If anyone deserves to pour themselves a drink and relax at the end of a shift, it’s nurses. That’s why alcohol is nearly always a great gift for your co-worker, friend or even yourself.
Here are a few ideas to help you shop this holiday.

Wine and glasses
A bottle of someone’s favorite wine is always welcomed, but pairing it with one of these nurse-themed glasses takes the gift to another level. Head over to Amazon.com and check out a variety of stemless wine glasses to make your recipient smile.
This one, for registered nurses, has demarkations for a good day, bad day and “don’t ask.” Or this one, which reads, “Safety first. Drink with a nurse.” This glass, with “because patients” on it, will speak to any health care worker.
Each 15 ounce glass costs $15 or less.
Champagne, rosé candies
Not everyone can partake in alcoholic beverages, for health, religious or other reasons. These treats have all the taste with none of the alcohol.
According to the Sugarfina website, every all-natural Champagne gummy bear is “infused with Dom Pérignon Vintage Champagne and sparkles in flavors of Brut and Rosé.” Each box costs $9.95.
You can also toast the occasion with rosé jelly beans from Jelly Belly. They have all the flavor of a glass of bubbly in a 1.5 ounce bottle.

Holiday spirits greeting card
They’ll think they’re getting a card until they open it. Inside will be a 50 millileter bottle of Fireball, Jack Daniels, Grey Goose, Aviation Gin or another brand.
Sold by Nipyata.com, the outside of the card can be for Christmas, Hanukkah and other occasions.
Prices depend on which bottle you put inside, but range from about $25 to $30.
Cocktail kits
Is there a travel nurse on your gift-giving list? These cocktail kits are perfect for relaxing on a long flight.
Each kit comes with nearly everything you need to make a Gin and Tonic, Old Fashioned, Margarita and more. All you need is a glass and the alcohol.
The kits can be ordered from Amazon.com, with prices ranging from $23 for one to $110 for the frequent flyer eight pack.
