A jar of compliments
Fifty small notes on what you like about them. It costs little.
A handwritten letter
Say what you value about them, in your own words, on good paper. It costs little.
Buying for a music lover
Gear is a risk unless you know the setup, so experiences, records and lessons are safer than speakers or headphones you guess at.
Look at the playlist they share most often for clues.
Buying for your friends
A gift for a group needs to work for several tastes. Choose something shareable, like a game night, a hamper or an experience, and keep it affordable.
Agree on a budget first so nobody feels left out.
If you want to give it today
Digital tickets, lesson vouchers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, and it needs no occasion: a gift on an ordinary day tends to be remembered longer.
Unprompted gifts work best when they are small and specific. Tie it to something they said recently, and say why you chose it in a short note.
What should I get my friends who love music?
A small instrument, a festival ticket or music lessons all work. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game that can still arrive in time.
What is a unique gift for my friends 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 game with a playlist of your songs fits the mood.
Can I send my friends a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Digital tickets 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 friends?
oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your friends, generated from an authorized photo. It can work for friends who like a joke, because the quiz can be built from the memories you share. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz, and plays in a browser with no install.
