Medical IDs can be one of the most thoughtful and beautiful Valentine’s Day gifts you could give to a loved one. While taking a vacation is the top gift that both men and women would like to receive, this survey says that both genders agree that the point of Valentine’s Day is to show how much you care.

Medical alert jewelry, like bracelets and necklaces, express how important your loved one’s health, safety, and well-being are for you. This is a valuable present to give loved ones like your partner, children, and even as a beautiful present to yourself. Remember, medical IDs can speak for you or your loved ones in times of emergency and allow you to receive the right treatment at the right time. While we cannot be with loved ones 24/7, a medical ID can keep them safe no matter how far away you are.

Like other top Valentine’s Day gifts, medical ID bracelets and necklaces can be personalized with important health information.

Buying medical alert jewelry for someone can be easy when you know what to look for. Follow these simple steps to get the right medical ID for you or your loved one:

1. Engraving: Decide what information you would like to engrave. If necessary, ask a doctor what information is the most important to engrave. Medical ID engraving suggestions include the wearer’s name, medical condition and emergency contact.

2. Age and Lifestyle: Are you torn between buying a medical alert bracelet or necklace? Emergency Personnel are trained to look for medical IDs around the neck AND wrists. Choose an ID style that is comfortable, convenient, safe, and enjoyable for the wearer.
   
   Also, keep in mind if you are buying a medical ID for yourself, active kids, teens, or an adult. Age can help you choose the style and the level of durability of the medical ID jewelry - choose from stainless steel, silver, gold, titanium, a silicone band and beaded bracelets.

3. Personal style: Everyone has a different style. It's what makes you or your loved one unique. Vintage, classic, western, modern, and urban styles of medical alerts are available from American Medical ID’s large selection of medical alerts. Ask yourself if the medical ID you choose is something your loved one can wear with pride.
