A home pizza kit
Dough, sauce and a pizza stone for a night in. Around $30-80.

A Wüsthof or Global knife for the kitchen. Around $60-180.
A spice or hot-sauce set
A tasting box of spices or hot sauces. Around $25-60.
A picnic
A blanket, a basket and a bottle somewhere with a view. Around $20-60.
A pie from a good bakery
Ordered ahead for the table. Around $25-50.
A night at the cinema
Tickets, popcorn and a film on their list. Around $20-50.
A snack hamper
A parcel of favourite snacks and treats. Around $30-90.
A gift card for a favourite store
Let them pick the piece. Around $50-200.
A class in something new
A pottery, watercolour or dance class booked for two. Around $40-120.
Buying for a food lover
Think of the meals you share and build around one: the pasta from your first date, the coffee from a favourite cafe, the dessert you always order.
A small gesture tied to a shared meal means more than an expensive hamper.
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 Thanksgiving is tomorrow
Tasting boxes, bakery orders and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, so it can go on the table with the dessert.
Host gifts do not need to be large. A pie, a candle or a plant is enough, and a personal letter matters more.
What should I get my friends who love food for Thanksgiving?
A home pizza kit, a cookbook or a cooking class all work. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game that can still arrive in time.
What is a unique Thanksgiving 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 that says thank you and a closing one at the end. It gives them gratitude in a form they can keep. A game that plays back your best meals together is a good addition.
Can I send my friends a gift online at the last minute?
Yes. Tasting boxes and digital gifts arrive instantly. 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.
