Show the Nurses in your life some Love with a super amazing and affordable handmade personalized gift. A personalized gift is the most thoughtful way to say Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Thank You, or simply to say I Love You. And with all that Nurses do and put up with, they deserve the best!
My sister is an RN, so all Nurses hold a very special place in my heart. Starting with her Graduation, I’ve had my eye out for Nurse themed gifts for every occasion. I personally try to make handmade gifts whenever I can, but sometimes that’s no always possible. So buying a handmade gift is the next best thing. And why not take it up a notch more and make it a handmade personalized gift! With the Holidays right around the corner, I wish I’d had a curated list like this one for all the gifts I need this season.
Since I’ve had my eye out for Nurses gifts for years, I have taken note of all the best most unique personalized gifts I’ve come across from across the globe (or across the internet at least) and compiled them into one convenient list for you to browse. The handmade gifts listed here range from Christmas gifts, to graduation, to retirement, and everything in between.
Rest assured, these aren’t just my little ‘ole craft blogger picks. These have all been gifted to my sister , or at least run by her at some point, so they are Nurse Approved! The hardest part about giving your nurse the perfect personalized is going to be narrowing it down to just one.
Personalized Heart Stethoscope Tote Bag
When you work 12+ hours days, you cant just leave the house with your keys and cell phone. This super cute bag is practical, and it holds more than you will even need room for. My favorite part is that it can be personalized with a name, so it doesn’t get lost in the nurses station, unless of course the other nurses get jelly and take it!
Head over to SimplyCustomLife for all sorts of colors and styles. You even have the option to add a 13 pocket organizer. Heck, I’m not a Nurse but even I need this bag in my life!
Personalized Stethoscope ID Charm Name Tag
You may not be able to use this one if your not a Nurse, unlike the super cute tote I just showed you, but that does not change the fact that this personalized nurse gift is just darling! I gifted this to my Sister when she graduated with her RN and she was just over the moon.
You have the option to add whatever text you like with several font options, your choice of stamp, and so many cute charms. Head over to PatriciaRayStudio to see even more options, including one with an engraved Birth Stone. This one is priceless!
Personalized A4 Nurses clipboard
No Nurses life is complete without their very own personalized clip board. This one is super practical, cute, and will leave the other Nurses wishing they had such an amazing gift giver in their life!

Personalized and Glitter Dripped Nurse tumbler with Heartbeat stethoscope
Running around for 12+ hours straight, Nurses often forget to take care of themselves so this Handmade Personalized Tumbler is the perfect way to remind your Nurse to stay hydrated.

You can choose between rose gold, silver, pink, and others, PourSomeGlitterOnMe has it all.
Interchangeable Scrub Top Badge Reel
Talk to any nurse you know and they’ll all agree on one thing….keeping track of their badge is harder than keeping track of their patients!

Quite possibly my favorite on this list of unique personalized Nurse gifts, is this hand painted Jute bag. This beautiful eco-friendly and waterproof gift has a cute hand painted caricature character designed to look just like your nurse! This one is definitely for a girly girl since it includes a ribbon on the handle and plenty of glitter to make them look super sparkly and girly.
