On the most romantic day of the year, treat the athlete you love most with one of these 14 Valentine’s Day gifts.
With all the time, sweat, and energy they spend training, every athlete deserves to be treated and feel special every once in a while. And Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show the athlete in your life how much you love them.
Here are 14 of the best Valentine’s Day gifts that will tell the athlete you love most just how special they are to you.
1. The Hypervolt Go
One of the best Valentine’s Day gifts for an athlete is the gift of recovery. The Hypervolt Go is a portable percussion massage that comes in a perfectly compact form so athletes can recover from anywhere. Trust us, percussion massages will be their new favorite way to recover their muscles from a tough workout, as these can promote the release of lactic acid, help in muscle recovery, increase the range of motion, and improve circulation.
Get the Hypervolt from Dan’s Bike Shop.
2. A Day at the Spa
If you want to level up the recovery-related Valentine’s Day gifts, treat the athlete you love to a day at the spa. Everyone deserves a day to be treated, from head to toe. Plus, with a couples massage, it’ll definitely be a win-win for both of you.
Book a couple of treatments at The Spa Wellness.
3. A New Yoga Mat
If you’re in a relationship with a dedicated athlete, chances are, they could really use a brand-new, not-battered yoga mat for their at-home workouts, stretch routines, or recovery days. After all, we all know that one athlete whose yoga mat is just one workout away from crumbling into dust.
Grab a new mat in their favorite color from Certified Calm.
4. A Blender
One of the best Valentine’s Day gifts you could give a super-busy athlete is a brand-new blender, especially for those who are obsessed with making their own fruit shakes, smoothie bowls, or protein drinks. (And if they aren’t obsessed yet, this gift will show them the light). The Tefal Fruit Sensation will make their meals that much easier — just throw in your favorite fruits and you’re out the door!

6. A New Look
Whether you want to get them a comfortable or active look, a brand-new outfit is one of those Valentine’s Day gifts that is sure to be included in the heavy rotation section of their closet.
