Papier's "Gratitude Attitude" Journal

Studies have proven that journaling greatly benefits your overall health and well-being in more ways than one. Expressing your thoughts by writing them out a few times each month can help reduce blood pressure. Journaling can also help you self-reflect, keep your memory sharp, and so much more.

There are many styles to choose from, such as this "Gratitude Attitude" Journal by Papier that's so pretty in pink. Keeping track of what you are most grateful for is a fun new pastime anyone can start at any time in life. In this journal, there's room for your loved one to note their feelings, thoughts, and lessons learned for each and every month. There are motivational mottos and affirmations, in addition to fun activities that will help your Valentine practice gratitude on a daily basis.

Pura Smart Device

If you like the idea of gifting aromatherapy, a fragrance diffuser is such a lovely choice. Basically, diffusers release essential oils into a space, providing a calm and soothing environment. Your Valentine can enjoy better sleep, less stress, and an improved living area with Pura's smart fragrance diffuser. Choose whatever fragrance (like midnight tulip or sugar blossom) you'd like to personalize this Valentine's Day gift even more. The coolest part is, the scent intensity can be controlled from an app on your Valentine's phone, and they can even set a custom schedule for it. Whether your special someone sets it up by their cozy bed or in the bathroom to enjoy while soaking in a bubble bath, the theme for this gift is certainly "relax and enjoy."

myAir Nutrition Bars

These nutrition bars are quite possibly the coolest nutrition bars of all time, and your Valentine will certainly agree. They're tailored specifically to the user and their own personal stress profile—there's even a fun, science-backed questionnaire to complete so the company can determine the user's needs, aka "your two main stress effects." For example, "The Sweet Dream" (which will help you get a great night's sleep) and "The Daytime Zen Master" (which will make you feel calm and enhance your cognitive function) are just a sampling of the brand's bars.

The healthy snacks are gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and they have no added sugar. Each bar contains less than 100 calories, and they're quite tasty. Research shows that myAir bars improve anxiety, reduce stress, and promote better sleep.

(Note that prices vary; a one-time purchase of a box of 20 bars is $50, and a monthly subscription is $40.)

A Sunbasket Subscription

If your Valentine loves whipping up healthy meals, but they don't necessarily have the extra time to grocery shop every week, they'll certainly appreciate a subscription to Sunbasket. They will have so much fun getting creative in the kitchen with organic and fresh produce that will conveniently be delivered right to their doorstep. And according to John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research, individuals who prepare their own meals are eating more nutritiously with less calories than people who don't cook frequently.

You can customize your Valentine's meal delivery to fit their lifestyle, too. If they are vegetarian, paleo, gluten-free, would like to eat lean and clean, and more, there are plenty of tasty choices to choose from. This meal delivery company's dietitian-approved, healthy recipes will give your special someone all the heart eyes. All you have to do is select how many dinners per week you'd like to gift your Valentine. (For example, 2 Meal Kits for 2 people—a total of 4 servings—comes out to $15 per serving.)

LSKD's Overtime Oversized Sweater

If your Valentine loves the cozy life—and they essentially live in loungewear on the reg—then consider gifting them something they'll really look forward to putting on, like this oversized sweater. LSKD is all about chasing the vibe, and the brand's goal is to inspire others to chase it, too. Your special someone can pair this sweet sweater with their favorite workout leggings, biker shorts, or sweatpants. And the best part is, they'll feel good whether they're hitting up the gym, working from home, or cuddling up on the couch with a juicy read.

Hatch Restore

Does your Valentine always complain about how harsh their alarm is in the morning? It's all too relatable, and this clock features a really cool "sunrise alarm" that gradually lights up so your loved one can wake up peacefully rather than frantically. And it's not just your typical alarm clock—this smart sleep assistant is also a sound machine, meditation app, and smart light.

Acid League's Living Tonics

These tasty tonics give your Valentine's daily apple cider vinegar shot an update they'll fall head over heels for. All of Acid League's tonics are "alive," which means every bottle features living vinegar mother, making them chock-full of health benefits. By gifting your Valentine a set of living tonics, they can expect "apple cider vinegar that tastes as good as it makes you feel." If you choose the Coffee Chaga Maple Set, your loved one will reap the benefits of chaga mushrooms—they are known to lessen inflammation and ward off harmful bacteria. However, you can opt for Vanilla Mānuka Spice or Passion Fruit Oolong … or gift your SO all three!

(Note that a one-time purchase of 3 living tonics is $60, and a monthly subscription is $51 per month.)

(Because let's be honest: Indulging in healthy treats is definitely a form of self-care.)
