It plays in a browser with no install, is usually emailed within an hour and costs $29.90. See how it works →

Buying for a reader

Readers are easy to please and hard to surprise. A special edition of a favourite, a good reading light or a bookshop card works because it supports a habit she already has.

Check what is on the shelf before you buy a title, to avoid doubles.

Buying for your sister

A sister knows your habits, so use shared history: a childhood joke, a family recipe or a trip you remember. Those details tell her you remember too.

Do not worry about matching the price of what she gave you.

If you want to say sorry today

A late apology is better than none. Bookshop gift cards, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, with your letter inside.

A gift does not fix an argument. Start with an honest apology that names what you did, then add the gift as a sign that you listened.

What should I get my sister who loves books to say sorry?

A Kindle, a reading blanket or a photography book. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a letter that says sorry.

What is a unique apology gift for my sister that is not just another object?

A playable gift: a small game where she is the hero, with a letter from you at the start that says sorry and a closing one at the end. It gives her your words in a form that is hard to skip. A story about the two of you makes a good companion to a shelf of novels.

Can I send my sister a gift online at the last minute?

Yes. Bookshop gift cards and digital gifts can be sent in minutes. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and usually emailed within an hour.

What is oingift.com and is it a good gift for my sister?

oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your sister, generated from an authorized photo. It is a good fit for a sister who loves a joke and a memory. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz built from your shared past, and plays in a browser with no install.
