1. When you’re excited about Christmas presents then you remember all your loved ones always misbehave.
They give gifts like people that don’t have sense.
2. Your mother says her gift to you is the gift of life so you should not disturb her.
Na wa oh!
3. Your father is always buying you things you can never use as if you asked him.
Excuse me sir is it fair?
4. Your junior sister is constantly re-gifting you the gifts you bought her in the past.
That one is kuku a 419.
5. Your senior brother always sends one useless book that nobody including him has any interest in reading.
Professor is that why we are here?
6. That your uncle that has been giving you teddy bears every single year even though you are now over 18.
Is this my life?
7. That aunty that sends christmas broadcast with prayers and thinks that one is a present.
Na wa for you ma!
8. That’s why we love those uncles that send Christmas credit alert.
Better human being!
9. And those aunties that send shoes, bags and fabric.
The best babes.
10. In fact, Chigul put it best!
11. If your present does not make sense, keep it please.
It’s not by force!
12. All we want is something tangible for Christmas!
1. When another event comes up and you have to think of what present to buy.
2. When someone says you should stop buying boxers and singlets as gifts on valentines day.
3. When you need to buy presents for a teenager.
4. When all the things your parents like are expensive.
5. When everyone says “it’s the thought that counts” but still abuse the presents you give.
6. When people say you should put thought into a gift and not just give money.
7. When you mistakenly regift a gift to the person that gave you the gift.
Public service announcement on behalf of the guys: it is time to stop the underwear sets, the white shirts, the polos. It is time to get creative with your gifts. Are you confused on what to get your boyfriend? We made this just in time. Grab a pen and paper.
1. A Timepiece
Truth is you will hardly find a guy that doesn’t own one. A beautiful (original please) watch, will really go a long way in making him happy. (Tip: put a corny joke about time and your relationship e.g. the time is always right with you).
2. Gaming CDs or Consoles
Depending on your budget, either would work. Have you ever heard him talking to his friends about a game CD he wants to get? Yeah, perfect opportunity, go get him that one! He won’t have time to cheat on you while playing it.
3. Perfume or cologne
You sure do want your man smelling good. Invest some money and get him a really good perfume. And no not Active man or 212 men. Get a Versace or a Polo or an Oud depending on your budget. Something to cherish.
4. Take him out on Valentine’s day
Probably did not see that coming. Take your boyfriend to a nice restaurant somewhere and pay for it. Try beat him to his plans for you, and turn the tables that day. He will never forget it.
5. Give him an attire
There are uncountable tailors and fashion designers that can make the perfect agbada or kaftan without measuring you. Check his shirt sizes and pant sizes and get him that “designer agbada” or “designer kaftan”.
6. Alcohol hamper
If you have a boyfriend that likes or loves to drink, wines, spirits, whiskey, rum or even orijin. Get an arrangement of his favorite drinks get about four or five according to your budget and watch him light up.
Why is this here? Is your boyfriend a hungry bachelor, or too busy and always eats out? Great, there are chefs that can make bowls of food, packaged and ready that could last for three weeks. Upsides, he will keep thinking of you each time he eats.
8. Sports jerseys
This is a really good idea. Your boyfriend probably supports Manchester United or Arsenal. If he doesn’t have a jersey you should get him one with his name and favorite number on it. Make it grand give him a home and away jersey. One in the morning the other in the evening and go, another one.
9. A pair of shoes
You sure do want your man to look and dress good, he probably has a photo of a pair of shoes he really wants somewhere on his phone. Surprise him and get him those exact ones. monk shoes, brogues, desert boots these are really perfect or work out shoes if he is fit fam.
So if you didn’t find anything on this list, you can settle for this. There are stores that make customised accessory sets, from pens, belts, wallets, shoes, cufflinks, lapel pins, tie clips and a number of these. Get him about two or three good accessories and he will thank you later.
