The next component of the perfect thank you for your Dietetic Mentor includes the actual gift!

First and foremost, you are NOT obligated to give a gift to your mentor. We know the expenses ADD up quite a bit for #RD2BE’s. A thoughtful thank-you note is MORE than enough; your mentor will be more than happy with a card. However, if you do wish to go the extra mile and purchase a gift, we’ve got you covered!

  • Mugs are a great choice; we all know RD’s and #RD2BE’s run on caffeine.

  • A thank you for your thyme plant is a clever and thoughtful gift.

Dietitian not Dietician

  • You cannot go wrong with the food; we all love snacks and sweets! If you want to test out those food science skills, make something homemade. If the Betty Crocker life isn’t for you, don’t be afraid to grab some cookies off the shelf. We’ve all passed off Tollhouse cookies as our “own” before!
