Starting your first job as an RN is equal parts thrilling and terrifying, and the right gift can make that first week feel a little less overwhelming. A handmade scrub cap is practical (hair protection during 12-hour shifts is non-negotiable), affordable, and genuinely exciting to unwrap — especially in prints this fun. Here are our go-to picks for the new grad in your life.

A bright, juicy print that photographs beautifully for the obligatory "first day of orientation" picture. $28 CAD
Blueberry Berry Summer Spring Coquette Fruit Print Scrub Cap
Sweet coquette-meets-fruit print that new grads keep coming back to reorder in every color. $35 CAD
Blueberry Coquette Bow Floral Spring Fruit Print Scrub Cap
A bow-and-berries print that's soft, feminine, and instantly recognizable in the break room. $35 CAD
Coconut Tropical Vacation Summer Floral Print Scrub Cap
A little vacation state of mind for someone about to start their very real, very demanding new job. $35 CAD
Pink Strawberry Floral Spring Fruit Print Scrub Cap
Fresh, feminine, and a nice change from the standard-issue solid caps most units hand out. $35 CAD
New grads tend to build a whole collection fast, once they realize how much easier a well-fitted, breathable cap makes a long shift. Any one of these makes a great "congrats on passing NCLEX" or first-day-of-orientation gift.
