College care package ideas without the shipping hassle
Send a digital care package they can spend on treats, coffee, meals, or self-care. No fees. Never expires.
A Modern Twist on the Classic Care Package
Care packages are a beloved college tradition, but they come with challenges. Boxes can be expensive to ship, get stuck in crowded mailrooms, or arrive with crushed cookies. A digital care package solves all of that while still feeling personal. With On Me, you can send treats, meals, or self-care that your student can use right away. Choose a category, add an encouraging note, and they pick exactly what they want. It's all the love of a care package, delivered instantly.
You can send a sweet treat for a tough week, a coffee for late-night studying, or a self-care night to help them recharge. On Me gifts arrive by text, email, or a shareable link. There are no fees, and gifts never expire. Send one anytime they need a reminder that home is cheering them on.

Sweet Treats Without the Crushed Cookies
Homemade cookies are a care package classic, but they don't always survive the trip. A Dessert On Me card lets your student pick up fresh treats from brands like Baked by Melissa, Ben & Jerry's, and Dylan's Candy Bar. It's a fun way to brighten a stressful week. They can share with roommates or keep it all to themselves. Add a note with your favorite family recipe for later. It's sweetness that arrives fresh.

Loved by people everywhere
“Fantastic option for thoughtful gifts without the pressure of locking someone into something that they feel obligated to keep/use even if they don't like it.”
Grant King
“Works great to send a little pick me up to college kids when you never quite know how they will spend it, but know what things they like. Has been seamless. Thanks!”
Chris Lagerbloom
“On Me is my lifesaver when it comes to gifting friends and families — so many places and types of cards to choose from.”
Alaweyah Habhab

Gretchen
“Great concept and so easy to gift! Also has a great list of vendors available.”
Amelia Palmer
“I just think this was the best idea anyone has had in forever. I've been giving gift cards for Christmas for years & it's always a struggle to get the right one for everybody. On Me solved my dilemma & I can order from them every year. And everyone is happy, especially me!”
Carolyn Nickolauson
“I love it! I've always wanted to gift people I love, but I haven't been able to hit the sweet spot of finding "exactly what would spark joy". As soon as I learnt about it, I tried it for my partner and my sister.”
Ranganath Narayan
“I love this, adding quick video messages makes a huge difference. It's a gift card I know my friends will actually use!”
Katyanna Quach
“As a senior retiree, my thumbs don't go at Mach 1, and I don't always find apps easy to use. But I found this one very intuitive. Choosing a category like hiking makes me feel like I at least put a little effort into knowing what types of gift the recipient would want.”

“As someone who lives out of state from friends and family, On Me has been a great tool for making sure I don't miss the opportunity to make my loved ones feel special for birthdays and other celebrations. Love this service!”
