On 14 February 2026 it is the day of love again, which brings up the annual question: how do I surprise my sweetheart? Berlin offers far more than the obligatory bunch of roses. At the Bonvivant in Schöneberg, the "Brunchen & Kunst" format combines your own action painting with a brunch at star level, at Inanna Wellness in Mitte you can give the gift of high-quality relaxation, and at a couples shoot with Helmut Biess honest portraits full of closeness are created. If you like it sweet, reach for the chocolates from Sawade, which have been made in Berlin since 1880. From the creative painting event to the dance course to the elegant bouquet from Blumen-Koch, there is something for every love. Which of these gifts will make your loved one beam on 14 February?

Flowers and chocolates are lovely, but for Valentine's Day I wanted to find more than the obvious. So I searched Berlin for gifts that really make an impression, from a shared action painting to a couples shoot. Here are my ten ideas for everyone who wants to surprise their sweetheart on 14 February.
At Bonvivant in Berlin-Schöneberg, the first Sunday of every month becomes an extraordinary experience: with the 'Brunch & Art' format, you and your companion can create your own action painting. Afterwards, a delicious Michelin-level brunch awaits.
If you want to give the gift of high-quality relaxation for Valentine's Day, a wellness voucher at Inanna Wellness in Berlin Mitte is an excellent choice. The award-winning spa offers exclusive massages and pampering treatments such as Candela® Microneedling, Sculptural Face Lifting™, or Alma® Laser Hair Removal.
In a couple's photoshoot with Helmut Biess, ten digital pictures are taken in one hour with a professional photographer - creating honest portraits full of intimacy and atmosphere. A simple and personal gift that brings couples together and creates memories for eternity.
