A comedy or theatre night
Tickets for a show, with dinner before. Around $40-150.
A bike ride
Rent bikes for a coastal or park route and pack a picnic. Around $15-50.
A cocktail class
An evening of learning three classic drinks. Around $50-100.
A countdown to the next visit
A small calendar with the day of the next visit circled. Around $5-25.
A call-night box
The same snacks sent to both homes for a shared dinner on a video call. Around $20-60.
A tech afternoon
Visit a gadget store together and let them pick. It costs little.
Buying for a tech lover
Anything with a battery or a port has to fit the gear they already have. 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 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 you want it to arrive tonight
Software subscriptions, digital tickets and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day, wherever they are. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment and plays in a browser, so there is no postage.
Long distance gifts work when they create a shared moment: something to open on a call, a playlist, the same snack at both ends.
What should I get my crush who loves tech when you are long distance?
Wireless headphones, a portable speaker or a tablet stand. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game you can play together over a call.
What is a unique long distance 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, delivered by link wherever they are. It gives them a memory instead of another parcel. 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.
