Piglet In Bed Linen Bedding
Forgive us if we’re being forward, but a new set of bedsheets is sure to win hearts this Valentine's Day. And if your runner is the sort to carefully curate their kit, then they'll like this bedding, as each item is available separately and in countless colourways, so you find the perfect combo for your interior scheme.
It’s not just a pretty set either — our testers found it light and airy, meaning it nailed our breathability requirements too. The only downside? They may make it hard to resist the snooze button.
Every runner loves a massage. Starting at only £38, Virgin Experiences offer a wide range of massages you can gift to your loved one. If your partner prefers a spa experience over a DIY one, this could be the perfect gift for them. Alternatively, opt for a couple's massage to add even more Valentine's flair (and treat yourself to that deep tissue treatment you've been craving at the same time).
For a simple gift that shows you care, why not draw your runner a nice Epsom salt bath and light this personal runner's high candle? Made from 100% natural soy wax blend, it will burn for between 50-60 hours and there's five different scents to choose from. You can even personalise the label if you want to.

Okay, so this might not be the down-on-one-knee kind of ring they're after, but this stylish fitness tracker is a lightweight and discreet way for your runner to track their fitness and sleep.
RW staffer Kate Carter has worn her Oura Ring for over a year and declares it her favourite wear-all-the-time device.
'While running watches might give you more detailed feedback for runs, the Oura is hands down the best lifestyle tracker I've ever tried,' she said. 'The period prediction is almost unnervingly accurate, the sleep tracking is helpful without being intrusive, and the advice on the app is useful and intuitive without ever veering into prescriptiveness.'
