Flowers
A bouquet delivered to the door with a handwritten card. Around $25-80.
A career book
A well-reviewed book on starting out at work. Around $15-30.
A sunrise walk
Wake early, take coffee in a flask and walk somewhere with a view. It costs little.
A handwritten letter
Say what you value about them, in your own words, on good paper. It costs little.
Buying for a tech lover
Tech lovers care about compatibility. Check which ecosystem they use, phone, laptop and earbuds, before you buy accessories. Accessories are safer than devices they may already own.
Software and subscriptions are easy to get right.
Buying for your crush
A gift for a crush should be low-pressure. Keep it light and small, and pick something that matches what you already know about them.
Avoid anything expensive or intimate, which can make a first move feel heavy.
If the ceremony is tomorrow
Software subscriptions, flowers and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Pair one with a card with a few words on how proud you are.
Consider whether the budget is better spent on a party or a gift. A personal note about what you saw along the way costs nothing and is remembered.
What should I get my crush who loves tech for their graduation?
A password manager plan, a digital photo frame or a Kindle all work. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.
What is a unique graduation gift for my crush 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 that celebrates the degree. It gives them a memory instead of another object. A game is software they have never seen before.
Can I send my crush a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Software subscriptions 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 crush?
oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your crush, generated from an authorized photo. It can be a good low-pressure gift for a crush, because it is playful and does not have to say everything at once. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz, and plays in a browser with no install.
