Speaking in a recent interview with SammyKay media, Akwaboah disclosed that ladies should stop the practice of gifting their partners boxer shorts and buy more cherished gifts for their lovers.

According to him, repeating the same gifts every year can be disappointing. He advised ladies to try gifts such as perfumes, PS5s and the like.

“We are tired of the boxers. Buy more expensive gifts for your partners this year. Even with the boxer shorts, they buy the less expensive ones. After a few days of using them, it starts to wear out,” he said.
