Fuel Their Final Push of the Semester

Finals week is one of the most stressful times of the college year. Late nights in the library, back-to-back exams, and endless studying can leave students exhausted. A thoughtful gift is a great way to show your support from afar. With On Me, you can send coffee, snacks, or a meal right when they need it most. Choose a category, add an encouraging note, and they pick exactly what they want. It's a little boost to help them cross the finish line.

Coffee for early mornings, delivered food for late-night study sessions, and a celebratory treat after the last exam are all perfect finals gifts. On Me gifts arrive by text, email, or a shareable link in minutes. There are no fees, and gifts never expire. They can use their gift during finals or save it for a well-earned celebration.

Caffeine for the Late-Night Study Sessions

Coffee is the unofficial fuel of finals week. A Coffee On Me card lets your student grab a latte before an exam or stock up for late-night study sessions. It works at coffee favorites like Blue Bottle, Caribou Coffee, and Joe Coffee. It's a practical gift that shows you're cheering them on. Add a note wishing them luck on every exam. You've got this.

“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.”

“I love this, adding quick video messages makes a huge difference. It's a gift card I know my friends will actually use!”

“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!”
