Living in Nairobi is expensive and inflation is bringing new challenges all the time. If you've been able to put a few shillings aside, here are 5 budget treats we recommend:
Flowers
Nothing can cheer up a room like fresh cut flowers. It's alleged that there is a shop on Moi Avenue (at Krishan Mansion opposite Jeevanjee) where all the gift shops in the cbd get their bouquets. Kshs 400 can get you some nice rose stems.

Cocktails
Cafe Kaya at Viking house in Westlands has 3 for 1 happy hour cocktails everyday of the week from 4pm-7pm for 1000 bob. These cocktails are all the rage on social media so you might want to get there early.

Acrylic Nails
Trying to keep up with the hottest nail trends in Nairobi but can't imagine spending 3000 bob on some acrylics? Fear not. This Nail shop in Ronald Ngala has some of the cheapest prices in town. You can get a mini mani, acrylics tips and gel polish all at 1000 bob! Or you can skip the mini mani and get the tips and gel polish for 500 bob.
Dance Nights
Every Thursday night at Nairobi Street Kitchen, Nairobi Dance Factory hosts dance night. Everything from Hip Hop to Salsa and the best part is…it's free! Meet Nairobi's funnest crowd and dance the night away.
Full Face Makeup
Got a big event coming up and need your face beat to the gods? This shop at HH towers is offering full face makeup including HD lashes at 999 bob.
