Christmas Gifts from Me to Me

Once again it's the season for wish lists and gift ideas for your girlfriends, boyfriends and everyone in between. Thoughtful or not, gift giving could go totally wrong and change what was meant to be a memory for the archives into a huge mess. But there's one person that can never get your gift wrong and that's YOU!

So just in case you aren't familiar with self-gifting, I've put down 5 gifts ideas to give you a start.

My Picks: Aso Oke Bag

This has to be one of my fave accessories. It doesn't hold much but it's a bag my bestie bought for me as a gift from the Nike art gallery in Lekki, I absolutely love that place. 

We went there together and of course we were blown away by all the art, fabric and accessories on sale. Even though I didn't plan on buying anything, I fell in love with this bag instantly and she decided to buy it for me as a gift since she was visiting from school.

I'm sure you can already guess why I love it so much but I'll be obvious, I love the colours, the print and the fabric, it's actually aso-oke. All these things make it special but what makes it even more special is the fact that it was a gift from one of my fave people, someone I've loved probably since primary school.

Be Selfless, Be Kind.

From childhood most of us have been raised to be competitive. Its a dog eat dog world, so competition is inevitable, but how refreshing is it to jusr be selfless?

You know... The feeling of helping others when you have the ability to? Or even if you don't have the funds to help, giving your time, a listening ear or words of encouragement?

In the end, when we help each other, everybody wins.
