Surprise, surprise is the feeling caused when something unexpected happens. At a point, surprise package was, and is still used to celebrate people that mean well to us, whether it is a birthday, proposal, Mothers’ or Fathers’ Day, or any day. The surprise package usually consists of moneycake or money bouquet, a saxophonist, and sometimes even a car gift. It can also be as little as a rose flower. After all, it is the thought that counts.
So, what does your girlie girl want this Christmas? Girly girl (or girlie girl), according to Wikipedia, is a term for a girl or woman who presents herself in a traditionally feminine way, as opposed to a tomboy, a term used for girls or young women with masculine traits. Girlie girl traits may include “wearing pink, using make-up, using perfume, dressing in skirts and dresses, and engaging in activities that are traditionally associated with femininity, such as talking about relationships”.
In this season, a surprise package will definitely be something many girls will want. So, if your lady is a skincare girlie, get her skin product. If she is a foodie, buy her her favourite junk food and snacks. If she loves fashion, order some clothes for her. A girl can also gift herself and still surprise others as well.
That said, here are our top picks for what a girlie girl wants this Christmas.
Phones
Everyone loves good things and having a phone is a good thing, not just a phone, an iPhone, and not just an iPhone, the latest iPhone(15 promax). Nowadays, iPhones are seen as assets and a status symbol. Everyone wants to acquire one just to fit into the society of the trendy and, of course, the picture quality is scintillating.
If, however, you can’t get a top range iPhone, you don’t need to fret. A lower range iPhone gets the job done too and indicates you’re on your way up.
And even if you cannot get, or do not have an iPhone for now, don’t worry. Any other phone, hopefully an android, would do. Just be yourself and enjoy.
Wigs
Now, everyone is blessed with hair on their heads. Some of the men are bald, though. Not that it stops them from looking good. Nowadays, women, especially African women, don’t want to be seen with their thick dark full curly Afro hair. You know that fashion comes and goes and the Afro will be on its way back in no time. What’s trending for women now is long silky, straight hair, Caucasian (oyibo) style. Many girls want a bone straight, a pixie curl, a deepwave, and human hair, all in different lengths and colours. When you have one or more of these things, rest assured that you’re a happening person and you will have a splendid Christmas. A bit expensive they may be, but some of them last really long, indeed years. But if you don’t have them, don’t worry, just be creative with what you have. You might just succeed in setting the next trendy fashion line.
Shopping
Who doesn’t love new things? Who doesn’t love changing wardrobes? Who doesn’t love the feel of new clothes and outfit? Buying things for Christmas is a therapy in itself. Many girls want to get the things they love whether self-sponsored or by someone else, brother, sister, friend. Try to be self-reliant, though. There are lots of little, legitimate things you can do to earn a little pocket cash. That topic is for another day.
Dinner date
A lot of people cook and eat, but having someone else do the cooking while you dress up and look good on a cool and calm evening can be quite grand. Who doesn’t love a dinner date? Dinner dates are commonplace among couples, friends and family and a girl will surely have a good time if invited out on a dinner date – tables decorated with candles with gentle music are all qualities that will make a dinner date extremely worth it. You can also have grand dinner date in a budget place without some of the listed frills, so cheer up.
Vacations
Going out on a vacation is one of the best feelings many ladies wish for. They want to go to new places, tour around the world, and have fun such as beach vacations, tour, etc. Be comforted too that you can take vacations or tours within your locality, or just visit parks, zoos, amusement parks, shopping malls, game reserves, or just go watch a movie at a film house with some popcorn, the feeling is the same. Who doesn’t love shutting out the world for a day or more? It helps get rid of the stress, the labour from the beginning of the year. Going to somewhere calm, conducive and serene to relax and enjoy yourself can really help. Practice self-care and love, while learning about new places, cultures and environments. Vacations can be within or outside the state or country with a friend or loved ones.
Marriage proposal
A girlie girl will love to visit her beau’s parents this Christmas. I mean, they have literally been dating all year. The Christmas season and end of year will be a perfect time to visit her hopeful’s parents; that is, if he has you in mind. Now I know a lot of girls have their hearts driven in different directions but in all, starting up a family is a term focus of virtually every girl. So, along these lines and at a certain age, more than a handful of girls have a guy they are in a committed relationship with. Now imagine being engaged this festive period or your fiancé who lives overseas comes back to Nigeria and asks your hand in marriage. What a sparkling way that would be to kick off the new year! It would be the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and your wedding ceremony.
When you are meeting your beau’s parents, it is advisable that you wear long-sleeved and somewhat conservative clothing to conceal as much skin as you possibly can. The primary relationship is between your beau and yourself but have no doubt that finding common ground and being cordial with his family will help your relationship. So, when interfacing with his parents, you must take note of the generation gap and make an effort to correspond to their old-fashioned ideals. At first meet, they will make a quiet assessment of your physical appearance, dressing, speech and mannerisms and if the mother rolls her eyeballs or is excessively silent, it could be a sign she is in disapproval or has reservations about you. That’s why it’s often said that first impression goes a long way.
For his parents to like you is often important at this stage of the relationship, so you definitely want to make a good impression. How you look will form a large part of how you will be perceived. There is your behaviour, body language and conversation to consider, and a good visual impression will certainly set the foundation for you to improve how you are perceived going forward. Dressing well depicts good manners and basic etiquette is vital to making an amazing impression with his parents. Dressing appropriately is your first step to establishing a good relationship with his family. While you might not want to reveal your entire self to your partner’s mother and father at first, don’t be afraid to show off your personality. Talk about your passion and interests; the most important thing is to be respectful.
Money
All the points listed above cannot be achieved without the presence of money. That is to tell you how important money is. The best money, though, is the money you make legitimately for yourself. If someone takes you out and chooses to foot the bill, you’re not bowled over because you know that you’re gainfully engaged and have some money of your own, so there are no undue pressures.
