An experience voucher
A voucher him can redeem for a day out, from a provider such as Virgin Experience Days. Around $40-200.
Pyjamas

A work wardrobe voucher
A gift card for the first smart outfit. Around $50-200.
A video of messages
Short clips from friends and family, stitched into one video. It costs nothing.
Buying for a tech lover
Anything with a battery or a port has to fit the gear he already has. A smart lamp, a power bank or a stand is a safer pick than a flagship device.
Ask a friend for a model number if you are unsure.
Buying for your dad
Dads often say they need nothing, so look at what he does with free time: a project, a team, a hobby. A gift that supports it shows you noticed.
A note that says thank you is a gift of its own.
If the ceremony is tomorrow
Experience vouchers, gift cards 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 dad who loves tech for his graduation?
A portable speaker, a tech accessory kit or a smart speaker. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game with a quiz of your inside jokes.
What is a unique graduation gift for my dad that is not just another object?
A playable gift: a small game where he is the hero, with a letter from you at the start and a closing one at the end that celebrates the degree. It gives him a memory instead of another object. A game is software he has never seen before.
Can I send my dad a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Experience vouchers and digital gifts arrive the same day. 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 dad?
oingift.com is where you order oin, a personalized 2D pixel game starring your dad, generated from an authorized photo. It is a good fit for a dad who likes a personal gift. It includes two letters and a 5-question quiz built from family memories, and plays in a browser with no install, so there is nothing to set up.
