Buying for a traveller
Travellers value experiences and good gear. A weekend away, a passport holder or a scratch-off map suits the restlessness without adding clutter to a packed suitcase.
Check the dates before you book anything that depends on them.
Buying for your friends
Group gifts work best when everyone has a part in them. A shared card or a joint present from the whole circle means more than a single item.
Pick something that suits the mood of the group, not one person.
If you want to give it today
Cinema vouchers, snack deliveries and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, and it needs no occasion: a gift on an ordinary day tends to be remembered longer.
There is no deadline, which lets you order things that take a week to arrive. Pair a quick digital gift with something that needs shipping.
What should I get my friends who love to travel?
A day trip, a road trip or a weekend getaway. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.
What is a unique gift for my friends 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. It gives them 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 friends a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Cinema 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 friends?
oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your friends, generated from an authorized photo.
