Taking care of sick people around the clock is no easy job. Add the constant we need you over here… we need you now pressure and it becomes very apparent just how special nurses are.

I’ve scoured the internet to find unique gift ideas for a nurse and came up with a list that would make any care taker smile. So whether a nurse cared for you while you were in the hospital, or is there for you on a daily basis, I’ve got the perfect gift for him or her:

The best unique gift ideas for a nurse are those which honor the nursing profession. Day in, and day out nurses do check ups and make sure people maintain a healthy lifestyle. What better way than giving your nurse a healthy food of the month club subscription! You can buy a one time gift box, or 3 to 6 month subscription where healthy treats are sent directly to their door.

Healthofthemonth.com offers all kinds of healthy goodies including healthy snacks, gourmet foods and you can even get heart healthy or gluten free foods! Let’s face it with nurses working long hours and constantly being on the go, they often have to resort to the unhealthy options at the vending machines. Help them be energized and promote health through example with a healthy food month of the club subscription!
