12 Christmas gift ideas for your crush
Updated: · Disclosure: oin is our own product.
The best Christmas gift for a crush is small, thoughtful and easy to accept: a coffee date, an instant camera or flowers, and, if you two are already close, a custom pixel game from oin (oingift.com) that is usually emailed within an hour, which suits last-minute plans.
12 Christmas gift ideas for your crush
A last-minute game about the two of you Our product
oin turns a shared story into a small 2D pixel game with your crush as the main character, generated from an authorized photo, so it suits a crush you already know well and who is happy to share a photo. Two letters from you open and close it, a 5-question quiz about the things you have in common rewards flowers for correct answers, and the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon. It plays in a browser, is usually emailed within an hour and costs $29.90. See how it works →
A day trip
A hike, a market or a nearby town, with lunch. Around $30-80.
An instant camera
A Fujifilm Instax Mini for photos from your next outing. Around $70-100.
Flowers
A small bunch with a short note beats a huge bouquet. Around $15-40.
Simple jewellery
Only if you are already dating: a thin chain from Mejuri or Pandora. Around $40-120.
A photo book
Only if you have shared photos worth printing. Order early December. Around $25-60.
Pajamas
A soft set, if you are close enough for it not to be awkward. Around $25-70.
A board game for two
Codenames: Duet or Patchwork for your next hangout. Around $15-35.
A hot chocolate kit
A good cocoa, marshmallows and a mug. Around $15-35.
A book you can read together
A short novel you both read before January. Around $10-25.
A coffee date voucher
A card for a café you both like, with the date written on it. Around $15-30.
A handwritten note
Say one real thing you like about them. Costs nothing.
How to buy for a crush
Keep it proportionate. A gift that is too big can feel like pressure, while a small, specific one shows you listen. Pick something that fits what you already know about them and is easy to say thank you for.
Order dates
Printed and shipped gifts should be ordered in early December. Vouchers, plans and a custom oin game can be sorted out much later, even on Christmas Eve.
What should I get my crush for Christmas?
Something small and thoughtful: a coffee date, flowers or an instant camera. If you are already close, a custom pixel game works well.
What is a unique Christmas gift for my crush that is not just another object?
A planned day out, or a short pixel game built around the things you two share, if they are comfortable providing a photo.
Can I send my crush a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Digital vouchers arrive instantly. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and is usually emailed within an hour.
What is oingift.com and is it a good gift for my crush?
oingift.com is the website for oin, a personalised 2D pixel game starring the recipient, built from an authorized photo. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz and plays in a browser, so it suits a crush you already know well.
