Daddy Matters

Your translation of the title of this post could actually reflect what You think about Fathers.

Daddy Matters could mean

Daddy and his wahala
or Daddy's To do list
or Daddy really matters to me

Sorry o.today..THERE IS NO HATING ON DADS for any reason
whether it is the numerous errands or late allowance deposit or battles...No hating today.

We are focusing on reasons to love our Dads for all that they are to Us.

Dads most of the time get the second hug (mum gets the first ) .They complain but We don't Listen....Not fair

Some of Us can afford to forget daddy's birthday thinking "It does not matter to him why should I bother then."..Dad would never hold You to ransom. would He?
Mum knows all the blackmail lines, Dad's lines don't work unfortunately....LMAO

We are holding You to ransom now.....Let Us appreciate DADS this fathers' day JUNE 20TH 2010.

Dads are the reason why we are here and even if most of the times they don't show it.They care

Don't You think Dad deserves a treat this Fathers' Day? Your answer does not matter here :)

These are some of our Ideas for Fathers' day 2010

hobby themed gift boxes, (tennis, golf, reading)

Daddy's Wine basket,

Dad's 'Gentleman' Spa date

Fathers' Day themed cupcakes.. ..

Fruit Basket

Polo shirts

Dad'S customised Audio Cd selection (You tell us his fav artistes and we get him the original cds)

Dads Accessories

We would provide an interseting array of gifts for dad, from a bag of father's day tokens to Pierre Cardin Set of a Tie and a pair of cufflinks.

Nuts and a variety of baked goodies would also be made available.

A more detailed post about the pricing and contents of packages would be posted soon.

For the Brand New Couple

Hello,

Hope life has been fair to Y'all while we Were away.
This post has been sitting in my brain for awhile,
I have written it on paper,lost the paper,drafted on word (did not save that) OOPS!!!
So let me just type it straight from my grey matter...or what do u think?

So back to the matter at hand....GIFTS FOR THE NEW COUPLE
P.S Your ideas are welcome too
We would list the gifts out and try to explain why it is a good gift and what sort of couple it would suit.

1. A good quality JUICER

WHY? Because while everyone is purchasing blenders(basic), You can be assured that your Juicer would not be given out at the next wedding the couple is attending.
FOR? The health conscious young/middle age couple
DOWNSIDE: They may not use it if the model is complex.
If you can not understand the manual please don't buy it.
Oga and Madam don't want to spend their honeymoon decoding your juicer manual.:)

2. A set of WONDERFUL PILLOWS (THE FLUFFIER, THE BETTER) COULD BE THROW PILLOWS

WHY? NOBODY WOULD GIVE THEM PILLOWS.After months of preparation,their heads deserve to rest on a set of nice fluffy pillows not orthopaedic pillows o(except u have foreseen the backache the groom would get after the honeymoon :) lol)...You should be close to them to give them this gift cos as for me.I would not use a set of pillows given to me by a random acquintance.

FOR? Any Couple. The more pillows available the better.

DOWNSIDE: They may not use for the fear of seeing strangers in their dreams.You must get a nice classy set not the basic ***** foam pillows(those ones are too hard)


3.A beautiful set of cutlery

WHY? Cutleries always get stolen or missing.There is always a time when the bride would have to entertain a crowd and a 24 piece set would not be sufficient.

FOR? Any Couple for the Bride's Use

DOWNSIDE: IF it is cheap, it might rust before they get to use it so Please buy a good quality set and look out for stainless steel if You can't buy Silver.

4. A SPA VOUCHER FOR COUPLE'S MASSAGE

WHY? If u have planned a wedding You would know that after the high You feel before the and during the wedding,You feel drained the next day and You just want to sleep for months....ZZzzzzzzz. This gift of a massage can help the couple bond and relax after throwing a good party.

FOR? A Hip Couple. Conservative couples would not appreciate this unfortunately...

DOWNSIDE: Same as Above

5. A good quality food processor

Why? Also a step ahead of the basic blender.A food processor helps the new bride with her kitchen duties and gives the couple more time together.Most importantly,The bride's food creativity is given a drive.

FOR? A Couple that consists of a kitchen loving BRide

DOWNSIDE: COMPLEX MANUALS would kill the excitement. Couple most be in tune with technology

6. A Pemium Wine Basket for the New Couple

Why? Good conversation and relaxation for the couple.the perks are...friends and family may get in on the fun if You pop in to visit the newly married duo...lol

FOR:ANY COUPLE...could be purely non-alcoholic,alcolic or a mix

DOWNSIDE; You need information on the couple's lifestyle


7. HIS AND HERS HOBBY INSPIRED GIFT

WHY? TWO BECOME ONE IN MARRIAGE RIGHT? So help them become 1 in the hobby department.whether it is tennis,golf.swimming,squash,chess,monopoly e.t.c

FOR? Couples that actually have a hobby

DOWNSIDE: You need the inside scope to give this kind of gift So You don't get it wrong

8. A DUVET SET

WHY? There would surely be chilly nights that the couples would need an external warmth generator.Give them the most comfy Duvet ever.The thing about duvets is that You cannnot go wrong.IT must be used.Most of these duvets come with Pillow cases and a bedsheet.I suggest You buy either a queen's size or king's size.

FOR: ANY COUPLE

DOWNSIDE: In Nigeria It does not get cold except during rainy season or in an airconditioned home.

9. THE GOOD OL' DINING SET

WHY? Many people would present this gift but Yours should stand out.You acn go for an odd shaped set, handpainted set or classic coloured set.Make your choice stand out

FOR:ANY COUPLE

DOWNSIDE: If your choice does not stand out, Then It would be given out at the next wedding or an aunty might get it...lol

10. NUMBER TEN WOULD BE A LIST OF OTHER INTERESTING ITEMS

A HIM & HER PICTURE FRAME
A FRAME HOLDING A BEDSIDE PRAYER
A SET OF CRYSTAL GLASSES
A SET OF CRYSTAL CHAMPAGNE FLUTES/RED WINE GLASSES
A BATHROOM SET(TOILET COVER, FOOT MAT)
A SET OF NON-STICK PANS
COOKERY BOOKS
PEDICURE FOOT MASSAGER
ELECTRONICS

ARTSY FLOWER VASES

PAINTINGS


EXTRA TIPS:

Please make sure all fragile gifts are well padded before wrapping
Ensure You enclose a call card or note on/inside the wrapped parcel.To ensure that the couple is able to identify the sender. for correspondence if necessary
If You present a gift that has warranty please enclose the warranty certificate
You don't have to present the gift in the wedding day.You could drop it at the residence after the wedding.
Don't include cash gifts in your parcel.Give it to bride or groom before or after the wedding.

We hope this post helps You in your next wedding gift quest..
Happy Hunting..

Give GIFTS not Excuses

What Gifts can be

Hello People,

This post was inspired by an argument a couple had concerning getting a toaster as a wedding gift for a newly wedded upper class couple.

Mr B says "couple would obviously get more than one, let us get something else" and Mrs B says " It is the thought that matters and They can give it out if they do not need it"

So whose side are you on?

As for Me, I believe Mrs B is right with the ''It is the thought that matters'' line, However what is the point if You already know that the couple would get at least 5 toasters on their wedding day and You are THOUGHTFULLY wrapping the sixth toaster for them to give away at the next wedding they attend?????????

Mr B is also right about searching for another option because I can bet that there were other things that could have been bought that the couple would really need.

We, at Cupids' gift Consulting believe that When You give a gift, The mere act is appreciated but if the gift itself is appreciated then that is what rewards the gesture

Gifts can be thoughtful, like giving a friend Your old bangle

Gifts can be cheesy, like giving Your girlfriend A framed love letter

Gifts can be fun like going out to lunch or dinner with friends

Gifts can be bought at the boutique, shopping mall .........

Gifts can be expensive and thoughtful ( favorite designer perfume n body product set)

Gifts can be as easy as putting money into an envelope...........toooooo easy :( *except is for a bereaved person or pre wedding gift*

Gifts can be formal , like a Classy paper weight or set of pens

Gifts can be life style inspired like subscription to a fav magazine

Gifts can be themed based on ur hobby like a reading basket...with bestsellers and a bookmark

Gifts can be practical like the good ol' blender for mummy :)

Gifts can be romantic like a gift voucher for a couple's massage at the spa

Gifts can be last all year long like paying for membership of a gym for a friend

Gifts can be heartfelt like a surprise vacation for mummy or daddy after a trying period

Gifts can be.........................

If You have other Gifts can be ideas feel free to share them

These are ours for now

See you soon....Remember to give gifts not excuses and We are only a call/mail/tweet away :)

MOTHERS DAY REPORT PART 1

Happy Mothers day Success people!!!!

Cupids Gift Consulting is back o with all the grease and gist! Things have been so hectic with Mother's day deliveries and consulting, We had to take time, sit back *with spring rolls* and prepare an interesting update for You.

Mother's day was beautiful we got a lot of clients>>thanks guys! We were initially scared because people didn't seem willing to spend as much as they did on their girlfriends(surprising i know!),but at last hurray!!! We were able to force some horses to drink water at our river…lol

We prepared gifts for young wives, aunties, ol' skool mum, trendy mum…..not to forget the dainty MIL Of MYNE WHITMAN and It was so much fun and work,(as usual last minute order change). the amount of time and detail that went into picking each gift was really heartwarming. When we say bespoke packages we mean it, (We had a stiletto heel on one of our box of cakes cos the mum is a shoe lover).We almost missed 2 deliveries due to *mummy has just gone to church*

We made sure mums did not get too much sugar in their system with our low sugar range.

People really love their mum's oh! (forget all those fb status and tweets)

From the spa treatments to flavoured herbal teas to Ankara to teapots…it wasn't an easy juggle for us.

We had a client call in from America who wanted a package for her Mother-in law. When we went to deliver the package the woman could barely hold back tears. P.S benefit of this business is getting loads of hugs..hmm!!! J

We made all fathers jealous this Mothers day... Lol but be assured we have a dandy plan for father's day come june J This is why we do what we do. Making people happy and knowing that it reminds them that they are loved is such a great feeling.

So will you be getting one of our EASTER PACKAGES? Don't slack oh! Easter is April 5^TH( there is no other date for easter this year so let us do this for You) We provide our services for birthdays and other special occasions too....

Watch this space for update on easter packages coming out this week…Get ready to shout Hallelujah for 2 reasons J

Cheers people
