While many of us remain safe within the confines of our homes, I can't help but think about the essential workers who continue to risk their lives for our collective health. My sister is one of them.
I'm eternally grateful for the doctors, nurses, drivers, grocery store employees, and all the people who are on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic, working diligently to create better days. It only seems fitting to consistently remind them of our admiration for their selfless dedication.
The holiday season is as good a time as any to express your gratitude to the men and women who are saving lives while excelling in their careers. They are beyond inspiring and more than deserving of these tokens. From a flower subscription that will brighten their days to a set of self-care goods that will relax them after a long day of caring for others, these ideas will make the nurses in your life feel appreciated.
