Shopping for your husband in San Francisco

In San Francisco, gift shoppers head to Union Square, Hayes Valley, Valencia Street and the Ferry Building Marketplace.

The city is small and hilly, so walking between shops adds up; use the streetcar or a ride, and order online for anything bulky.

Buying for your husband

Husbands often say they want nothing. Take that as a challenge to choose something he would not buy himself.

Add a note that says what you value now, not what you valued then.

If you want to give it today

Flowers, class 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.

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.

A gift that does not depend on San Francisco

Shops in San Francisco cannot sell this one: a pixel game with him as the hero, two letters from you and a quiz about your story. It is emailed, usually within an hour. The final level is set in Almaty today, with New York and Tokyo coming soon.

Yes. A digital gift reaches him instantly wherever he is. An oin game is generated automatically and emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser; flowers are an even quicker option.
