23 Dec Online Registered Dietitian Best Gifts for the Holidays

The holiday season is just around the corner! And if you’re like many people, you may have a list of things to do with limited time and budget. But don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to make the most of your celebration. Here our online nutritionist team’s last-minute holiday shopping list. We got together to come up with our favorite holiday gift ideas.

Give time. Spend quality time with loved ones by going on hikes, ice skating, attending storytelling events, having coffee dates, doing puzzles together, exploring museums, and more. Rather than standing in long lines, use the time to connect with those who matter most during the holidays.

Give memories. Instead of focusing on material gifts, focus on creating lasting memories. Consider giving tickets to sporting events or memberships to clubs or organizations. Movie passes and museum tours are great options for building relationships and making memories that will last.

Give tradition. Pass down your favorite family recipes and crafts to the next generation, or create new traditions together. For eco-friendly gift wrapping, use brown paper and write heartfelt messages on them. Small gestures can make a big difference.

Give compassion. Encourage your children to organize food drives, book drives, or holiday caroling events in the neighborhood. These activities teach compassion and gratitude while building a sense of community.

Give learning. Engage your mind with stimulating activities like reading, storytelling, crossword puzzles, or joining clubs for science, art, music, or knitting. Keep your brain active and learn new skills during the holiday season.

Give health. Treat yourself or someone you love to an online consultation with a registered dietitian in the new year. Gift virtual nutrition counseling for your family. Join a virtual fitness club, indoor pool, or local community club with a family membership to prioritize health and well-being.

Here’s to a healthy, happy, and peaceful holiday and new year. We look forward to sharing new ideas and information with you in the coming year.
