  • If you ask me how my Monday is going, I’ll tell you I’m still smiling over a random stranger on the internet who got the cutest birthday gift from her partner—a curated photobook spanning four years, complete with QR codes to her favourite songs. The real “God, when?” right?

    Naturally, I wanted to find out what other viral-worthy gifts people have received from their loved ones. Let’s just say I wasn’t disappointed.

    Cooking is my love language. If I care about you, you’ll taste my food at least once a month. But when I lost my mum in 2019, something changed. I enjoyed cooking with her, and the kitchen was our bonding spot. After she died, I stopped cooking as much, and that’s when my friends stepped in. I never imagined they knew how to cook, but for six months, they showed up with a week’s worth of home-cooked meals. They even volunteered to cook in my house on several occasions. It was the best gift I could’ve received during that period. Though I lowkey blame them for the extra weight I gained while grieving.

    On my 30th birthday, my husband went all out. He hired a chef to do “breakfast in bed” for me. I woke up to the sound of a trumpet and rose petals led me to the dining room, where an IG-worthy breakfast spread awaited—eggs, pancakes, strawberries, chocolates, and toast. When I thought my husband had worked himself off all morning for my sake, a chef stepped out of the kitchen with a cute birthday cake. We ate together while a paranra guy played soft music in the background, and the best part? My husband kept our phones locked away, saying we’d describe the moment to our loved ones with words. It’s been two years, and while I’ve pulled my surprises for him, nothing has topped that day.

    I once dated a guy who sold perfumes, so I was always spoiled with nice scents. But the most thoughtful gift was when he tried to recreate my mum’s scent after she passed away. I’d often break down when I caught a whiff of her scent in public, saying, “That person smells like my mum,” but never asked what they were wearing. He asked if I had anything of hers with her scent still on it. I gave him a scarf and one of her clothes, and three weeks later, he gave me a bottle of perfume named after her. It wasn’t an exact match, but the effort and intention melted my heart.

    Dewunmi*

    People don’t understand that there’s an art to giving gifts. Before I met my partner, I was terrible at it—expensive gadgets, fashion accessories, and money were my go-to. Everything changed after we got together. She curates experiences and gives gifts that leave lasting impressions. I’m learning from her. My favourite gift is a personalised diary she gave me some years back. Each page had handwritten notes—things we’d said to each other, quotes from our favourite movies and songs. The last page also featured a collage of our most intimate photos. No matter what kind of day I’m having, I always leave that diary with a smile.

    Busola*

    I had a favourite coffee mug that my husband gave me when “glow in the dark” was trending. Everyone had them on shirts, key holders, and accessories. But instead of writing “I love you” or my name, he wrote a sweet note on the mug. I kept it on my reading table because I loved how it lit up in the dark. One day, it slipped and broke while I was cleaning the house. I was in a foul mood for the rest of that week.

    Kenny*

    In uni, I dated a wannabe singer, and the most romantic gift I’ve ever gotten came from him. While other girls got flowers, chocolates, and teddy bears for Valentine’s Day, he gave me an MP3 player with six R&B song covers, including my name in his version of the songs. He also recorded a poem with my name in it. It was so sweet, and I always took the device everywhere. Although, I never allowed anyone else to listen to it. Even after the MP3 player stopped working, I kept it for years.

  • The topic of how young Nigerians navigate romantic relationships with their earnings is a minefield of hot takes. In Love Currency, we get into what relationships across income brackets look like in different cities.

    How long have you been in your relationship?

    Four years. It’s my longest relationship, and that’s how I know he’s the one. I used to get bored easily in relationships.

    So, how did y’all meet?

    We met at NYSC orientation camp. He was in the process of “toasting” me when the lockdown happened, and the government sent all the corps members home. We’d already exchanged numbers, so we started talking every day about mundane things. Stuff like me complaining about being unable to go out to braid my hair or about how tired I was of eating beans —the only foodstuff I had at home. 

    We officially began dating when movement restrictions started to ease up gradually. I think I even fell in love before that. My boyfriend’s a nurse, and one of the perks of his job was free movement despite the curfew. The man actually used that perk to bring me rice and some other food items even before I agreed to date him because I complained about beans. Why won’t I say yes to that kind of intentionality?

    Haha, love it. Were you also working during this period?

    My PPA was a secondary school, but physical classes were suspended, and the management didn’t really involve corps members in the online classes they tried to hold. So, I mostly slept at home. My only income was the ₦33k NYSC stipend.

    Was your boyfriend’s financial situation any better?

    Oh yes. He made about ₦100k from the hospital, apart from the ₦33k NYSC stipend. He also received a hazard allowance because of the pandemic, but I can’t remember how much it was.

    He was my safety net during service year. I couldn’t really call home for money because my parents had my siblings to take care of, and I wanted to be independent. My boyfriend gave me at least ₦20k monthly, paid for dates, and got me random teddy bears and chocolate gifts for being a correct babe. 

    We moved in together halfway into service year. By then, we’d been dating for about four months. The love was “sweeting” us, and we wanted to spend every waking moment together. I only stayed eight months before moving out.

    What happened?

    We started having friction. I noticed he wasn’t putting as much effort into “dating” me as he did before. There were no more random gifts and dates. He even stopped the girlfriend allowance because he reasoned that he gave me ₦10k weekly to cook at home.

    I complained about the changes, which led to some disagreements. I felt like I was just giving sex and doing chores like a housewife while he was outside doing his thing. We eventually decided to live apart and work on our relationship more before cohabiting again. 

    So, I moved out in 2021 after NYSC, and he gave me ₦220k to support the ₦300k I needed for rent and the extra agent charges. I also got a job as a personal assistant at a recruiting firm and began earning ₦80k/month that same year. 

    Did that change how money worked in your relationship?

    It did. My boyfriend had provided for me for so long, and it was only fair for me to start reciprocating. He still sent me money and bought me stuff, but I began making more of an effort. I bought him a pair of ₦50k shoes for his birthday in 2021. I had to actively plan for that gift because my salary usually only covered transportation and feeding. But as a lover girl, I had to step up for my boo. 

    I also started sending him data monthly and cooking for him. He didn’t really ask for those; I just noticed he was always busy at work and constantly forgot to renew his data subscription. Plus, he hardly ate good food whenever I wasn’t around. So, I started packing some food for him whenever I cooked and moved to just going to his house during the weekend to cook like three soups and some rice dishes. Between 2021 – 2022, ₦15k – ₦20k could cook three soups. Now, I have to budget ₦30k – ₦40k.

    What are both of your finances like these days?

    At ₦300k/month, my boyfriend still earns more than me. I moved to the HR department of my firm in 2023, and my salary is now ₦120k.

    My boyfriend gives me ₦60k monthly and pays 40% of my rent. We take turns paying for dates. It’s not like we keep track of who paid today; we just subconsciously take each other out. I take care of his feeding and data and love to spoil him with gifts. Now that I think about it, I usually spend most of my girlfriend allowance on him. I’m a chronic online shopper, and I always see something that would look good on my man, so I buy. 

    I wiped my savings for his birthday this year to get him a ₦136k Paco Rabanne perfume and a ₦30k smartwatch. Yes, I’m a mumu for love. Before anyone drags me, he also buys me stuff for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s days.

    LOL. What kind of money conversations do you have with your boyfriend?

    A recurring topic is my money habits. I’m the more lau lau spender—my man is very big on budgeting, and I spend money as the spirit leads. He’s generous to me, but he plans his giving. He budgets a specific amount per month for relationship things. He wants me to have a similar approach, but I haven’t been able to hack accountability. When I complain about being broke, and he asks what I spent money on, I tend to be a little defensive because “Is it not you I’m spending my money on?”. So, he lets it be.

    But we’re working on a fix. We plan to get married next year, and he suggested a joint account so we can both keep track of our finances. We’ll still have separate accounts, but we’ll send at least 60% of our income to the joint account and then use that money to handle joint home expenses. I believe that’ll also help curb my erratic spending habits.

    Has money ever caused conflict between you two?

    Oh yes. Apart from his concerns with my spending, we’ve once disagreed about him giving people money without telling me. He argued he didn’t have to tell me what he did with his money, but I didn’t think that was right. We’re in a committed relationship, and I should know who you’re helping. Before you start giving one babe money out of the goodness of your heart, and she wants to appreciate in kind. 

    It was a big issue because he thought I was unreasonable, but we discussed it, and he saw my point. Now, he tells me whenever he sends anyone money. I just like being in the know.

    You mentioned marriage by next year. How will the finances for that work?

    It’s my man o. He’s the one marrying me. I can support him by paying for my clothes and maybe buying his suit, but he’ll handle the rest.

    Do you have a financial safety net for that?

    Not really. Because of the birthday expenses, I have about ₦50k in my savings account. Before now, my savings were based on whatever I had left after spending. But my boyfriend is on my neck to save at least ₦30k monthly, so I’ll start doing that this month.

    What’s your ideal financial future as a couple?

    To have bastard money, and a major step for that to happen is japa. My man has recently begun seriously considering japa options, especially because he works in healthcare and has the potential to earn more. I hope that works out within the next two years. I plan to support by upskilling in HR. I’m not a certified HR professional yet, and that’s my next goal. I feel like that’ll increase my chances of getting jobs abroad. 

    In summary, an ideal future for us would be marriage, working at good jobs outside the country and earning enough money to afford a good life for our future two children. It wouldn’t hurt if we owned two homes (one in Nigeria and one abroad) too.

  • I don’t know who concluded that all women do is backbite and gossip about each other, but genuine female friendships can be the sweetest relationships ever. I asked seven Nigerian women to share the most thoughtful gift they’ve received from a female friend, and their responses were so sweet.

    Image designed by Freepik

    Amara, 27

    I launched my online business in 2023, and my best friend made sure she was the first person to patronise me. She bought something worth ₦50k and paid ₦100k for it. I cried so much. She was planning for her mother’s burial at the time and shouldn’t have been in a position to even offer emotional support, talk more of financial. But that’s just who she is. I’m so grateful for her.

    Tobi, 26

    I’d only known my closest friend for six months when I got married in 2022. But this babe went all out for me. She wasn’t the chief bridesmaid (my sister was), but she organised a surprise bridal shower, came to stay with me three days prior so I wouldn’t stress, got me a blender as a wedding gift and even distributed souvenirs at the wedding reception. We’ve been friends for two years now, and she’s still the same caring human being. We’ve even passed friendship. We’re sisters now.

    Jola*, 30

    I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for two years, and my childhood friend never hid her disapproval. But she always welcomed me with open arms when I’d come crying about yet another thing my ex had said or done to me. Sometimes, he’d block me everywhere for a couple of days then come back to beg me.

    When the last incident left me crying for three days, my friend paid for a therapist appointment and took me there without telling me where we were going. I got back with my ex a few days later, but I saw the therapist for about two months, and the appointments eventually gave me the morale to end the relationship for good. I have my friend to thank for that.

    Debbie, 24

    I was travelling from Abuja to Lagos in 2022, but our bus kept having issues on the road. It stopped again around Ogun state at 1 a.m., and the driver was suggesting we’d have to sleep there so he could call a mechanic in the morning. I’d been keeping my friend (who lived in Ogun) updated about my movement, and when she heard that, she convinced her dad to come pick me up. When I got to her house, she had a meal waiting for me. It wasn’t exactly a material gift, but she probably saved my life that night. What gift tops that?

    Detola*, 25

    My two closest friends and I have a tradition of surprising each other for our birthdays. When one person is celebrating, the other two gather money and plan the surprise. 

    I was really broke in 2023 and couldn’t contribute to one of the birthdays. My other friend took it up without issues. She got a bracelet and had it engraved to say it came from both of us. Our other friend never even knew what happened.

    Joy, 20

    When I broke my juicer, I nearly lost my mind because juicing was the one thing I constantly did for my late dad when he was ill. I told my friend how my family thought I was overreacting over such a small thing, and she didn’t say much. Only for her to show up at my house the next week with a new juicer. I cried.

    Chisom, 35

    Pregnancy and childbirth did a number on me. I had my baby in 2017 and was so depressed after. To make it worse, I started losing my hair. It felt like the whole world was against me. I felt ugly, bloated and tired, and I told my best friend about it. The next time she came to see me, she brought a pair of scissors and a brand-new wig. She hyped me up to cut off my whole hair and start afresh. In her words, I had nothing to lose. I could own my bald head or wear a wig and look good either way because I had the face to pull it off. I’m not sure why, but it greatly improved my confidence. I felt seen.

    [ad]

  • They lied; it’s not the thought that count. Because the only thing you can think about giving your coworkers is a knock on the head or amnesia so they can stop giving you work. 

    But in the spirit of spreading love (and because you were forced to participate in secret Santa), here are some gifts you can get without breaking the bank: 

    Wine

    When in doubt, the answer is wine. If you’re unsure of what your coworker likes, just play it safe and get them wine. You can spend as low as ₦2,500 on Baron Romero and as much as ₦4k on Agor. Even if they don’t drink it because they’re too bougie for cheap wine, they’ll serve it to their guests.

    A picture of yourself 

    Printed, not soft copy. Give them something to remember you with for the long two weeks apart. This is only suitable for work besties and work spouses. We’re not sure how much they charge for hardcopy photographs anymore, but we suggest you hold atleast ₦1500. 

    Scented candles

    Since everyone and their family members have become minimalists, they’d definitely appreciate a scented candle. You could get one for ₦5k – 7k and invest ₦1k into packaging it nicely.

    A partner 

    What gift could be greater than finding love before the year runs out? And if they already have a partner, add an extra one. There’s nothing like too much love.

    Perfume

    First off, getting someone perfume doesn’t imply they have body odour. Same way you don’t gift candles because you think someone’s house smells, right? You’d be surprised how affordable ouds are depending on size and where you’re getting it from. So you could either go to the market or buy on Instagram. Just make sure to hold ₦5k – 9k for quality fragrances.

    Your body

    Because it’s free, and it’s a gift you’d both enjoy. Just send them the address of the genital meet and greet. Remember, it’s about them, so you’ll have to do most of the work. 

    A journal 

    The perfect place for them to write down all the 2023 resolutions they’ll ignore after January. You should be able to get a nice one for ₦4k, maybe ₦5k if you prefer to shop online.

    A “cute” note

    If you’re broke and can’t be bothered to spend money on a coworker you loathe, you can just gift them a letter — the content is entirely up to you. You could be the bigger person and pray for them, or just be petty and attach your account balance with a list of things you’d rather spend your money on.

  • You work hard, and you deserve nice things. That’s why we’ve come up with this list of things that we think will make every worker happy on worker’s day this year. Let’s go over the options we came up with.

    1. Peace of mind

    Because capitalism is stressful and you need all the peace you can get.

    2. A playlist

    It’s inexpensive and super relaxing. Put together a playlist made up of lo-fi music, rain sounds, and Celine Dion classics. You can’t go wrong with Celine Dion.

    3. Money

    Plenty of money. Especially if it’s in a foreign currency.

    4. Their village people’s address

    Maybe 2022 can be the year we all band together to fight each other’s village people. There’s no better gift than sourcing for all the village people’s addresses of your loved ones. It shows that you care about their well-being.

    5. A pet

    Because a small animal that loves and adores you is one of the best things you can own.

    6. Crypto investments

    Crypto coins like Floki. Yes, market dips can give you high blood pressure, but you’ll be grateful when the benefits start rolling in.

    Here’s why owning Floki is a great idea:

    • It is competing with the top cryptocurrencies in the market.
    • Due to a partnership with CryptoCart, you can purchase items at stores like Amazon, Apple, eBay and lots more using your Floki tokens.

  • Valentine’s Day is once again coming and you’re scrambling for gift ideas for your Nigerian boyfriend. Look no more and stress no further because we have the best gift ideas for your man, depending on your budget.

    1) Wallet

    Wallets are timeless and inexpensive. If your budget is less than ₦5k, then this is the easiest gift for him. You can get him a nice black or brown wallet and can even personalise it by adding a picture of the both of you. That way, whenever he wants to spend his money, he remembers he has a babe and it’s her money. 

    2) Books 

    Your man is a reader? Then you’re lucky. You can get him paperbacks  by his favourite authors. If you want to make it a bit cuter, you can get him one book he likes, one he’s been trying to get and one you think he should read. You may just introduce him to new authors; that’s how you cement your place in his life forever. Don’t forget to buy the bookmarks too! 

    3) Jewelry 

    Jewelry for men isn’t limited to just watches and cufflinks. You can get him rings, bracelets and — if he likes that kind of stuff — earrings. It’ll add a bit of spice to his everyday outfits and every time someone compliments his jewelry he’d say, “My babe bought it for me.” When we too go get babe? 

    4) Shorts, preferably of the ashawo kind 

    The weather is hot. Get him something he can wear around the house or for quick supermarket trips. Shorts are hardly ever a wrong move, and some can be pretty cheap. Consider shorts as gifts that keeps on giving. He’s happy and you get to see him strut around in shorts. 

    5)  Games for his console

    Sure, you hate how much he spends on those games with his friends, but they make him happy. If you have about ₦50k and above, you can buy him at least one game he’s wanted for a while. If you’re a bit broke, you can buy some other in-game collectibles. You may be playing yourself seeing that he’ll spend less time with you because of games, but at least he’s happy showing off what you bought to his gees. 

    6) Pay for his dry cleaning for a month

    This may leave you close to bankruptcy, but you’ll be doing two things for him. Not only will you help him save money, but you’d help him maintain his ironed lifestyle. Nobody will ever understand Nigerian men’s obsession with iron and ironed clothes, but it’s a harmless one so indulge him. 

    7) Fun activities 

    This is one of those gifts that creates everlasting memories in his life. You can give him an experience he can do alone, with his friends, or with you. Options include but are not limited to: pottery, painting, sculpting, paintballing, skydiving, bungee jumping, snorkelling, etc. This is a big money gift, so please gather your coins of the physical and crypto kind. 

    8) Hire him a driver for a day 

    Driving in Lagos can be so stressful. So why not pay for the stress to be taken away from him for a day. A driver for 24 hours seems like a very good deal. At least, he’ll be able to video call you while he’s stuck in traffic, or he may catch up on lost sleep in traffic.

    9) Spa day 

    Life is tough, so why not give him a chance to rest. A manicure and pedicure or a facial will work if you’re not trying to spend too much money, but a full body massage will work wonders. Your man is a baby boy and a spa day will cement that fact. 

    10) Gadgets

    This is another big spend. Spoil your man with  gadgets he’s had on his cart. Headphones, keyboards or even a new laptop or phone. You know how these people like collecting gadgets like infinity stones. Maybe this one you buy for him will be what he needs to open his own gadget review Youtube channel.

    11) Reparation clothes 

    All the hoodies and sweatpants you’ve stolen, the time has come for you to replace them. At least the next time you’re raiding his wardrobe, he’ll convince himself that at least you paid for some of them. Work smarter, not harder. 

    12) Cook 

    You can carry your two legs to the market and whip up a Valentine’s Day meal. If you make him his favourite food and plan his meals for a week, it’s a labour of love and isn’t that what Valentine’s Day is all about? You’ll be sure your man is well fed and taken care of.

  • If you have rich friends, you can relate to the occasional enjoyment. However, it can get really awkward at times. Have you ever received an expensive gift that was hard to maintain or replace? Well, these five Nigerians have, and they told us their struggles with receiving expensive gifts.

    Abike, 24

    In early 2020, a man who liked me bought me perfume. I later Googled the name of the scent and found out the price. It was then I realized that after smelling like a daydream, I’d go back to Nivea and Smart Collection. It’s 2022 now, and there’s still some left. I’ve been using it sparsely ever since because, omooo. Perfume wey predate pandemic till now just because of sapa. One day one day sha.

    Vivian, 28

    My older friend got me my first Bath and Body Works bundle a few years ago, and I loved them; only for me to go looking for them in Nigeria and find the shock of my life. The products were way too expensive for me, but I closed my eyes and bought them anyway. When you start using luxury, it’s hard to go back. I kept buying them for a few more months until I realized that my income was suffering as a result. I had to go back to using Dove until last year when my income shot up and I could afford Bath and Body Works again.

    Uchechi, 23

    My current phone is an iPhone 11 Pro Max, which my three sisters contributed and gifted to me at my graduation. I treat it like an egg because if the screen breaks, I’ll just go back to Infinix. I won’t carry my house rent to replace the screen when I’m not mad. I’m just begging my Chi and my screen guard to understand our days of little beginnings so that we won’t go back to the gutter.

    Mike, 32

    Someone I used to be friends with went and bought me skincare products that cost almost N100k. I rejected the gift because I would not be able to afford new products after exhausting the one she bought for me. It did not make sense to me to go from using Irish Spring and vibes to spending half my monthly salary on skincare. It caused problems between me and her because how she go look me reason say I fit afford that kind thing? All she needed to do was ask me what I wanted. That’s what rich people never understand. They’re so all up in their world that they think everyone must like expensive gifts even when the gifts are not functional. Abeg.

    Lydia, 28

    An uncle gave me a smartwatch in 2017. I was in NYSC then, broke as a church rat. The straps fell off, and I couldn’t replace them because they were too expensive. I also couldn’t find them in Nigeria. I had to abandon the smartwatch for years. Last year, I found something that could hold the watch, but it wasn’t a perfect fit. I managed it for a short while, and then one day, the watch fell off and got lost. Losing the smartwatch hurt me so much, even till today.

    The holidays are a great time to relax with the year winding down. You get to spend time with family, eat great food, and of course, there are gifts!

    Need some ideas for the best gifts to give this season? We’ve got you covered!

    1. Take them to a concert

    This season is heaven for music lovers because many great concerts are happening. If your loved ones love music, take them to the Livespot X Festival. It’s a week-long concert series featuring artistes like Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, P-Square, Tems and 40 more artistes you won’t want to miss.

    2. Give gifts vouchers

    Who doesn’t love a blank check! Instead of thinking endlessly about what gift to get your loved one, you could give them a voucher and let them decide what they want. This makes it easier to give them something they’ll appreciate.

    3. Gift them with MTN shares

    This is probably the best gift you can give your loved one this season. Why? Because it’s a gift that keeps giving! The minimum subscription is 20 shares at N169 per share. So with N3,380, you can set your loved ones up with financial investments that will profit them. You can get more info on this here.

    4. Create a unique experience

    With the travel restrictions around the world, you may not be able to go to the Maldives. Still, you could visit a park, go to a game centre, and engage in other fun activities this season while adhering to the COVID-19 guidelines and protocols.

    5. Buy a thoughtful present

    Everyone has something at the top of their Christmas list, and you can play Santa this year! You could secretly get it for them and leave it under the Christmas tree or on their bedside table if you’re not into the Christmas tree drama. It doesn’t have to be expensive; it just has to be thoughtful!

    There you have it! Five sure ways to spread Christmas cheer this holiday season.
