During this time, thank you gifts for hospital staff are appreciated by all of our frontline workers. I have some free SVG files that are going to help you show how much you appreciate all of the work and effort these individuals are putting forward during this time. I am starting with my cut file for treat bag toppers and gift tags, however, you will find so many more ideas below. Enjoy and use these with your Cricut to put a smile on a nurse or doctor’s face.
Free SVG for Healthcare Gift Tags and Bag Toppers
First, you will want to download the free SVG for the gift tags and bag toppers. I have a nurse’s hat and a doctor’s bag in each of the designs. These can be added to any thank you gifts for hospital staff and I have a few ideas for you below. Just sign up for my newsletter in the form below and the free healthcare SVG will be sent to your email.
Please remember that this SVG is for personal use only. Please contact me with any download issues or to enquire about commercial use.
Ideas for Thank You Gifts for Hospital Staff
Now that you have the bag toppers and gift tags, what types of gifts should you give to show that you care? Any small token of your appreciation will help during this time. But, I do have a few ideas that might help.
- Protein bars
- Gatorade
- Foot cream
- Fuzzy socks
- Lanyards
- Pocket organizer
- Handmade masks
- Headbands with buttons to protect ears from masks
- Freezer meals
- Gift card to a local restaurant
- Homemade snacks and treats
- Shirt
- Water bottle
- Mug
- Tumbler
Some of these ideas can be customized using the free healthcare SVG files below. So, brainstorm some ideas then get creative with your Cricut machine. Make some gifts and add to a gift bag with our topper or tie on one of our gift tags!
How to Make the Gift Bag Toppers and Gift Tags
Now that you have your free healthcare appreciation SVG file, you will want to make the gift bags and tags to add in your thank you gifts for hospital staff.
Supplies needed:
- Cardstock (white, red, and brown)
- Dry adhesive
- Twine for tags
- Hole punch for tags
- Cricut machine
- Cricut pens (optional)
- Gift bags
- SVG (downloaded from the form above)
Then use those supplies to make the gift bag topper and tags using the instructions below.
Supplies
- Cardstock white, red, and brown
- Dry adhesive
- Twine for tags
- Hole punch for tags
- Cricut machine
- Cricut pens optional
- Gift bags
- SVG downloaded from the form above
Instructions
- Upload the SVG file to your Cricut and cut all of your components. You will need to resize to fit the gift bag you are working with. I also added text to my tags and wrote it with my Cricut but this is optional.
- Fold the nurse hat and doctor bag topper in half.
- Use adhesive to add the red cross to your pieces.
- Repeat for as many gift bag toppers and gift tags as you are making.
- Use additional adhesive or even staples to attach the bag toppers to the top of your gift bags. Use adhesive to add the hat and bag to the top of your gift tags.
- For the tags, you will also need to punch a hole and add some twine to tie them on to your gifts.
- Repeat for as many gift bags or tags as you would like to make.
So, fill up those gift bags or make a gift for a healthcare professional. Any gift is sure to be appreciated and will show them just how you feel about what they are doing during this unprecedented time.
I do love both of these ideas but the gift tags may be my favorite. They are so simple and perfect for adding to literally any gift that you can give or even make.
So, make a list of those healthcare professionals in your life and think of things you can offer to help them during this time. Just a homemade meal or treat will at least ease some of their stress.

Maybe you could come up with something those of us without Cricut machines could do similarly. Nice idea, but I have no Cricut.
Hmmm…I think I might be able to come up with a template!
