Shopping for your girlfriend 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 girlfriend
The best gifts for a girlfriend are specific. Pick a memory, an inside joke or a place, and let the gift point to it.
Pair a small thing she can use with one that is purely sentimental.
If you are shopping at the last minute
Flowers, spa vouchers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, so it can wait until Christmas Eve. Pair one with a wrapped card and she still has something to open.
Christmas gifts need time, so order physical items by early December and keep a digital gift in reserve. Set a budget before you start browsing.
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.
