When we exercise, the body releases 'feel good' chemicals like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine that help to boost our mood. While at the same time, it can suppress the hormones that cause stress and anxiety. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.
Sport for Valentine's Day? Absolutely! When we exercise, the body releases 'feel good' chemicals like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine that help to boost our mood. While at the same time, it can suppress the hormones that cause stress and anxiety. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.
So, this Valentine's Day give your one-and-only, your swolemate, or your galentine, the gift of sport. We've rounded up our favourite gift ideas, from things you can do as two (hello tennis and a massage) to gifts that are meant just for you. Shall we?
Yoga and Pilates
These days the word "sport" extends far beyond the world of football, basketball and encompasses all kinds of activities from Yoga to Pilates, dance and much more. If you're moving and you're having fun - it counts.
So this V-Day think outside-the-box of chocolates and seek out stylish Yoga to Pilates apparel, mats and accessories from BAHE. There are also blocks, balls, straps, and loads more that are bound to still hit the sweet spot.
Tennis Anyone?
Tennis fever is still spreading around the country all thanks to the Australian Open. So ace this year's Valentine's Day gift with ideas like the Ell & Voo Women's Tennis Dress and adidas Men's Layering Tee or classic tennis whites from Ellesse, Lorna Jane, Nike, and more.
There are also tennis shoes and AO branded balls, and if you're looking to buy your tennis lover a racquet, this racquet buying guide will be a big help.
Massage Guns and Recovery Tools
Nothing says romance more than a massage. So if your Valentine experiences regular aches and pains then a massage gun or recovery tool is a thoughtful, useful and romantic gift idea that is bound to show you care.
The Theragun Mini 2.0 Percussion Gun is compact, fits in the palm of your hand and comes with three interchangeable attachments, three speed settings (bye knots and tension) and is bluetooth® compatible with the Therabody app.
Theragun PRO Percussion Gun (for when you want to pull out the big guns) has six attachments, five speed settings and a rotating arm to access those hard to reach areas with ease - you can thank us later.
Percussive therapy really is a great way to relax and unwind this Valentine's Day while providing a host of benefits.
Backyard Fun
Sport means different things to different people. So if your significant other is the kind of person who loves nothing more than hanging out in thebackyardwith the kids, there are lots of ways to have fun and show you care, like gifting them with Outdoor Skittles, Backyard Kubb, or a Quoits Set.

Sports Watches
For a gift that adds style, tracks their health and fitness, and may keep them on time for your next date, the latest sports watches are a must.
The Garmin Venu 3 Smartwatch for example, is a feature-packed fitness watch with a built-in GPS, a dedicated workout mode for a huge range of sports and the capacity to track a bevy of core and advanced metrics, including energy monitoring, breathing, hydration, sleep, stress, as well as heart rate tracking to help you stay on top of your health.
Footwear
If you're looking for the perfect gift for the sneaker-loving someone, look no further than the latest footwear options which are sure to put a spring in their step. Choose from Nike Air Max 270 and Nike Metcon 9 in a wide range of colours (even pinks and reds) or the Reebok Nano X4 which is one of the lightest and most breathable Nano iterations yet. Not only are these kicks training approved, but they're stylish enough to take you from the gym to your post-dinner walk.
This Valentine's Day, give the gift of sport, and everybody wins.
