A notebook, planner, or journal is a great gift for dietitians. Notebooks or bullet journals are perfect for writing down meeting notes, CEU activities, planning out nutrition business ideas, or sketching out the framework for a new course.

Books about nutrition or specialized topics of interest are another great gift for a dietitian's continuing education or for working with a specific population.


Here are some notebooks and books created by dietitians that would make great gifts for dietetics students, diet techs, or other dietitians:
