BAD GIFT GIVERS

In my best Wendy Williams voice, " how are you doing"? 
Nothing beats the joy of receiving gifts on special occasions from someone special, but receiving Bad Gifts is an emotion killer,a bad gift is not only a kill joy, it will also kill the worms in your stomach. Lol!!!

Some people really suck at giving gifts. Ok let's put it this way, some people are not creative when it comes to gift giving. They just walk into a shop lay their hands on anything they feel is cute and bam!!! They're gone. 
A lot of people don't look forward to receiving  gifts from people like this on special occasions because their gifts are not exactly worth looking forward to. 

Seriously giving a bad gift takes the joy out of sharing and receiving gifts. Calling something random a gift does not make it a gift. I know that they say "it's the thoughts that counts" but the gift counts too. Some folks just needs to put more efforts in getting a gift for "someone special ". 

Gifts should be selected with a lot of care and thoughts... you've been around that person long enough so buying a gift for them should be  as easy as threading a niddle.

Then again, most bad gift givers don't do it intentionally they just suck at giving gifts and are not exactly creative  when it comes to giving gifts.

In order to make it easier for the bad gift giver in your life and save them the hassles of buying you a gift that you will end up loathing,  I have come up with a few tips for you:

Be specific 
We've established the fact that gift giving is not exactly one of the strengths of your "Special Someone", so it will be nice for you to be  specific with what you want on that special occasion. It has to be something you really love but it also has to be affordable. 

Be truthful 
For you to have a healthy relationship with the gift giver, you have to politely let them know that they suck...oops! I mean they're not creative when it comes to giving gifts‎. You appreciate the fact that they try to get gifts for you but you'll appreciate it more if they put more effort in getting a gift that you will.love and cherish. 

You can be cunning (wink, wink)
Before the special occasion take the gift giver to your favourite shop under the pretense of window shopping and begin to drop hints on things you'll love for.........................
(at this point you will casually mention the occasion) . Pray very hard that the gift giver gets your hint. 

If these tips don't work, ‎you're stuck with bad gifts for a long time. ‎

    Some gifts are definitely a buzz killer. But truth be told, on the average Nigerians are commendable when it comes to giving gifts.

    If one's close friends always get them "bad gifts " then I doubt their friendship. Because as women, we like to talk about what we like; shoes, bags, clothes; the designer brands we like and what have you. So a close female friend being a "bad gifter" is inexcusable because there are plethora of options - I believe this applies to males too.

  Few days ago I went to Everyday supermarket at GRA to get some stuffs, as we drove pass where they sell chicken, I saw a lady that used to live on my street, first of all I was surprised to see her because it's been ages, and then again I was staring at her face and was wondering what went wrong. This lady used to be one of the prettiest ladies on my street, smooth skin, fine legs and all. Every man wanted this lady at the time. There was a particular guy that did everything he could to get her but didn't and I'm in front of her and I'm thinking if that guy sees her now he won't even give her a second look. One thing I liked about her  then was her personality she was a very sweet and cheerful lady. I looked at this lady and was wondering why she's not beautiful anymore. A lot of questions went through my mind at the time. Was she sick? Is she married? If yes is she married to a monster or is she Divorced? Did she lose her job? Then It hit me regardless of

FACING MY FEAR

Welcome to my blog, Wow!!!! It feels good saying "my blog"!  I know that I am nervous and excited at the same time, but nothing can be compared to the joy that I am feeling right now. Words cannot explain my feeling of accomplishment. I honestly can't believe that I am starting my own blog, it's like a dream, somebody should just pinch me. Lol!! Before I bore you guys with my excitement and the phrase "my blog" let me share the reason for this excitement.  Over the years  my friends have asked me  why I am not blogging  and the answer I always gave them was that I am not a good writer neither am I a grammarian. I always see myself as not having what it takes to be a blogger.  The more I thought about blogging, the more I loved the idea but what to write or how to put my thoughts in writing has always been my major fear so i've always shoved the idea of blogging aside.  My friends will always say to me  "Chika you're doing great on fa

Pains of Nene.

  I was watching a Nollywood movie " pains of Nene", and I was wondering why some married women actually allow a third party in the name of friends ruin their home. The movie basically is about a married woman who befriends a group of women despite her mother's warnings. She takes every bit of advice they give to her not realising their hidden agenda to send her out of her husband's house so they can lay their hands on her husband's wealth. First of all the man is everything a woman desires. He's rich, handsome, caring, he's faithful, a loving father to their kids, he spoils her silly with money he's the perfect man with no flaws. You know the kind of man you only see in the movies. Yep!! That movie perfect man. Bottom-line they succeeded in sending her out of her matrimonial home and planted a lady in the home to help them with their evil plans.   they are always the first to tell you all he did wrong.     I don't need soothsayers t
