Nobody parties better than Nigerians. Back when the economy wasn’t everyone’s biggest prayer point, and they could actually afford to host legendary parties every other Friday, nobody gave the best party favors.
To prove this, I went on a long search online and compiled this list.
Trays
After serving looks at the party, it’s only right your hosts send you off with a tray so you can never stop serving.
Plastic hand fans
Nigeria is hot AF, so thumbs up for the forward-thinking and practicality of this gift.
Bottle openers
In an era of bottle caps that could break your teeth and leave you unable to function for weeks, openers were always welcomed.
Coolers
If there was one thing the party hosts didn’t joke with back then, it was coolers. Whether empty or full, one thing was for sure; you’d leave with a cooler.
Bags
They came in all shapes and sizes, but best believe they were cute, functional, and would last till you were old and grey.
Bowls
Bathing and kitchen bowls didn’t matter what type of bowl it was as long as they could hold water and carry your other souvenirs from the party.
Customized towels and napkins
If you went to a party and left with either of these, your hosts were swimming in money, and chances are, you were too.
A customized notebook
Emphasis on the customized. If the notebook didn’t state the name of the celebrant(s) like this, “join us to celebrate x”, or “x is 10”, then you didn’t attend a party.
