Sharing is caring!

Valentine’s Day

The year 2019 started on a very auspicious note. I understand that we are usually excited to see a new year but this year was kinda different. People were really enthusiastic about 2019 and Valentine’s day isn’t devoid of the same enthusiasm as many are looking forward to it already.
I hope you already have an idea of how Valentine’s day 2019 would go? If you don’t, then read about 10 Fun Things You Can Do on Valentine’s Day.
“There’s no biggie about Valentine’s day. Love should be celebrated every day. Yen yen yen…”
Miss me with that sermon this year. It’s not about the history, it’s about the purpose. Love is a beautiful thing. If a day is set aside to show love, not only your partner but to others, then it’s a good thing and it must be embraced.
I’m excited to be witnessing Valentine’s day 2019 and I’ll be sharing with you some Valentine’s day gift ideas.
Because, what is Valentine’s day without gifts? It’s not the magnitude of the gifts that matters but the attitude (which is love).
So, come with me, let’s explore some Valentine’s day gift ideas:

Valentine’s Day gift ideas

Cakes

cake
Cakes signify love and happiness. That’s why birthdays, weddings, retirement parties, and other happy events are never complete without cakes.
So also you can never go wrong with gifting your husband, wife, fiance, fiancee or even a friend with cake on Valentine’s day.
It could be a surprise cake delivered to them, if you can’t deliver it yourself. You can also deliver it yourself and you guys can have a great day bringing down the delicious mountain together.
If you are Nigerian, you live in Nigeria, or your lover lives in Nigeria, consider yourself fortunate because you’re about to make your boo/bae have the most fabulous Valentine’s day ever!
How?
Top Notch Patty is a seasoned baker who has created a very affordable package for this year’s Valentine’s day. She’s based in Lagos but delivers nationwide.

Customized Tees

t shirt
Who wouldn’t love a gift with their names, nicknames or pet names inscribed on it?
Looking for a gift that your boo/bae would always remember you for? A customized tee is a perfect one.
If you’re buoyant, you can add the first Valentine’s day gift idea (cake) to it and watch your partner fall in love with you afresh.
If you are considering this option, Slaw G Olaide is your go-to guy for this job. You can have it delivered to anywhere in Nigeria.

Customized face Caps

Waist beads


This one! This one right here is super romantic. I remember we wear waist beads as kids. Hahaha. I’m actually thinking of getting this one for myself as a Valentine’s day gift to….you…know…spice things up around here. LOL.
Abeke Ade is your go-to lady for super cute and affordable waist beads.
According to Abeke Ade, ”waist beads enhance a lady’s carriage, increase sex appeal, beautify the body, increases confidence, and gives an illusion of a bigger bum.”
To know the seriousness of waist beads, a song is dedicated to it. Waist beads is ‘ileke’ in Yoruba. Listen and download HERE. I promise you’ll dance before you continue reading.
Husbands, what are you waiting for?
Get one for your wives already!!! Don’t be boring. LOL. You can also get one for yourself, ladies.

Wigs

Believe me, this is one of the best gifts any African lady, especially Nigerian, will appreciate; because wigs have taken over in the hair world.
Wigs are not only comfy, they save us from the stress of sitting in the salon for long hours and the pain of hairdo.
I’m a sucker for weaving and braids but it’s hard to get them done outside Nigeria. So, wigs are life savers. I have two braided wigs and I’m planning to acquire more wig types.
Deborah Olamide of DBS hair makes really great wigs. She delivers worldwide. Can you imagine? She sent mine from Nigeria to Denmark and it arrived within two days. I’ve been rocking it since then.

You can buy a hard copy or an eBook. Books as Val gift? Absolutely!
