Valentine’s Day is finally here! While some will go all out with luxury gifts and getaways, not everyone has the budget to splurge—especially with rising living costs in Nigeria.

But love isn’t about how much you spend.

Here are five thoughtful, budget-friendly last-minute gifts to make your partner feel special:

You can never go wrong with chocolates. Whether it’s Ferrero Rocher, Lindt, or a budget-friendly local brand, a sweet treat paired with a heartfelt note makes a simple but romantic gift.

Perfume

A good fragrance is always a winner. You don’t need designer brands—affordable, long-lasting scents from local perfume houses work just as well.

Movie Date

Skip the stress of shopping and enjoy a cozy night at the movies. Tickets range from N6,000–N9,500 per person, making it a fun and affordable Valentine’s plan.

Data Subscription

In today’s world, gifting data is the ultimate love language. With plans starting from N5,000, you’re giving the gift of seamless communication—because nothing says “I care” like staying connected.

Dinner at Home

Instead of an expensive restaurant, why not cook together? A home-cooked meal, good conversation, and a movie night can be just as romantic—without the hefty price tag.

At the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts. Choose a gift that speaks from the heart, and your partner will surely appreciate it!
