A favourite snack, delivered
The treat they always pick, sent without a reason. Around $10-30.

A jar of compliments
Fifty small notes on what you like about them. It costs little.
Buying for a gamer
Gamers are particular about platforms and peripherals, so check what they play on before buying hardware. Store cards, subscriptions and desk upgrades are safer than a console or a pad you guess at.
A game made about them is the one gift they cannot buy for themself.
Buying for your crush
When you are not yet together, humour and thoughtfulness beat grand gestures. A small gift tied to something they mentioned shows you listened.
Make it easy for them to say thank you without having to say more.
If you want to give it today
A gift with no date attached says more than one on a deadline. Game subscriptions, game store cards and a personalized game are quick to arrange, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
There is no deadline, which lets you order things that take a week to arrive. Pair a quick digital gift with something that needs shipping.
What should I get my crush who loves video games?
A gaming headset, a game subscription or a game cafe visit all work. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with them as the hero.
What is a unique gift for my crush that is not just another object?
A playable gift: a small game where they are the hero, with a letter from you at the start and a closing one at the end. It gives them a memory instead of another object. A personal game fits because it is a game made only for them.
Can I send my crush a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Game subscriptions 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 crush?
oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your crush, generated from an authorized photo. It can be a good low-pressure gift for a crush, because it is playful and does not have to say everything at once. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz, and plays in a browser with no install.
