We’ve partnered with Samsung to help you come up with Valentine’s Day gift ideas that will make wellness-lovers’ hearts race.
When your sweetheart prefers yoga classes and green smoothies to champagne toasts and chocolates, the standard Valentine's Day gifts just aren't going to work. Still, giving your special someone a new gym towel or shaker bottle hardly says "I love you." To help you come up with the perfect Valentine's Day gift for the fitness fan in your life, we tapped seven health and wellness experts for advice. Read on to find out what they're giving their friends and family this Valentine's Day — you might even want to treat yourself to one of these buzzy gifts!
Vitruvi Stone Essential Oil Diffuser
"If asked what is one thing I couldn't live without in my bedroom for sleep, it would be my essential oil diffuser ($105). Regardless of how on-board you are with the health benefits of essential oils, we all know that restful, quality sleep is absolutely key to our health and well-being, and having a serene, sacred place to catch those zzz's helps immensely. When you reinforce the habit of turning on your diffuser and smelling a specific relaxing essential oil scent at bedtime, your brain associates it with restfulness and makes it that much easier to be on top of your sleep game!" — Minna Lee, personal trainer and nutrition coach
The Samsung Galaxy Watch
"The easiest way to keep track of your fitness goals is with a smartwatch. I love the Samsung Galaxy Watch ($279 and up) because it not only tracks your calories, steps, and reps at the gym, but also provides tons of insight into how you sleep at night and even your stress levels. Plus, it comes in different sizes and styles that work for both men and women." — Annalise Mantz, associate native living and fitness editor
ClassPass
"When I gift, I gravitate towards giving an experience — either something inspiring and unique that I picked up while traveling, or something I know will provide an experience of tremendous value to my loved one. ClassPass ($100) has been an experience that I've personally benefited from for the past few months now — and it has influenced my relationship to my mind and my body for the better. It's perfect for any current or aspiring fitness enthusiasts, especially jet-setters and those with a fast-paced lifestyle. Gift this to inspire your partner or friends to love the skin they're in and elevate what they imagine is possible in 2019." — Lauren Ash, yoga and meditation guide
X Via Verano Meditation Pillow
"These meditation pillows ($160) encourage proper spine and pelvic alignment, which can help you breathe more deeply and sit comfortably for longer periods of time. I recommend them for anyone who is seeking to enhance the benefits associated with meditation." — Chelsea Williams, wellness blogger and public health specialist
Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender
"I absolutely love this product because it allows me to effortlessly make healthy smoothies packed with essential nutrients from whole fruits and vegetables. It's the ultimate kitchen appliance for creating a quick and healthy snack or meal-replacement shake. I personally love having my green smoothies first thing in the morning for an energy boost. This blender ($350) would make an excellent Valentine's Day present for any health-conscious friend, family member, or significant other who can't live without their smoothies and protein shakes, but could also use a little upgrade to their blender situation." — Dr. Audrey Sue Cruz, internal medicine physician
For All Kind Moss Parka
"This parka ($377) is perfect for the yogi and eco-conscious friend or lover in your life. It's stylish, extremely warm, and is the perfect outer layer to take you from gym to date night." — Emily Chen, yoga and lifestyle blogger
TRX Home2
"This TRX suspension trainer ($170) is a great gift for someone traveling a lot, but it's also in-home friendly for someone that doesn't always have the time to make it to the gym. It also comes with one-year free app access, which provides at-home or on-the-road workouts from top trainers that you can personalize!" — Curtis Williams, sports performance coach and former NFL athlete
