A star map
A framed sky from a night that matters to you, with a short line underneath. Order a week ahead. Around $25-60.
A Dior fragrance
A Dior fragrance, only if you know it is their scent. Around $90-180.
A spa day
A massage and a quiet afternoon for the two of you. Around $60-200.
An instant camera
A Fujifilm Instax Mini or Polaroid Now for photos they can hold. Around $70-110.
A spontaneous trip
A ticket to a city high on their wish list, booked as a surprise with a printed day-by-day plan. Around $100-600.
A leather wallet or cardholder
A slim wallet in good leather, with initials stamped. Around $30-120.
A snack hamper
A parcel of favourite snacks and treats. Around $30-90.
A midnight toast
A good bottle and two glasses for the stroke of midnight. Around $20-80.
Pyjamas
A soft or silk set, or a matching pair. Check the size. Around $40-120.
An online course
A year of MasterClass or Skillshare, on a topic of their choice. Around $30-200.
Open-when letters
A stack of envelopes, each labelled for a moment: open when you miss me, when you need a laugh, when you cannot sleep. It costs little.
Buying when you are not sure of a hobby
When there is no obvious hobby to buy for, personal beats expensive. A gift built from a memory or an inside joke tells them you were paying attention, which a generic gadget cannot do.
Pick one thing to open, one to use and one to keep.
Buying for your partner
Gifts for a partner work when they reflect the way the two of you live. Notice routines, shared jokes and plans you have made together.
If you are unsure of a taste, an experience for two is safer than an object.
If you are shopping at the last minute
New Year gifts can be small and still feel considered. Spa vouchers, hampers and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Keep it light. After the holidays a small, thoughtful gift is more welcome than a large one.
What should I get my partner for New Year?
A star map, a Dior fragrance or a spa day all work. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game that can still arrive in time.
What is a unique New Year gift for my partner 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 looks ahead. It gives them a memory instead of another object. A playable memory is a good fit when you cannot name one passion.
Can I send my partner a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Spa vouchers and digital gifts can be sent in minutes. 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 partner?
oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your partner, generated from an authorized photo. It is a good fit for a partner who likes a gift that tells your story. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz about the two of you, and plays in a browser with no install.
