A spa day

A Dior fragrance
A Dior fragrance, only if you know it is their scent. Around $90-180.
A piece from a favourite brand
A jumper or jacket from Uniqlo, COS or Arket. Check their size. Around $60-250.
Flowers
A bouquet delivered to the door with a handwritten card. Around $25-80.
Tickets to a match
Seats at a live game for a team close to their heart. Around $40-200.

Dinner, a film and a short walk home, all booked in advance. Around $40-150.
A well-made tote
A canvas or leather tote they will carry daily. Around $30-120.
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.
A jar of resolutions
Write one each, seal it and open it next year. It costs little.
Shopping for your partner in London
In London, gift shoppers head to Covent Garden, Marylebone High Street, Liberty and, on Sundays, the Columbia Road Flower Market.
The Tube and buses make a lunch-break shopping trip easy, and same-day delivery covers the centre, so a late gift is still possible.
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
Spa vouchers, flowers 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 London
An oin game does not depend on where they live. It is emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser in London or anywhere else. The final level you can play today is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon.
Where can I get a last-minute New Year gift for my partner in London?
Browse Covent Garden, Marylebone High Street, Liberty and, on Sundays, the Columbia Road Flower Market, or order something that arrives the same day: spa vouchers, flowers and a personalized game. The Tube and buses make a lunch-break shopping trip easy, and same-day delivery covers the centre, so a late gift is still possible.
Can I send my partner in London a digital gift?
Yes. A digital gift reaches them instantly wherever they are. An oin game is generated automatically and emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser; spa vouchers are an even quicker option.
Does oin have a final level set in London?
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 London as a link.
