15 Christmas gift ideas for your crush who loves tech
A game that stars them 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 →

How to buy tech for someone else
People who love tech often already have what they want. Look at what they use daily and buy the accessory they are missing, or the product they have mentioned more than once. Keep the receipt.
Order dates
Gadgets should be ordered in early December. Subscriptions, gift cards and a custom oin game can be sorted out much later.
What should I get my crush who loves tech for Christmas?

Yes. Subscriptions and gift cards arrive instantly. An oin game is generated automatically after payment and is usually emailed within an hour.
