What’s that we can feel in the air? It feels like romance! That’s because the most romantic day of the year is almost upon us… Valentine’s Day is, as ever, on 14th February and up and down the country, there are declarations of undying love everywhere.

We understand that not everyone wants to celebrate Valentine’s, either because they think it’s a commercial waste of time or because they’re currently without a Beau. (In which case, why not celebrate Galentine’s Day instead?) 

But if you do, and you’re stuck for gift ideas, here’s six of our fave ideas (and you’ll notice that there’s a few fitness gift ideas hiding away in there too!) for showing your romantic partner what they mean to you.

• If you’re a traditionalist, then you may want to stick to a dozen red roses, a romantic card and dinner for two. But you can still be traditional whilst giving things a modern twist. So instead of roses, opt for early spring flowers such as bluebells, daffodils and primroses. This happens to be more ecologically sound too, as roses have to be imported to the UK in February since they’re a summer bloom. 
• Is your partner into fitness? Or looking to get into fitness? We think that one of the best fitness gifts you could ever possibly give is a subscription to Own Your Goals! You might live in the same house, but you might be at different fitness levels, so you’ll be completing different OYG workouts at different times – hence the need for a separate log in. All genders, abilities and body shapes are more than welcome here.
• On the topic of fitness, nothing says I love you more, than a new pair of trainers. Bear with us here. What we wear on our feet is one of the most important aspects of our workout gear. Supported feet are essential to help avoid strains and sprains as we train. So if theirs have seen better days, a new pair will go down a treat. Plus you can say goodbye to the smell of old, sweaty training shoes in the house…
• One more, we promise… Racy underwear is a common staple gift at Valentine’s, but let’s face it, it’s quite often uncomfortable, scratchy and not very practical. So what’s the alternative? A new sports bra of course! Comfortable, secure and practical, they’re second only to our trainers when it comes to our kit. 
• That’s enough of the fitness gifts, let’s get back to the traditional romance – dinner to be precise. Our Recipe pages are positively packed with meal ideas, and they’re easily sorted by main ingredient or special diet. Plan a tasty and healthy home cooked meal, and leave the washing up for the morning…
• February 14th falls on a Monday this year, which is pretty rubbish. So why not go all out the day before with a lazy romantic Sunday starting with breakfast in bed. Try our delicious Egg Bread Breakfast with Avocado, a One Pan Veg Brunch or Scrambled Tofu on Toast. Enjoy!
