Some Bunny Loves a Nurse: A Scrub Easter Basket
Whether a nurse loves their scrubs or not, it’s something they have to live and work in day in and day out. That’s why putting together a scrub Easter basket is a fantastic way to show gratitude for the nurse in your life. That said, not all scrubs are created equally. Here’s a look at some of the best scrub brands that are also stylish and can creatively be arranged in an Easter basket tailored to a nurse's lifestyle:
Cherokee
Cherokee medical uniforms and accessories date back to 1972. Cherokee, therefore, is a classic scrub brand that has been approved by healthcare workers around the world. Cherokee manufactures extremely high-quality scrubs at accessible prices and offers a range of cuts, colors, and designs. It’s a stable brand choice for any nurse working in a medical setting. Check out some of Cherokee’s best-selling scrubs here.
FIGS
While FIGS is a relatively new medical uniform brand, it has won over the hearts of healthcare workers everywhere due to its incredibly soft fabric and the fact that the scrubs are antimicrobial, anti-wrinkle, moisture-wicking, and the list goes on. Moreover, FIGS is a great choice for both men and women nurses and offers a variety of stylish cuts and colors. You honestly can’t go wrong when shopping for a pair of FIGS scrubs.

Putting Together Your Personalized Nurse Easter Basket
After you decide on the perfect pair of scrubs for the nurse you love, it’s time to put together your scrub nurse basket with those extra Easter touches. You can start by arranging your scrub nurse basket by wrapping the nurse’s scrub set in some hoppy Easter holiday wrapping paper. Next, you can furnish the basket with a few small nurse items like these personalized nurse wooden coasters or a custom registered nurse (RN) water bottle. Top off the basket with some delicious gourmet chocolate eggs, and you can be sure that your nurse friend, family member, or sweetheart will be absolutely thrilled when they receive their Easter treats!
Nursing Shoes Easter Basket
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket—unless, of course, it’s an awesome pair of nursing shoes for the nurse you appreciate and care for. And while putting shoes in a basket for an Easter gift may sound a bit strange, there are plenty of ways you can arrange a smart and creative Easter basket with a great pair of nursing shoes that will knock that special nurse off their feet! And here’s how:
Find a High-Quality Nursing Shoe
Nursing shoes come in all sizes, styles, and qualities. But, if we had to settle on a few brands of quality nursing shoes, they would be Figs | New Balance or Sketchers. On that note, make sure you check out our list of the best nursing shoes to slip on in 2022. From there, you can decide what shoe would be the best fit for the dear nurse in your life. Next, keep the original shoe box from your nursing shoe purchase, paint it, and fill it with colorful Easter stuffing. If you want to add a few more Easter frills, like chocolate eggs or candies, go right ahead! Or else, surprising your nurse with a fantastic pair of nursing shoes is probably enough to make them happy (both in their heart and on their feet!).
Stethoscope Easter Basket
Gifting a nurse a symbol of health on Easter will show how much you appreciate them. With that in mind, a stethoscope is a clever gift to put in your nurse Easter basket. We love this personalized nurse stethoscope pin and these handmade stethoscope ID tags that can be sprinkled into a creative nurse Easter basket. Moreover, if you are looking to really WOW a nurse this Easter holiday, why not gift them a beautiful sterling silver stethoscope necklace? Finally, complete your stethoscope Easter basket with some brightly-colored jelly beans, candy eggs, and other delicious bunny-themed treats!
Why Do We Give Gifts on Easter?
Easter is a traditional Christian festival that pays tribute to the death of Jesus and honors his rise from the dead thereafter. At the same time, many people embrace Easter, despite their religious affiliation, as an opportunity to show love and gratitude for those they care about most. That’s why gifting a thoughtful Easter basket is the perfect way to celebrate the deep roots of this holiday and thank that special nurse in your life for being them. Happy Easter!
