Have a picnic at the park

Lagos State is home to several free parks. They include Muri Okunola Park, Ndubuisi Kanu Park Oregun, Ikorodu Recreational Park, Alausa Resort Center and Freedom Park. These parks are excellent for romantic budget-friendly picnics.

Grab a basket, blanket or mats and your home-cooked meal (preferably your boyfriend's favourite dish) or snacks and you are good to go.

This day is all about celebrating your boyfriend, so be completely selfless. Think about all the stuff that he likes to do that you don't necessarily like and make an effort to participate. Watch a football match with him, wear the outfit he likes, just do something that is totally about him because it lets him know how important he is to you.
