A pixel game with an appreciation letter Our product
oin turns your story into a small 2D pixel game with her as the main character, generated from an authorized photo, plus two custom NPCs made from authorized photos with consent. Two letters from you open and close it, and one can say what you appreciate, a 5-question quiz about what you value in her rewards flowers for correct answers, and the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan; New York and Tokyo are coming soon. It plays in a browser with no install, is usually emailed within an hour and costs $29.90. See how it works →
An instant camera
A Fujifilm Instax Mini or Polaroid Now for photos she can hold. Around $70-110.
An experience day
A hot-air balloon ride, a pottery workshop or an escape room, booked for a date you pick together. Around $50-250.
A spontaneous trip
A ticket to a city high on her wish list, booked as a surprise with a printed day-by-day plan. Around $100-600.
A Dior fragrance
Dior J’adore or Miss Dior, only if you know it is her scent. Around $90-180.
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 birthday dinner
A table booked at her favourite restaurant, with a small surprise at dessert. Around $60-200.
A fruit and cheese basket
Fruit, cheese and crackers in a basket delivered to the door. Around $35-80.
A home pizza kit
Dough, sauce and a pizza stone for a night in. Around $30-80.
Open-when letters
A stack of envelopes, each labelled for a moment: open when you miss me, when you need a laugh, when you cannot sleep. It costs little.
A poem, even a bad one
Four lines in your own words beat a printed card. It costs nothing.
A phone-free day
A day with no screens, planned in advance. It costs nothing.
Shopping for your fiancée in Toronto
Good places to browse in Toronto include Kensington Market, Queen Street West, Yorkville and St. Lawrence Market.
The subway and streetcars cover the downtown shops, and the PATH walkway links many of them underground when it is cold.
Buying for your fiancée
A gift for your fiancée can look ahead as well as back. Mark the engagement with something that points to the wedding or the life you are building.
Keep a budget in mind, because wedding costs add up quickly.
If you left it late
Valentine’s Day is the busiest day for flowers and restaurants, so book now. Table bookings, baskets and a personalized game arrive fast, and an oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment.
Valentine’s Day gifts compete with everyone else’s, so personal beats expensive. A card in your own words does more than a large bouquet from a florist who is rushed.
A gift that does not depend on Toronto
Shops in Toronto cannot sell this one: a pixel game with her as the hero, two letters from you and a quiz about your story. It is emailed, usually within an hour. The final level is set in Almaty today, with New York and Tokyo coming soon.
Where can I get a last-minute Valentine’s Day gift for my fiancée in Toronto?
Browse Kensington Market, Queen Street West, Yorkville and St. Lawrence Market, or order something that arrives the same day: table bookings, baskets and a personalized game. The subway and streetcars cover the downtown shops, and the PATH walkway links many of them underground when it is cold.
Can I send my fiancée in Toronto a digital gift?
Yes. A digital gift reaches her instantly wherever she is. An oin game is generated automatically and emailed to you, usually within an hour, as a private link that works in any browser; table bookings are an even quicker option.
Does oin have a final level set in Toronto?
Not at the moment. Today the final level is set in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and New York and Tokyo are coming soon. The game itself can still be sent to anyone in Toronto as a link.
