The Detty December Gift Guide

Five gifts worth sending this December

Ranked by how well they land for someone actually in Lagos during December.

01
🃏

The Lagos Card

Best Overall

The most versatile Detty December gift you can send. The Lagos Card is accepted at 200+ venues across Lagos — restaurants, spas, beach clubs, hotels. The recipient decides where to spend it, which means it fits perfectly into whatever Detty December plans they've already made. Send it from your phone to theirs in minutes.

Why it works: Works for any personality, any itinerary, any December plan. No guessing required.

A Spa Day Gift

Best for Mum

December in Lagos is chaotic. Everyone is everywhere, hosting is relentless and the city doesn't stop. A spa day is the gift that acknowledges this — it says 'you deserve a day off from Detty December.' Use the Lagos Card to cover any spa across VI, Lekki and Ikoyi.

Why it works: Perfect for mums, aunties and anyone who's been doing too much all year.
03
🏖️

A Beach Club Day

Best Experience

Landmark Beach at Christmas is its own Lagos experience — the music, the crowd, the Atlantic and the city's most beautiful people all in one place. A Lagos Card covers the entry, the food and the drinks. It's the Detty December gift that is the Detty December experience.

Why it works: Nobody has ever regretted spending a December day at a Lagos beach club.

🍽️

A Dinner at Their Favourite Lagos Restaurant

Most Personal

You know where they love to go. Nok by Alara, Cactus, Crafted Grill — whatever it is. The Lagos Card covers it. The gift is: go to your favourite restaurant in Lagos this December, on me.

Why it works: The most personal version of a gift card — when you know their taste.
05
🏨

A Lagos Staycation

Most Memorable

Staycations are having a moment in Lagos. A night at The George, Eko Hotel or Radisson Blu during Detty December is a genuine treat — room service, pool, spa, restaurant and the city happening outside the window. The Lagos Card covers it. For couples, for a solo reset, for a birthday that falls in December.

Why it works: The gift they'll post about and talk about for years.
