Nollywood actress, Sylvia Oluchy, has been known to share her interesting take on issues on Twitter and she recently took to the microblogging site to speak on gifts.
The movie star explained that she hates cheap gifts because they make no economic sense. According to her, the receiver of the gift would not appreciate it and would trash it later. She said it leaves no sentimental gratitude.
In her words: “I hate cheap gifts. No, this is not a bourgeoisie mentality. Cheap gifts make no sense economically. The person you are gifting it to will not appreciate it, they'll smile, thank U and throw it away once you leave. So it’s just a waste of money and leaves no sentimental gratitude”

Explaining further, Sylvia said that if people do not want to spend money on gifts and are not artistic enough to give something that is handmade, personal and full of thought, then the person should just buy things that are eatable because everybody loves to eat.
Sylvia said a woman would rather eat a good chocolate bar that cost only N500 instead of a pair of earrings for the same price that would be thrown out later.

If you don't want to spend money on a gift and you're not artistic enough to make something handmade that will be very personal and full of thought, then just buy something edible like biscuits, chocolate or icecream. Everyone loves to eat. ????
