OP, when giving out gifts, don't so it because someone have out such gifts to another person and the person loved it. Look at the person you are giving that to and know if they really will appreciate it. There's no need giving someone something they won't like. A wrist watching of 5k even without the extra 2500 may have been more appreciated. A pair of shoes or a handbag. If she truly is your friend. Or maybe just giving her the cash would have been something. How can you give her 7k flowers and you want her to like it. It would have even been better if you got a painting of that flower so that she can hang if on her wall and it will always be there. One thing is giving, another is knowing what to give to who. They don't have to be expensive, they just have to be worthy. These goes to both male and female folks who wish to give their opposite sex friends gifts. Give th what they will like not what you like. You can't give someone what you like and expect the person to like it. It does have to be expensive. If you don't know what they like, give tj the cash of really you want to give them something.
I would prefer a pare of bedroom slippers to the flowers even.
Life is not that hard, I think we deliberately make it hard for ourselves.

Kastonkastroll:
Is not a Nigerian girls thing. Girls generally dont accept or appreciate flowers like before. Even oyibo girls don stop to dey collect flowers. Dont know about indian girls sha

Make the Indian girls gerrrrout

redsun:
It's got to do with Masłów's hierarchy of needs, if you know what I mean.

Yes understand. There's hunger and other more important needs to satisfy yes somet blow 7k on flowers that will wither and waste away. Why not buy her a crate of eggs, carton of indomie or beautiful dress.

Na money be their own flower oo, just add some money follow d flower..

bakesntakes:
Nigerian girls are the least romantic girls, if it's not money forget it Bro.

I dey shame 4 naija women mentality.
They don't appreciate simple things. .If d simple things don't put a smile on ur face then u'll never be truly happy. .

She would prefer the #7,500 instead because those flowers may goes to the trash after the birthday celebration.

Exactly...I don't understand why you would give a person a gift that is of no use to the person.

Where do you want her to keep the flowers?

Does an average Nigerian have flower vase in their house?

You give her a gift that will wither the next day & be thrown away... what's the point?

Wetin I wan use flower do
I sneeze a lot around them anyway

Those ones bashing girls as usual should tell me how they'll feel if given a bunch of flowers for their birthday.

Fellows,

A quick one
One of my friends celebrated her birthday recently.
I was lost in thoughts over what to buy for her.
So I surfed the internet and I saw a lot of suggestions.

I ended up getting a flower for her. I ordered the flower on an online flower shop and it was delivered to me.

On her birthday, I took the flower and went to her place. I presented it to her during the little birthday bash she organised.

To my utmost surprise, she and her friends looked at me with contempt. She was not happy I got the flower. It was glaring on her face.

---

I have seen a lot of movies where flowers are presented to girls and they are very happy.

Why is it that some Nigerian girls don't value the gift of flowers?

I spent NGN 7,500 to get the flower!

Why should I be concerned about what someone likes as gift, something they didn't pay for.
Not that they will buy you something in return worthy beyond a flower's price tag

Flower from r hungry girl?

Haba

A typical Nigerian girl will slap u with that same flower and asked u if she's a goat before bringing leaves to her...instead my brother if a flower cost 7k, give her 3k and save the remaining cash to yourself...

Please give me a link. I need to order some flowers too, sir.

Kobojunkie:
Not every women, even in the movies you watch, like flowers for a gift. And a bigger problem here is in your assumption that movies accurately portray real life..

You don talk am finish Oga mi, not just it not portraying reality of life, even the actors and actresses are victims of their made belief movies,quite a large number of them no dey practice wetin them they act. If not why do we still have divorced actors and actresses if they can't take lessons from their own movies.

The only language they speak is finessing a man

It actually looks lovely but some girls prefer the money. Right now i you can buy golden morn and stand a chance to win 1 million naira in the heritage promo.

Most Nigerian women are ignorant money grabbing hoes. They wouldn't know the gesture behind giving them flowers, they would say give me the money for the folowers instead.

Flower na food?

Toluwanise247:
white are trained with love and care while african base life on survival.
Our maternity is just changing to love and care that is why we find it difficult to adapt. People value money than life. No matter what you are saying to African girl if it not involve in money na rubbish to her.

As in eh. Ithat's what I have learnt to since o. If it's not iPhone 13pro it must be a car or something material

Octafx gives every new member $1000 fake cash that they can use to learn but you can't withdraw or earn from it , that's what it feels like when you got her flowers , even a teddy bear would've been sweet but its more expensive and it doesn't die , its not that Nigerian girls are materialistic, you did not put much thought into your " special gift" you just threw 7500 away , I would've just said thank you but I won't pretend I like it
Gifts you could've gotten for her include
Chocolate
Food
Jewelry
Never buy a dress please or undies unless its lingerie and you're that close
A pet
Stuffed animals
Whatever works with your budget
As for me food is the way to my HART
I don't care how much I have or how much I don't have, food has always and hopefully might always be my love language, imagine stressed out at work or school or bored at home and hearing that you have delivery , to make it ho hot add a note or worse ,a love letter too much kdrama is doing me

In the first place don't bother getting anything for them , don't come and stress someone coz they don't like something ,its already bad to give out something you got as a gift but me I will dash it if I see who like it , since the person that gave it doesn't care since I didn't buy it with my money
