Shopping for your crush in Singapore

In Singapore, gift shoppers head to Orchard Road, Haji Lane and Tiong Bahru.

The MRT is fast and air-conditioned, and shops stay open into the evening, so a gift is rarely out of reach.

Buying for your crush

A gift for a crush should be low-pressure. Keep it light and small, and pick something that matches what you already know about them.

Avoid anything expensive or intimate, which can make a first move feel heavy.

If the birthday is tomorrow

Leaving it late is easy to fix: Flowers, class vouchers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Add a cake or a card for the table.

Think of the day as a whole: a morning surprise, a gift at dinner and something for the evening. A single gift rarely feels like enough on its own.

A gift that does not depend on Singapore

An oin game does not depend on where they live. It is emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser in Singapore or anywhere else. The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon.
