Help Them Settle Into Their New Home

Watching your adult child move to a new city for a job, school, or a fresh start is exciting and a little bittersweet. They're building their own life, but they still need support as they get settled. A thoughtful gift helps make their new place feel like home. With On Me, you can send something practical in minutes, without guessing what they already have. Choose a category, add a proud parent note, and they pick exactly what they want. It's support that shows up right when they need it.

New apartments often need the basics, from kitchen gear to cozy décor. Your child might also appreciate a dinner out to explore their new neighborhood. On Me gifts arrive by text, email, or a shareable link. There are no fees, and gifts never expire.

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”
