Shopping for your wife in Almaty
In Almaty, gift shoppers head to the Green Bazaar, the pedestrian Zhibek Zholy street known as Arbat, Dostyk Plaza and the Mega Alma-Ata mall.
The metro is limited, so taxis and ride-hailing are the usual way to move between shopping areas, and florists deliver across the city.
Buying for your wife
Gifts for a wife 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 her day easier, as well as what would delight her.
If you are shopping at the last minute
Spa vouchers, hampers 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 Almaty
For someone in Almaty, oin has a bonus: the final level of every game is set in the city. The game is emailed, usually within an hour, so it works even when the shops are closed.
