Best Christmas Gift For Your Nigerian Man
Ladies, when shopping for a Christmas gift for your Nigerian guy, please bear this in mind, get him something he needs. Don’t buy flowers. Get him something he needs. You want to know what he needs? Check this list below.
Subscription
Surprised? Yes, get him a Netflix subscription if he loves movies and if your guy is a football fan, then get one of his favourite sports channels subscribed. A DSTV subscription for live matches is a good way to start. The streaming service will give him access to major sports events, documentaries, and more premium content. You will surely win his heart with this.
A Date
Yes, take him out on a date. I know it is customary for guys to take ladies out but what happens to breaking the rule? You must not follow conventions and mind you, this is a special occasion. Take him out, and make him feel loved and special. It should not always be the guy, ladies too should pull up these surprises.
Slide Sandal
This sounds perfect for a Christmas gift. Guys don’t want much from you but they too love to be treated specially. Guys do love slide sandals and getting your man one could do a whole this period.
A Credit Alert
He doesn’t need to be broke or ask and that’s why it is called a gift. If you have his account details which you should, you could surprise him this period. It doesn’t need to be much but small things done on very special occasions could mean so much. Do well to also attach a special message.
A Pair of Undies
Get something colourful and beautiful. The old pairs should not be worn out before you get him new ones. Just do it this period. Get him new undies that will make you smile every time you look at him in the bedroom. Do well to add a pack of white singlets. Sounds romantic right?
A Pair of New Shoes
Sandals or flip-flops are worn casually but every guy needs the kind of shoes that fits his official status. This could be expensive but it doesn’t matter. Get him a pair of brown or black shoes that will match his suit. I will also recommend you add a brown or black leather belt.
Does he work out?
He doesn’t need to be a gym enthusiast but if he does any kind of workout routine, then you should encourage him. Get him a pair of trainers and you would have motivated the Arnold Schwarzenegger in him.
Get any of these for your Nigerian lover this period and I am sure you are going to make him happy. It doesn’t need to be something expensive necessarily but make sure you get something as a way of telling him you love and appreciate him. Men don’t demand so much.

Do well to add to the flowers a body spray or perfumes she likes. You need to be observant to know the kind of perfume she wears. Get a designer perfume that’s not too expensive but if you can afford it, go for the expensive ones.
An iPhone
Sounds expensive right? Nigerian ladies love this product. I know this is quite expensive and is on the high but if you love her and you have the financial wherewithal, then get her one. But if you can’t, you could go for any other phone. Maybe her phone is already old, get her a new one. We all love an upgrade.
A Power Bank
We know the epileptic nature of light in the country. If your lady loves watching movies or uses her phone a lot, you could get her a power bank. No more low battery and this makes reaching out to her anytime possible. You wouldn’t want to miss her right? This gift is a necessity and you should seriously consider it.
Hair Dryer
She’s going to love the idea of getting her done all by herself at home without going into a salon. Getting her a hair dryer would make that possible.

She’s reminded of how awesome you are.
Jewelry
Most Nigerian women won’t say no to jewelry. They are among the most fashionable people in the world and adding a piece or two of jewelry to their collections won’t be bad. If your lover enjoys wearing jewelry, you could get her pendants, necklaces, and all great jewelry as a Christmas gift. You can even have it customized with her initials on it which makes it all the better. And you can make it even more special by inviting her over for a home-cooked meal, cooked by you, and surprise her with the lovely necklace.
A Date
A surprise dinner date won’t be a bad idea at all. Ladies love this. It makes them feel special. Start by making a reservation at a nice restaurant. Don’t let her know where you are taking her and you can make it even better by having a dress delivered to her for the dinner date.
