Valentine’s Day: 14 Gifts You Can Buy with N1000 for Your Girlfriend

As the economic recession continues to bite harder, Nigerians find it difficult to afford the luxuries to which they are accustomed and some can not even do what they used to.

Valentine's Day is back. Everyone knows that women expect their men to stupidly spoil them with gifts on that day, and if they fail to do so, there will be trouble.

Since there is a recession, some men can no longer buy these costly gifts for their ladies or take them out for a romantic dinner.

An anonymous man, complaining about his plight, wrote: " Because of the economic recession, I'm broken. Unlike previous Valentines that I took my girlfriend to exotic places, I can't afford that luxury this time, because I just have N1000 with me when I type this message. And I want to buy something as a Valentine gift for my girlfriend. What can I buy, please?"

N1000 can't buy much now, but it can buy a couple of things. If you're in the same situation with this man, you can buy things with N1000 for your girlfriend.

1. Locally made bangle

If she's someone who loves bangles, you can get one of those bangles made locally.

2. Pants

Who needs a Victoria Secret pant if you can get the N500 pant in any market.

3. Rose

Everywhere there are cheap roses. Just buy one for her and spray it with your favorite perfume.

4. Jewelry

Most girls like jewelry and N1000 can buy cheap jewelry.

5. Recharge Card

It's very easy. You don't need to go to the market. Everywhere you can get a recharge card.

6. Chocolate and cake

Bounty, snickers, mars and the rest are available. Cupcakes are not expensive either.

7. Greeting card

You can buy her a card that conveys your feelings with a strong message. You can also write on the card how you feel.

8. Ice cream

You won't buy expensive ice cream every time. Try the cheap ones sometimes. It's not bad at all.

9. Fruits

Fruit is good for her health and can reduce the risk of many diseases. Help her stay fit.

10. Date night in

Since you can't afford to take her out, invite her to your house and watch films together.

11. Cook for her.

We know N1000 can't cook a good meal with chicken and all kinds of things. You can make vegetables indomies.

12. Hang out in a park

For her, your presence alone is more than enough. Promise her that Valentine's Day will be better next year.

13. Rubber slippers, sandals

Rainy season is coming. She will need the rubber slippers that can survive the season without spoiling.

14. Just tell her things, you don't have to buy anything from her.

Tell her about the situation. If you can't tell your girlfriend you're broken, there's a problem.

Remember, Valentine's Day is a day of love and not a time to impress anyone. You don't have to buy gifts. Stick to your budget and keep the real fun.
