  1. It's the most expensive TikTok gift you can send. Without any first-time coin purchase bonuses, it will cost you around $600 to get enough coins to buy the Universe (if you buy two of the 16,500 coin bundles and one of the 6,607 coin bundles).
    • If you still have a first-time coin purchase bonus available, it will be a bit cheaper to purchase the coins to buy a TikTok Universe.

  1. A TikTok Universe is the most expensive gift that you can send on TikTok. As such, it's always a big deal when one is sent—so much so that the app will announce whenever a creator gets a Universe.
  2. Since a Universe is so expensive, it usually ends up getting the creator more views on their LIVE and a bunch of new followers.[1] It's also a huge display of how much you love a creator's content, since you're willing to spend that much money on a gift for them.
    • However, TikTok creators don't get the majority of your donation when you send a Universe. If this is a concern for you, check if your favorite creator has a Patreon or Ko-Fi where you can either subscribe monthly to support their work or send them a monetary tip to show your appreciation for their work.
    • If you are considering sending a TikTok Universe simply because you want a streamer to notice you or become romantically interested in you, it's not worth it to send a Universe. Learn how to identify the signs of a parasocial relationship.
    • If you're under 18 or can't afford a TikTok Universe, it's also not worth it. Learn how to spend responsibly.

  1. There are a few rules and policies that TikTok has when it comes to sending gifts:
    • You must be 18 or older (19 or older in South Korea) to purchase coins and send gifts
    • Gifts are not available in all countries
    • Gifts can't be sent to or from government, political, or other public interest accounts
  2. While you can also send gifts in the comments of a video, the Universe isn't available as a video gift.[2]
  3. If you don't have enough coins to buy the gift you want to send, tap the Recharge button (directly to the left of the Gift button) and purchase more coins.
  4. The TikTok Universe is a bit low on the list, so you'll need to scroll a little bit.
  5. The gift will immediately be sent, and the coins will be deducted from your account.
