Nurses Week Gifts Mugs for EMTs
12-hour shifts. Impossible patients. They deserve more than pizza in the break room. The perfect mugs for the emts in your life.
Why Mugs for EMTs
EMT work is intense, underpaid, and misunderstood. You're not ambulance drivers - you're lifesavers working in the back of a moving vehicle. These stickers get the reality.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
About Nurses Week Gifts
Nurses don't just have jobs—they have callings that involve bodily fluids, impossible hours, and the emotional labor of keeping people alive. They've held hands at 3am, dealt with patients who think WebMD is a medical degree, and somehow maintained compassion through it all. Nurses Week (May 6-12) is the bare minimum we can do to acknowledge that these humans are built different. They've earned gifts that match their energy: dark, funny, and deeply appreciative.
