    2. Just looking and looking because you’re single.

    3. Your frenemies have been asking, “What are you up to?” like they don’t know the answer is “Nothing”.

  • 10 Great Gifts To Give Your Nigerian Boyfriend For Valentine’s Day

    10 Great Gifts To Give Your Nigerian Boyfriend For Valentine’s Day
    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.

    7. Food

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BBX4Emip-A-/?taken-by=phummyndeps
    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.

    10. Accessory sets

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BBZgzaxmdKe/?taken-by=ttdalk
    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.

  • 7 Out-Of-The-Box Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

    7 Out-Of-The-Box Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

    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.

  • The Cutest Valentine’s Day Gifts of 2023

    The Cutest Valentine’s Day Gifts of 2023

    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!

    It all started with Adesua shouting Banke out very early in the morning

    What Banky W did exactly, we’ve not found out till today. But Adesua set the tone for the day.

    Someone got tickets to Beyonce’s tour

    And we’re totally jealous.

    Someone said the winner of Valentine olympics has come for her crown

    The owner of Valentine’s Day gave everybody else time to make their case so she can step in with the perfect closer.

    Someone got an animated book of their love story

    This is the kind of feel-good stuff we’re here for.

    This  lady was gifted a whole experience 

    https://twitter.com/Inzaghi1/status/1625531009960759296?s=20

    The cutest scented candle ever

    https://twitter.com/UjuAnya/status/1625856079363014656?s=20

    Someone got himself a car for Valentine’s Day

    Talk about self-love.

    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.
