I Paid My Girlfriend’s Electricity Bills for a Year, but She Seemed Disappointed

My girlfriend recently celebrated her birthday, and I wanted to give her something meaningful. She earns about ₦60,000 monthly and often struggles to pay her electricity bills on time. After our usual birthday outing, I contacted her caretaker and paid her electricity bill for one full year. Her monthly bill is around ₦12,000, so I felt this would remove a major burden from her. She thanked me, but her reaction was hard to read. I got the feeling she may have preferred a more traditional gift such as clothes, a teddy bear, or something romantic. Would you appreciate a practical birthday gift like this, or would you rather receive something more personal and conventional?
