Valentines gifts; A man's perspective (2)

Am tired of giving her so much every year and all I get is an insensitive gift. Yes, that's what men think in their hearts. You want him to buy you something expensive, so you can brag to your friends but you don't give him what cost you.

This year has to be different, give him something he would treasure. For those ladies who have been thinking of the best gifts to give this year, below are a list of things you can buy.

WATCHES

If your hubby is the geeky one, you are allowed to buy him a 'Casio' watch, try not to buy the cheap Casio watches that go for $10-15 on Amazon. there are some that sell for $100, endeavor to give him your best this year.

Dress watches are also very trendy, he would wear it everywhere, you can get him a Fossil or Michael Kors. If you don't want to go through the stress of checking amazon, you can check konga.com/o-o-gadgets

Blazers &Suits

For the ladies whose hubby's are fashionistas, check kimonokollection and olumurewa on Instagram, I don't  know how affordable they are but they sell beautiful blazers and suits.

SHOES

Most guys like shoes, you can hardly see a man who isn't particular about his shoes. To get very good shoes, check 6pm.com, zappos.com, you can buy directly from these websites with your GTBmastercard or UBAmastercard. All you have to do is select what you want, pay with your card then use the cargo company's address in the US. Some people are not comfortable using their cards, you can tell the cargo company to procure for you. You can check shoptomydoor.com for my information.

You can also buy good shirts from Tmlewin.com and Asos.com with your Gtb mastercard. For ladies who don't want the stress of cargo companies, you can buy cufflinks, perfumes or even take the Mr. out for dinner.

Do you have a contrary view or share the same view as mine, Thoughts?

Valentine Gifts...Books, Laptops,Flowers,Designer Clothes or Shoes

Valentine is around the corner, what would you love to receive from the Mr.? Some women would probably want some designer clothes or shoes.

Tips for the Mr.

 

Checkout c21stores.com, you can get some Prada for as low as $300, just in time for Valentine before they get sold out. For those who cant afford a whopping $300 for Prada, You can check www.dsw.com for great finds like the BCBGeneration Darron Pump that is an imitation of the popular Valentino  Rockstud Pumps. Enough of all the American thingy. Not all guys want to go through the stress of checking a website and wait for days to get the item delivered to them in Nigeria.

    You can get unique and affordable jewellery at Trinkets&treasures, their Instagram page- trinketsndtreasures. For affordable dresses check out debrasgrace,maisondehelen on Instagram and even the popular jumia.com.ng

    For the geeky ladies who are obsessed with Computers, there was this Asus laptop that was selling at a ridiculous price on black Friday in November. its very  handy so, Mr, you can go for that ,its available in computer village, obviously it can't  be N20,000 but it would probably be below N50,000. But if you are not willing to splurge, you can buy the complete season one of Silicon Valley or Orange is the New Black. I hope she likes it.

And for the ladies who love a good book, you can buy her Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun or Sefi Attah's Everything Good Will Come.

Ladies do you want him to splurge this year or you want him to save. Thoughts?

30+...Single, Successful but Unmarried

Looking back over the years, most single ladies in their 3os would never have thought they would ever ask the question "When would I ever walk down the aisle". Its a question so many women ask me and I tell them wait for God's time, yes some of you will say don't go all church all on me, say something else. Alright, I will. Ladies, it might actually be the drab clothes you wear all year, I said might, not all women are in this category. Now to the drab clothes, all you need is a change of wardrobe. Get yourself some beautiful clothes, mix and match them properly. wear some heels girl, it doesn't have to be 5inches, get some 3inches, it builds the confidence in you.
 You don't have to buy expensive clothes, there are dresses from low-end stores that everybody can afford, all you have to do is combine it well, then you look good. Like I said earlier, its not all about the clothes, for some women its the attitude, you are successful, live in your own apartment, drive an expensive car, wear trendy clothes, yet no man even says hi to you. What exactly is wrong?Well, take a second look at yourself. There is probably this guy you look at disdainfully. Yes, we know, he is a mechanic; that's mean of me to say, lets say he earns a quarter of what you earn in a year. Are you seriously going to walk away from the man who might be your spouse because of what he earns. Have you taken out time to chat him up, get to know more about him or do you want to stay single all your life. its a stalemate, the choice is yours.
For some, you are probably not positioning yourself in the right place. Don't lock yourself in your room all weekend, go out more, have fun, make new friends, meet people. Your partner might be lurking in the shadows somewhere. Lets take the bull by the horn ladies, if you wanna stay single all your life, that's fine but you can change it. Good luck in your affairs.
 Thoughts?
