October 3rd: A Day to Celebrate Boyfriends ¶
October 3rd is a special day set aside to appreciate and celebrate boyfriends. It's a reminder to take a break from daily routines and shower your partner with love and affection.
However, most people would love to go all out for their partners but are limited by their tight budgets. So, we've come up with five inexpensive yet memorable ideas to celebrate the one person who offers their jacket when you're cold, tells you how great you look when you know you don't look your best, and is always there for you.
Published on October 3rd, 2019, at 7:14 PM, these ideas are perfect for someone with a tight budget. You can enjoy them alone for less than N2000 or add them to a plate of noodles or rice.
- Have a picnic at the park: Lagos State is home to several free parks, including Muri Okunola Park, Ndubuisi Kanu Park Oregun, Ikorodu Recreational Park, Alausa Resort Center, and Freedom Park.
- Grab a basket, blanket, or mats and your home-cooked meal (preferably your boyfriend's favorite dish) or snacks, and you're good to go.
Alternatively, you could move your National Boyfriend Day to the weekend and enjoy the ocean breeze and amazing views as you zipline with your boyfriend. There are certain spots in Lekki where you can zipline for about N2,500.
- Spending quality time together: Sometimes the best way to show someone you care is by simply making out time for them and hanging out with them. So, give your boyfriend the gift of quality time, just make sure he has your full attention (no phones allowed).
This day is all about celebrating your boyfriend, so be completely selfless. Think about all the stuff that he likes to do that you don't necessarily like and make an effort to participate. Watch a football match with him, wear the outfit he likes, just do something that is totally about him because it lets him know how important he is to you.
