Shopping for your boyfriend in Sydney
Good places to browse in Sydney include Surry Hills, Paddington, The Rocks and the Queen Victoria Building.
The train and ferry network gets you around the harbour, and the weekend markets are worth a morning if the gift is not urgent.
Buying for your boyfriend
Gifts for a boyfriend work when they match what he actually uses. Notice what he already has and what he keeps mentioning.
If he says he wants nothing, choose something he would not buy himself.
If you are shopping at the last minute
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. Pair one with a handwritten note about the year ahead.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
A gift that does not depend on Sydney
Shops in Sydney 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.
Where can I get a last-minute New Year gift for my boyfriend in Sydney?
Browse Surry Hills, Paddington, The Rocks and the Queen Victoria Building, or order something that arrives the same day: flowers, class vouchers and a personalized game. The train and ferry network gets you around the harbour, and the weekend markets are worth a morning if the gift is not urgent.
Can I send my boyfriend in Sydney a digital gift?
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.
Does oin have a final level set in Sydney?
Not at the moment. Today the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and New York and Tokyo are coming soon. The game itself can still be sent to anyone in Sydney as a link.
