Buying for a car lover

A true enthusiast usually has the basics, so go for something with a story: a diecast of a dream car, a Lego Technic build or a day on a circuit.

Experiences usually beat accessories here.

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 the ceremony is tomorrow

Digital tickets and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Pair one with a card with a few words on how proud you are.

Graduation is a milestone, so a gift for the next chapter, practical or sentimental, tends to land. Work, travel and a keepsake are the three classics.

What should I get my friends who love cars for their graduation?

A Lego Technic supercar, a road trip or a car magazine subscription. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with friendly roast NPCs.

What is a unique graduation 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 that celebrates the degree. It gives them a memory instead of another object. A game with them behind the wheel of your story suits the mood.

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

Yes. Digital tickets and digital gifts arrive instantly. 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.
