Christmas Gifts for Nurses: Swap-On Badge Reels

A good Christmas gift for a nurse is something small she will use every shift. A Patchistry badge reel has a hook and loop face, so she can swap $6.00 patches to match her mood.

How it works

Pick a reel, press on the patches you like, and swap them any time. Each patch has a hook and loop back that sticks to the reel face or any loop-front trucker hat, like our Canvas, so nothing gets sewn or glued. You build your own look, one patch at a time.

The Badge Reel ($9.99). A hook and loop face that holds swappable patches. The first Badge Reel patch is free when the reel is in your cart.
