Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be the same every year. That’s why this year we went in search of the best Valentine’s Day gifts.
From classic chocolates and bouquets of flowers to more sensual experiences , all you need to do is make the most of it. So take a look at our ideas and surprise your better half with a spectacular gift, or better still , a moment to remember!
A pastel de nata with a taste of love
Any local and/or visitor is crazy about a delicious pastel de nata. But how about trying a new flavor that appeals to the more romantic side in everyone?
For a limited period, from February 6 to 28, Fábrica da Nata has decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the launch of Pastel de Nata de Morango, a way to win over the palates (and hearts) of all those in love.
Although it’s a ‘simple’ idea, it’s delicious. So if you want to give something to your better half, this could always be a (delicious) option to consider. Best of all, it only costs €1.50.
Sweeten your relationship with Ferrero Rocher
Some people talk about ‘spicing up’ a relationship, but remember that it’s also important to ‘sweeten’ it. In this context, chocolate is always an infallible choice, especially if it’s a special edition from Ferrero Rocher.
For a limited time, there are three options available:
- Ferrero Rocher box with 8 pieces (€5.99)
- Mon Chérie box with 14 chocolates (€6.99)
- Rafaello box with 14 chocolates (€6.99)
Giving flowers
Along with chocolates, another ‘classic’ that never compromises is a spectacular bouquet of flowers. From the simplest to the most sophisticated, they are synonymous with love, affection and admiration; and they give new life to home decor.
In Lisbon, there are several florists where you can order the perfect bouquet. In this article you can take a look at all of our suggestions, but we’d like to give you a sneak preview of some of them:
-
Fleur de Paris

-
Pimenta Florist, among many others.
A ‘caliente’ experience
We’ve already talked about the sweeter part, but it’s important not to stop feeding the ‘fire of passion’. In this sense, you can live a ‘caliente’ experience for two.
In Lisbon, there is no shortage of options for all tastes, so here are just a few tips:
- Evening at The Lingerie Restaurant Lisboa
- Special Valentine’s Dinner at Magic Moments Restaurant & Dance Club
A record from one of the best stores in the world
Music is a real passion for many music lovers and, fortunately, it seems that the ‘old fashion’ of vinyl records is here to stay.
So if you have a player at home, or your soul mate can’t live without music, you can always stop by Flur Discos.
Located in the Arroios Market, this store was recently considered one of the best in the world by the Financial Times.
There, you’ll find 5,000 items on display, 20% of which are second-hand records. So what are you waiting for?
Romantic dinner for two
A dinner in a romantic restaurant is a must on your Valentine’s Day gift list . After all, take advantage of this special occasion and surprise your better half in a different and exclusive spot.
For example, the Hyatt Regency Lisboa, in the heart of Lisbon on the banks of the Tagus, is promoting an unforgettable meal on February 14, starting at 19:00. However, this is just one of many options available to you. And whatever your budget, remember that “a gesture is worth a thousand words”!

A ticket to a festival
We’ve already talked about music, but after records, how about going even further and offering a ticket to a festival?
In Portugal, there are excellent options for literally every taste. So all you have to do is pay attention to your bestie’s preferences and bring a smile to their face.
For example, in June, you can take the opportunity to get away to Porto and attend Primavera Sound. Or, if you prefer to stay put, don’t forget MEO KALORAMA!
