Buying for a traveller

If she is always planning the next trip, give a push: a night booked in a city she has talked about, or a voucher toward flights. Small, useful gear works for the trips already booked.

Avoid bulky souvenirs that will not fit in a bag.

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

Hotel vouchers, table bookings 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.

What should I get my wife who loves to travel for New Year?

A road trip, a food tour or a night away voucher. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.

What is a unique New Year gift for my wife that is not just another object?

A playable gift: a small game where she is the hero, with a letter from you at the start and a closing one at the end that looks ahead. It gives her a memory instead of another object. A game that ends in a place you have both been fits the travel mood.

Can I send my wife a gift online at the last minute?

Yes. Hotel vouchers and digital gifts arrive instantly. 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 wife?

oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your wife, generated from an authorized photo. It is a good fit for a wife who likes a gift that tells your story. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz about your life together, and plays in a browser with no install.
