December runs seven weeks deep across most of the cities RibbonsXP operates in β birthdays, office parties, Christmas itself, New Year's Eve, and the diaspora arrivals in between. Most gifting platforms treat that stretch as one undifferentiated "festive season" push. We don't: every card below is built for a specific moment inside December, not a generic version of the whole month.
Picnics are the hands-on, stations-based family and singles format that runs the whole month. Date Nights is the monthly recurring dining line that launches here and continues year-round. Christmas covers the three sittings for the day itself. New Year spans the scarce countdown dinner through to the morning-after brunch. And Diaspora & Private covers Welcome Home Dinner and the Private Chef Experience β built around arrivals and exclusivity rather than a fixed date.
Every card follows the same mechanics as RibbonsXP's existing spa, restaurant and hotel credits: instant email delivery, valid 6 months, and the recipient chooses their own date rather than being locked into one the giver picked for them. Where a card isn't open for live booking yet, registering interest gets an email the moment it is β including which city, since December is being built out city by city, not all at once.
Picnics
Playful, daytimeNot a bouncy castle and a buffet β a rotating menu of hands-on, facilitator-led stations. Every kiddie party in Lagos already has an inflatable; nothing here competes on that.
Date Nights
Romantic, evening Β· recurring monthlyBreakfast, lunch and dinner tiers at partner restaurants, no venue rental required. December runs every weekend across all three β the launch window for a monthly product that continues year-round.
Christmas
Premium, traditionalBreakfast, lunch and dinner sittings for Dec 25 specifically β the same dining-credit mechanics as Date Night, priced and marketed around one fixed date.
New Year
Celebratory, sleekFrom the scarcity anchor of the whole catalogue to the morning-after nobody else is building for β three ways to close out the year and start the next one properly.
Diaspora & Private
Exclusive, consideredA dinner gifted before someone's flight lands, and the one card on this page that outlives December entirely β a dedicated chef, one table, year-round.

Questions about December
Is December by RibbonsXP the same as Detty December?
No β Detty December is editorial content about the season. December by RibbonsXP is a catalogue of bookable, giftable experience credits: picnics, date nights, Christmas sittings, New Year specials and private dining.
Can I gift a December card to someone abroad?
Yes β every card is delivered instantly by email, so you can send one to someone anywhere in the world for them to book once they're on the ground. Welcome Home Dinner is built specifically for this.
What happens if I can't make the date I picked?
Standard cards are valid for 6 months from purchase, so most can be rebooked within that window. Scarce cards (NYE Countdown, Private Chef) run on real, limited capacity β once a seat is booked, it's held against that seat specifically.
Are these cards bookable right now?
Not yet β this is the marketing catalogue ahead of checkout going live. Register interest on any card and we'll email you the moment it opens for booking.
Is every card backed by RibbonsXP's Concierge Guarantee?
Yes β the same guarantee that backs every RibbonsXP gift card applies here once booking opens. Read the Concierge Guarantee in full.
