You may think your partner is giving you a gift just because. But there’s a direct connection between the gifts your partner gave you for Valentine’s Day and who they are an individual. 

1)  Flowers

Anyone that buys you flowers for Valentine’s Day is straight out of an early 2000s romantic movie and should be protected at all cost. They like to keep things simple and  classy. Anybody who gives you flowers  probably comes from old money, so you better secure the bag. 

2) Breakfast

You don chop national cake, but don’t worry, e go reach everybody. Unfortunately, your own came first. Your partner is not wicked; it’s just character development. Your partner is trying to build your resistance and you’d thank them for it later. 

3) Food

Whoever gives you food for Valentine’s Day is a keeper. They’re also used to being the most adult person in a friend group and they sometimes treat you like a child. It’s not their fault sha, na condition dey make crayfish bend. 

4) Sex 

You might want to call them broke, but they’re not. Partners that give sex for Valentine’s Day are visionaries. They’re trying to help you reach your fitness goals even during holidays and pleasure you while at it. When you’re 75 and still running marathons breathlessly, you’ll remember them. 

5) Alcohol

This one depends on the kind of alcohol they’re giving you. If they’re less than 30, you’ll probably be collecting a bottle of wine, but if they’re 30+, maybe whiskey. Either way, they’re trying to turn you into  you an alcoholic. We think that’s a red flag. 

6) Money

Bundles upon bundles and stacks upon stacks. Baby, na all of us get the partner. No vex. There’s nothing we can tell you about them except that they belong to all of us. 

7) Perfume

Contrary to popular belief, your partner doesn’t buy you perfume because you’re smelling. Instead, buying you perfumes shows they’re  proud people who like to make a statement. Bragging comes second nature to them. Also probably a Leo

8) Gadgets of any kind

From virtual reality headsets to televisions because you’re squinting like a squirrel, if you got any gadget for Valentine’s Day, then you’re dating a tech person. They probably talk about startups and seeds kini in their spare time. They also really care about your life and making it easier by getting machines to ease your stress.
