Buying for someone who trains

People who train regularly know their gear. Check the brands and sizes they wear and what they are working towards before you buy. Recovery and class vouchers are safer than equipment you guess at.

A rest-day gift is a nice change of pace.

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

A gift with no date attached says more than one on a deadline. Class vouchers, training vouchers and a personalized game are quick to arrange, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.

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 the gym?

A class pack, a personal training session or a water bottle. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.

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 gives them a gift for the rest day.

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

Yes. Class vouchers and digital gifts arrive the same day. 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.
