A portable charger
An Anker power bank that fits the bag. Around $25-70.
A custom photo puzzle
A 1,000-piece puzzle made from a photo of you both. Around $20-50.
Roses
A dozen long-stemmed roses, or their favourite flower if roses are not the thing. Around $40-100.
A candle
Soy wax from Diptyque, Jo Malone London or Yankee, in a scent they will like. Around $20-80.
A star map
A framed sky from a night that matters to you, with a short line underneath. Order a week ahead. Around $25-60.
A tech afternoon
Visit a gadget store together and let them pick. It costs little.
Notes hidden around the house
Small notes tucked into a coat, a book and the fridge. It costs nothing.
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
When you are not yet together, humour and thoughtfulness beat grand gestures. A small gift tied to something they mentioned shows you listened.
Make it easy for them to say thank you without having to say more.
If you left it late
Roses and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day, even on the 14th. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment. Pair one with a handwritten card and they still have something to open.
Restaurants and flowers sell out around the 14th, so book a week ahead if you can. A home dinner with a good playlist is a real alternative.
What should I get my crush who loves tech for Valentine’s Day?
A tech accessory kit, wireless headphones or a tablet stand all work. For a personal touch, add a personalized pixel game that can still arrive in time.
What is a unique Valentine’s Day 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. It gives them a Valentine’s 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. Roses 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 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.
