    Fest der Sinne (Weihnachten)

    Quellen
    This is the heading in a poster advertising special massage deals over Christmas at a spa:

    Zum Fest der Sinne - Beauty und Wellness schenken.

    I don't think that anything using "feast" or "festival" for/of the senses works here. So far I've just put "This festive season give the gift...." but I want to bring in the idea of senses (massage). Any ideas?

    No "fest" in English. Do you mean festival or festivity? That would be overdoing it.

    #2 I think he(she) meant to write 'feast'.

    fest: a gathering, event, or show having a specified focus "a music fest" — often used in combination "a gabfest"

    Synonyms: carnival, celebration, festival, festivity, fete (or fête), fiesta, gala, jubilee

    fest: a meeting or event at which the emphasis is on a particular activity ⇒ "a fashion fest"

    "And now, even that annual nostalgia fest is threatened with extinction." - Globe and Mail (2003)

    "A fest for the senses" ?

    I'd avoid "sensual"; I believe there may be a AE/BE usage difference, but sensual tends to have sexual/strongly physical connotations.

    Oxford online: "of or arousing gratification of the senses and physical, especially sexual, pleasure"

    warum nicht:

    feast your senses ?

    Als Propagandaspruch?

    Don't quite see what you have against feast of the senses. On the Internet it gets a million Web pages (in quotation marks).

    For the feast of the senses give the gift of beauty and wellness.

    nor do I; both feast of the senses and fest of the senses work IMO

    Entschuldigung, war aber nur eine Frage.

    Soga mit Frack an? Zeichen.

    Mike, I'm not convinced about fest. It seems to be a lot less common.

    Ein guter Vorschlag (aber eher a celebration of the senses, wenn schon).

    Uh, no. The phrase refers to a festivity that imparts pleasurable experiences on the senses. It is therefore a celebration (or festivity) for the senses, not a celebration of the senses.

    H., I know what you mean, but a celebration for the senses doesn't make much better sense!

    Probably feast for the senses is best, especially since it's closer to the original.

    I would agree with that.
