Buying for an anime fan

Anime merchandise ranges from cheap keyrings to collector figures. Set a budget first, then choose from shows you have seen them watch, not what looks popular.

Official releases hold their value better than knock-offs.

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 your anniversary is tomorrow

Course vouchers, streaming subscriptions 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 and they still have something to open.

Traditional gift lists by year, paper, cotton, leather and so on, can give you a direction if you like rules. Break them if you have a better idea.

What should I get my partner who loves anime for your anniversary?

A Japanese course, a manga box set or a streaming subscription. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with an appreciation letter.

What is a unique anniversary 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, built from the years you have shared. It gives them a memory instead of another object. A game with pixel characters of the two of you is a natural fit.

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

Yes. Course 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.
