The time has come.
The happy couples in love, walking around with flowers and big balloons in the shape of hearts.
The fancy dinners, bottles of red wine, and reservations made three weeks in advance.
The parties for single people, who get together just to make sure that other single people are happy the way they are.
The time has come: It's almost Valentine's Day!
And I know you are worried about where to bring your date, what to buy them as a gift, and how to dress. Should you do something crazy, such as getting an appointment for couple's tattoos, or you better choose the less risky, but classic combo of dinner + a movie?
I'm not going to lie: I can't help you with about 80% of the aforementioned romantic issues. However, I can TOTALLY give you kick-butt ideas about gifts you can buy for your beau on this special day.
Is your S.O. a gym addict? Do they like eating healthy? Are they interested in nutrition? Then this, my dear, is for you.
1. Nutribullet
Perfect for smoothies, soups, shakes, and juices.
Bonus: I love smoothie bowls. That's basically putting all your favorite ingredients for smoothie (papaya, banana, pineapple, berries, almond milk, vanilla, matcha) in your NutriBullet, pouring this health bomb into a bowl, and topping it with granola, nuts, shredded coconut and more fruits. Mm-mm!
2. FitBit
A great way to track your steps, distance, calorie consumption, heart rate, and sleep. It also has 14 training modes and GPS service. Waterproof and super cool-looking.
3. The "Healthy Powder Kit"
Matcha + Maca + Ground Ginger + Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder + Shaker = Best Protein Shake EVER!
Put all these goodies in a cute basket or a small gym bag, and you will remain in history as the best beau ever.
4. Gift Card for a Sports Store
Adidas : minimum of $25
Nike: minimum of $25
Lululemon Athletica: minimum of $50

7. Kettlebells 2.0
Kettlebells are super useful for building your upper and lower body strength. However, the trivial round shape and bright colors of the usual kettlebells are so cliche. Surprise your beau with something less traditional:
