Valentine’s Day gifts that show care and love come in many forms – everything from spa experiences and heartfelt messages to romantic dinners. But this year, why not give something that lasts far longer than chocolate and roses? Show genuine care by giving a health check to someone you love.
Give a health check as a Valentine’s Day gift
Health is something many people worry about, and especially at the beginning of the year we see a clear increase in stress, fatigue and the feeling of a weakened immune system. Behind symptoms such as low energy, feeling cold, heart palpitations or weight changes, there may be anything from nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances to elevated blood lipids or thyroid dysfunction.
What could be more thoughtful than giving a gift that not only shows love, but also provides knowledge and peace of mind? With a health check, the person you care about gets the opportunity to understand what their body is signalling – and to take control of their health before problems develop into disease.
What can a Comprehensive Health Check show?
Hälsokontroll Stor is our most comprehensive health check and provides a broad and in-depth overview of the body’s most important functions. It is suitable both for those who want to prevent future health issues and for those experiencing vague symptoms without a clear explanation.
The health check can, among other things, provide insights into:
- Heart and cardiovascular health – cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides that can reveal an increased risk of cardiovascular disease at an early stage.
- Blood sugar and diabetes risk – fasting glucose and HbA1c to identify insulin resistance or early signs of diabetes.
- Liver and kidney function – key markers that show how well the body’s detoxification and filtration systems are working.
- Thyroid function and metabolism – values that may explain fatigue, weight changes, feeling cold or internal stress.
- Inflammation and immune system – for example CRP and blood count, which can provide clues in cases of long-term fatigue or recurrent infections.
- Nutritional status – iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D, where deficiencies often affect energy levels, mood and stamina.
- Electrolyte and mineral balance – essential for muscles, the nervous system and heart rhythm.
After the blood test, the recipient of your gift receives a clear summary of their results together with a medical assessment and personalised recommendations from one of our doctors. This makes the health check more than just numbers – it becomes a concrete foundation for change.
Give a health check as a gift – here’s how it works
You simply complete your purchase and receive a personal code sent to you via email and SMS. You can either use the code to create a gift card – preferably with a healthy little rhyme – or forward the email directly to the recipient.
The recipient then activates their health check easily by creating their own referral in our test results service. All necessary instructions are included in the email, step by step.
If any questions come up, our knowledgeable customer service team is always available via both email and phone.
Still not convinced? Here are 3 reasons why a health check is the best gift for someone you care about
- Shows genuine care
Giving a health check shows that you truly care. It is a gift that says: I want you to feel well, now and in the future. - Provides insight and motivation
With clear test results and professional medical feedback, it becomes easier to understand the body and what it needs. For many, this becomes the starting point for healthier habits, more energy and improved quality of life. - Prevents rather than repairs
Many diseases develop slowly and without obvious symptoms. A comprehensive health check can detect abnormalities at an early stage – when it is still possible to influence outcomes through lifestyle changes and follow-up.
A health check is not just a Valentine’s Day gift – it is an investment in someone you love. A gift that can make a real difference long after the day has passed.

5 popular health test packages you can also give as a gift
If you are looking for a thoughtful health gift at a lower price point, there are several popular health test packages to choose from. Here are some examples of tests that focus on specific areas of health:
- Hjärt- och kärltest – a test that provides valuable insight into heart and blood vessel health. It analyses several important blood markers such as blood lipids, blood sugar and blood count to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease and help take control of heart health.
- Njurkollen – a detailed analysis of kidney function and electrolyte balance that shows how well the body’s filtration system is working. The test provides an overall picture of kidney health and helps detect potential abnormalities early.
- Sköldkörtelprov – tests hormone levels such as TSH, T3 and T4 to assess whether the thyroid is functioning properly. This test can help explain symptoms such as low energy, weight changes or mood swings.
- Järnbristtest – an important test to detect iron and ferritin deficiency, which often affects energy levels, fatigue and overall wellbeing. Detecting iron deficiency early can help restore energy and improve health.
- Leverkollen – a test that provides insight into liver health by analysing relevant liver markers in the blood. The liver plays a central role in metabolism and detoxification, and a liver test can help identify imbalances at an early stage.
