A pixel game you can play together over a call Our product
oin turns your story into a small 2D pixel game with him as the main character, generated from an authorized photo, plus two custom NPCs made from authorized photos with consent. Two letters from you open and close it, a 5-question quiz about your life apart and together rewards flowers for correct answers, and the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon. It plays in a browser with no install, is usually emailed within an hour and costs $29.90. See how it works →
A subscription box
A monthly box of tea, snacks or books sent to his door, so there is something to look forward to every month. Around $20-50.
A year of postcards
One postcard a week from wherever you are, posted to him. Cheap, slow and kept. Around $10-30.
A care package
A parcel of snacks, a candle and a few small things from your city. Check customs rules and allow 1-3 weeks for an international parcel. Around $30-90.
A countdown to the next visit
A shared countdown on your phones, with a small surprise to open at each milestone. It costs nothing.
A co-op game to play together
A game made for two, such as a cooperative puzzle or farming game. Buy one copy each and plan a weekly session. Around $15-60.
A film night on a call
Pick a film, press play at the same time and talk through it. Streaming services each have a watch-together option or you can use a screen share. It costs little.
An online class together
A cooking, language or drawing class you take at the same time, from your own homes. Around $20-100.
Los Angeles to Toronto: the time difference
Toronto is about 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles, so 8 pm in Toronto is roughly 5 pm in Los Angeles. The gap shifts by an hour for part of the year when the clocks change.
With so little time difference, you can share an evening without anyone staying up late.
What a parcel across the border costs you
A parcel from Los Angeles to Toronto crosses a border, so allow one to three weeks and check customs rules for food, liquids and anything with a battery. A digital gift has none of that.
Buying for your husband
Gifts for a husband are about shared history. A detail from the early years, a place you keep returning to or a habit only you know carries more weight than price.
Think about what would make his day easier, as well as what would delight him.
If you want to give it today
Gift cards, flowers 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 he said recently, and say why you chose it in a short note.
Opening it together on a call
Pick a slot when you are both free, send the link and stay on the call while he plays. The quiz makes a good conversation, because only the two of you know the answers.
The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon.
What can I send my husband in Toronto from Los Angeles without shipping?
A countdown to the next visit and a co-op game to play together both work without shipping, and a personalized pixel game can be emailed to you, usually within an hour, and forwarded to as a link.
What is a gift we can enjoy together across the distance?
A shared moment, not just an object: a pixel game you open together on a call, a film night or a co-op game. With oin, he plays while you watch or read out the quiz, and the final level is set in Almaty today.
How fast does a digital gift reach Toronto?
Instantly. A digital gift reaches Toronto the moment you send it. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and emailed to you, usually within an hour, then you forward the private link. There is no courier, no customs and no waiting for a delivery window.
