And one of these basics is symbolising love through gifting.

"You honestly can not convince me, Lucky, that you can be in a relationship, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, and wife for more than six months and you have never bought your partner anything, any gift at all and you claim that you love them, like, how?" Mbabazi wondered in a TikTok video.
"Because a gift is actually a representation of thoughts... it's not about being materialistic, and a gift doesn't have to be so big. Like, you haven't walked through a shop and you see a nice thing and stopped and said, Ummm, I think this would look good on my man, or this would look good on my woman!" she went on.
"Like you haven't, in six months, two years, in her wardrobe, there is nothing that you have bought for her apart from if you are mean, honestly if they have never bought you anything, any gift at all!"
Mbabazi, who hosts a YouTube show called Kachai with Lucky, has said for a person to be loved, they have to love themselves first.
"You have to learn to love yourself... People who know me know that I love myself, and If I love myself, I'm going to keep myself looking good," she said.
"And if you feel good, it's very easy for you to pass on the same energy. There is no human being, especially men, who doesn't love good energy."
According to Mbabazi, it's a lack of self-love that makes women worry about their men being snatched when they see them with other women.
