Nursing Week Is Here – There’s Still Time to Bag the Perfect Gift!

Nursing Week 2025 is officially underway in Canada (May 12–18), and it’s the perfect moment to celebrate the people who hold our healthcare system together—nurses. Whether they’re pulling 12-hour shifts, lending a listening ear, or simply showing up day after day with empathy and strength, nurses deserve every bit of the love this week brings. And if you haven’t found a gift yet—don’t panic. There’s still time.

At Baskits, we’ve got beautifully curated gift baskets that are ready to ship across Canada, fast. We offer quick delivery nationwide, and if you're in a rush, select regions in Ontario and the GTA even offer next-business-day delivery. So yes—you can still pull off a thoughtful, last-minute surprise that feels totally intentional.

Why Nurse Gifts Matter More Than Ever

This isn’t just another Hallmark moment. Nursing Week is about truly recognizing the hard work and heart that goes into this profession. A small, meaningful gift can go a long way in saying “thank you” for late nights, endless compassion, and steady support.

Whether you’re shopping for a friend, loved one, or your workplace nurse team, we’ve rounded up the best last-minute gift ideas from our Nurses Gift Collection that are in stock and ship fast.

Top Nurse Gifts That Deliver in Time

Spa Essentials

Long shifts and busy schedules mean downtime is rare. Spa Essentials is packed with beautifully curated self-care must-haves like a soothing bath bomb, refreshing face mist, and more. It's the kind of gift that says, “You deserve a break,” without saying a word.

Top Tip: Add a handwritten note thanking them for all they do—it’ll turn this gift into something truly personal.

Just Because

This one’s a go-to for when you want something thoughtful, elegant, and universally loved. Just Because includes a mix of sweet treats, cozy essentials, and a touch of luxury—perfect for nurses who need a little spoiling after hours.

Top Tip: This versatile gift works great for a team of nurses or for that one nurse in your life who’s always putting others first.

Chocolate Delight

Some days, only chocolate will do. Packed with premium truffles, bars, and melt-in-your-mouth goodness, Chocolate Delight is for the nurse who runs on caffeine and cocoa (don’t they all?). A guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Top Tip: Want to make it even more memorable? Include it with a gift card to their favourite local café.

Audrey (Faux Flowers)

Flowers are lovely—but fresh ones don’t last. Audrey is a stunning faux floral arrangement that brings spring vibes to any desk or break room and requires zero maintenance. It’s the gift that keeps on blooming, season after season.

Top Tip: Pair it with a card they can keep in their workspace as a little reminder of how appreciated they are.
