In a recent interview with Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM, Ghanaian media personality Serwaa Amihere has advised women to steer clear of giving boxers as gifts on Valentine’s Day. Highlighting the essence of thoughtful gifting, Amihere emphasized the importance of meaningful presents, especially on significant occasions like Valentine’s Day.
Amihere critiqued the common practice of women gifting their partners with boxers, suggesting that it lacks creativity and thoughtfulness. “If you buy a man boxer shorts, he will buy underwear for you. I think women should give proper gifts. That has always been my mantra,” she stated, pushing for a culture of reciprocity and generosity in relationships. She advocated for gifts that reflect effort and consideration, urging those who can afford it to elevate their gifting game.
Her advice extends beyond romantic relationships; Amihere practices thoughtful gifting with her friends as well, highlighting a broader philosophy of mutual appreciation and generosity. She noted that while it’s fine to gift within one’s means, if one has the financial capability, one should aim for gifts that are more than just practical or routine.
This advice from Serwaa Amihere, known for her influence in media and her insights on social matters, has sparked conversations about the nature of gift-giving, especially around Valentine’s Day, a time traditionally focused on expressions of love and affection through gifts. Her perspective encourages a shift towards more meaningful exchanges, reflecting deeper personal connections rather than sticking to conventional, less thoughtful options.
