Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. To avoid tweeting “What do you give someone who has everything?” yet again, we’ve gone out of our way to bring you a few unconventional gift ideas they definitely won’t see coming.
Feeding bottle
You already call them baby every day. So, why not?
Table mat
If your partner always asks what you bring to the table, buy them a set of table mats so they can prepare for the things you’re bringing.
Washing machine
Who has the energy to wash clothes after a stressful week at work? Certainly not your partner. Buy them a washing machine so they know you care about them.
Or pay for their dry cleaning
Using a washing machine can still be work though so just pay for a year’s worth of laundry service, and they’ll remember you everytime they see their fresh clothes.
Serve them breakfast
Food is the best gift you can give someone you love, and it’s best served in bed. Try it and see. You’ll thank us later.
Gym subscription
How do you expect things to work out between you two if you don’t workout together?
Crypto
If money is your partner’s love language, just buy them crypto on the Luno app and send to them. It’ll show that you care about their finances. Crypto is cheap right now and the process is simple. Just download the app and sign up, and you’re good to go.
Valentine’s Day might be over, but we can’t get over how people in relationships graced our screens with cute pictures and gifts. In case you missed it, here’s a compilation of the cutest Valentine’s Day gifts we saw this year.
Forget what they say about love being a scam. It’s actually sweet.
Because why are people turning to Shakespeare and writing beautiful messages to each other if not out of love. And it’s not just the words. The gifts themselves are…giving!

And let’s not forget the biggest cheerleader of all
Malta Guinness curated a unique experience for their customers by offering them a chance to showcase their love expression skills via letter writing. Lovers of the drink made handwritten letters using buzz words from the past like XOXO, ditto, doxology and golden pen, in a bid to share goodness with their loved ones.
Have you ever wondered what a booless party would be like? Well, Captain Morgan decided we’d had enough of relationships folks stealing the show every February 14th, and so he threw a kickass party for everyone instead. Here’s how it went.
First, you can expect the ambience to pop…
Just take a look at the location. Isn’t it enough to put anyone in the mood for a fun time?
…and for the people to understand the assignment
The party got off to a beautiful start with people arriving in groups. Look at the fits! You can tell they knew how much fun they were coming to have that night.
Good music
Remember how we’ve all been threatening to call Rexxie for months? Well, Captain Morgan called him and he showed up at the party to give the people a night to remember. Chike, the boo of the booless also gave the people a show at the party. It’s a booless party, so it’s only right that the people get a boo for the night.
And lots of fun
As if having two performers for the night wasn’t enough, Captain Morgan brought Segun Johnson to hype people up for the night and make them lose the last bits of home training they thought they had.
And even more fun
That’s not all. There were more fun things to do at the party like card games, trivia games, word plays and photo booths all designed to make the people who came to the party have the best time ever.
Then a dinner experience to top it all up
In the end, it turned out that the Booless Party was all just round one, and a dinner party themed “Love Like the Captain” happened later that night to top it all up. This one featured lots of tasty meals, delicious cocktails, chills, and vibes all courtesy of Captain Morgan.
We’re all watching you BBTitans for the fun and drama, but there are life lessons you could use to up your dating game in there too. Here are a few surefire tips on how you can shoot your shots at your crush, BBTitans-style.
Be mysterious
They’ll be curious about you when they’re not sure who you are, what you are, or whether or not you even have sense. The best way to do this is to not talk too much.
Flirt with them and stylishly ask if they have a partner
Not because it matters to you or because it’s going to stop you anyway. But because you need to know early on if you have competition. So flirt with them a little and start dropping lines like “I don’t want anybody to come and beat me o”.
If they do, snatch them
If they say they do, go on the offensive and snatch them. Don’t worry about the relationship they already have. That’s just collateral damage.
Become their listening ear
You need to be the person they share their deepest secrets with. So they can let you in closer and closer until they’ve let their guard down completely.
Then tell them you’re related to Kiddwaya
You can get their attention by just randomly dropping it in a conversation that you’re related to Kiddwaya and you don’t really need the money.
Be a little toxic dramatic
Have someone else on the side and flirt with them in your crush’s face, so they can feel a little peppered and pay you some attention.
But love-bomb them with food
You already have Big Brother’s kitchen to yourself. Love-bomb them with food till they forget their sense and start following you up and down. Confusion is your primary agenda.
Do their laundry
Offer to wash everything they own. Yes, everything including their underwear. That way, they’re sure you’ll do anything for them.
Give them your duvet
Even if they already have one, give them your duvet so they can stay warm when it’s cold. Yes, we know it’s blazing hot these days but that doesn’t matter. Cold is coming and they’ll need more than one duvet. Love is all about sacrifice.
Or just watch BBTitans on GOtv to learn all the other tips yourself
There are just too many tactics for shooting your shots and we can’t just release all of them to you like that. So, watch the BBTitans show yourself so you can learn more and have fun. It’s showing on GOtv. Don’t say Zikoko didn’t do anything for you.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably in love and fully believe your partner is the best thing on the planet since the invention of fried plantain. You’re probably also wondering: Will our love survive a long-distance relationship if it ever comes down to it?
Well, if you see the signs below, the odds are that the answer is probably “No”. Even if you aren’t in a relationship, you should watch out for these signs in the future.
They can go a day without speaking to you
If you’re a member of the “We don’t need to talk every day” WhatsApp group, sorry, but you don’t have any business being in love. How can I be the love of your life, and you don’t want to hear my voice or text me at least once a day? If that’s who your partner is, your relationship has an unfortunately low chance of successfully crossing the border.
You don’t discuss the future
A long-distance breakup is on the horizon if you and your partner do not have plans for a future together. Chances are, they’ll meet someone new over there, and if you were just dating for vibes, it’ll only make sense for them to move on. Remember, “Out of sight, out of mind”?
They like sleep too much
What do you mean your boo sleeps off 10 minutes into a phone call? Is that what we came to do here? Adulting is tiring, but love is a full-time job. If you want to do it, do it well.
They don’t have the Timon app
You can’t be serious about the future of your long-distance relationship if you don’t have the Timon app. It’s the one fintech app you need to simplify payments whenever you travel globally. Imagine planning a surprise trip to see your boo and then worrying about changing currencies or exchange rates, or worse, getting stranded in a new country. That won’t be you when you travel with Timon.
They have a favourite ex
Hot take, but if your partner is still fond of their ex, your relationship isn’t standing on steady ground, and there’s a chance everything will collapse over long-distance. On the bright side, you can also take over the position of favourite ex. Win-win, right?
Romance has gone on holiday
You’ve barely dated for a year, and you already feel like an old married couple? That doesn’t exactly spell confidence for a long-distance relationship that’ll rely on emotional connection rather than physical presence.
Speaking of holidays, you should know that Timon is the financial passport you need for global travel. Whether you’re planning a trip to surprise your partner, sending or receiving money internationally, travelling for work or just want to relax in a new location, Timon is the one fintech app you need.
Download the app here, sign up for the Timon Black Card using Apple Pay or Google Pay and make your money work everywhere, without limitations.
