A spontaneous trip
A ticket to a city high on their wish list, booked as a surprise with a printed day-by-day plan. Around $100-600.

Leather tags and a printed packing list for the next trip. Around $10-40.
Travel gear
A carry-on from Away or Samsonite, or a packing-cube set and a leather passport holder. Around $40-250.
A picnic
A blanket, a basket and a bottle somewhere with a view. Around $20-60.
A trip fund
A jar, a plan and the first deposit for a trip you pick together. Around $20-100.
A food tour
A guided walk through a food market or a street-food district. Around $40-100.
A map of the places

Monogrammed stationery
Personal notecards with initials. Around $20-50.
A gift card for a favourite store
Let them pick the piece. Around $50-200.
A playlist from everyone
One song from each person, shared as a link. It costs nothing.
A stargazing night
A blanket, a flask and a dark spot away from the city lights. It costs little.
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
A gift for a group needs to work for several tastes. Choose something shareable, like a game night, a hamper or an experience, and keep it affordable.
Agree on a budget first so nobody feels left out.
If the goodbye is this week
Goodbyes come around fast. Gift cards and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Bring the group in on it. A shared card or a message from everyone matters more than the object.
What should I get my friends who love to travel as a goodbye?
A spontaneous trip, luggage tags and a packing list or travel gear. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.
What is a unique going-away 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, small enough to carry as a link. It gives them a memory instead of more luggage. 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. Gift cards 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. It can work for friends who like a joke, because the quiz can be built from the memories you share. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz, and plays in a browser with no install.
