A couple of weeks ago, some Nigerian mums shared their experiences with party packs and how it has now become a rich vs rich competition among parents.
Nollywood actress Regina Daniels also broke the internet after sharing a video of travelling boxes cosplaying as party packs for her son’s birthday. Let the poor breathe, abeg.
While the mums are free to go as wild as they want, we know kids are only interested in these basic things.

What is a Nigerian party pack with a biscuit without chocolate or strawberry filling? This is the most important part of the whole thing.

You don’t even have to go extra with the expensive ones. Just the sight of a ₦50 – ₦100 lollipop will get the kids giddy.
Crayon

Have you seen kids with crayons? There’s no stopping the Vincent Van Gogh in them once they lay their little hands on them.
Jotter

Dead the idea of that customised towel with a simple jotter, and you’d have made the kids happy. They’ve got a lot of jargon to offload on the pages of that jotter.

Honestly, kids are not hard to please. Just give our little princes and princesses erasers to clean all the atrocities they’ve committed on those jotters.
Juice packs

Give those children their favourite flavours of Capri Sun, Chi Exotic, Hollandia and Tasty Time, and you might have as well hand them the keys to their own cartoon-character-themed bedrooms. Kids are moved by basic things that give them instant gratification.

You’ll get extra points if you go for the customised Barbie, Power Rangers or any of their favourite cartoon characters.
