We all love how dramatic African parents can be.

They are dramatic, egocentric but most of all they are very loving even though most will never say it out loud.

Wondering what to gift your parents whether biological or adoptive? Worry not here are some ideas.

Land

Most African parents want a place they can call their own.

What better way to do this than to gift them with the land. The more it is in the reserve the better.

Car

Using matatus in old age can be tasking for your parents especially if they are experiencing health issues.

Buying them a car helps them move from one place to another with ease. If they do not know how to drive you can always enrol them in a driving school.

It is never too late to learn.

House

Being assured that they will always have a place under their roof is something most African parents look forward to.

In case you have been wondering what to give your parents how about building them a house.

This would come in handy especially if your parents are renting.

If not you can always build them a bigger and better house if you are in a position to.

Livestock

If your parents are crazy about rearing livestock such as chickens, pigs, or cows how about gifting them that.

It not only keeps them busy but it ensures they never lack some coins in their pockets.

Vacation

Although most African parents see this as a waste of money take them for a vacation.

This can only be successful if you are also in the mix, if possible tag along with their best friends.

Most parents are not on social media hence they will need somebody to keep them busy na udaku.

Dresses

They may not say it out loud but our parents love wearing good clothes.

They love it when other people ask 'na hiyo nguo ulinunua wapi?' So the next time you pass by a shop buy your mum a good dress.

Do not forget to pick a good shirt or trousers for your dad.

What other git do you think would be appropriate for an African parent?
