve compiled a list of gifts perfect for the nurse on your list this holiday season. And, if you are the nurse on other people’s lists, feel free to pass along the link to this article. Then, just hope your loved ones pick out the one you really want:

1. A gift certificate to SpaWish.com. Who couldn’t use a break this time of year? The great thing about this site is you can either redeem this gift for a day of relaxation at a spa in your neighborhood (they can be used at thousands across the country) or you can go on a stress-relieving shopping spree. Robes, bath crystals, and even pet-related items are just a few of the highlights. If you go, tell them Stressed Out Nurses sent you.
2. A donation to a charitable organization. There’s nothing tangible about this one, but there’s also nothing quite like the feeling of helping someone less fortunate around the holidays. Pick out a favorite–or maybe one that doesn’t get much attention–and experience the joy of giving.
3. A classy travel coffee mug. Is this idea an oxymoron? Nope, not at all. There are some really nice travel mugs out there, here for example, and it’s a gift that you can use all year. Plus, in case you didn’t hear: Nurses like to drink coffee for an extra kick before a 12-hour shift. That’s a little secret you can pass along.
4. A membership in a fruit or wine of the month club. Speaking of gifts that give all year, what better way to show someone you’re still thinking about them come July than a year-long membership in a club? If you’re feeling the fruit, check this site out. If wine is more your style, click here and take a peek around. Remember, whether you’re dealing with fruit or wine, enjoy in moderation.
5. A stethoscope cell phone charm. This way, you’ll always know what cell phone is yours. Plus, it’s, um, dangly. Not sold? Yeah, maybe it won’t turn any heads in the New Year, but it’s cute, it’s a novelty, and it’s inexpensive. Click here if you want to take a closer look.
6. A trial membership to a gym. Ring in the New Year by taking a few pounds–and a few inches–off here and there. And don’t think of it as an insulting gift: Health clubs are great places to meet people, so think of it as a way to broaden someone’s social horizons. Plus, it’s a great way to blow off steam.
7. A Stressed Out book. Did you honestly think we’d get through a whole list of holiday gift ideas without plugging our books? Come on. As you can see from the lineup of titles on the left side of the page (go ahead, take a look; we’ll wait a couple of seconds . . .), we’ve got you covered with everything from communication skills and difficult patients to drug math and your first year as a nurse. Pick a favorite and share the stress relief.

Happy Holidays!
