Gifts that give back this Giving Tuesday
Send a gift that supports charities, independent bookstores, or secondhand shopping. No fees. Never expires.
Give Twice With One Gift
Some gifts make the recipient happy and do good in the world at the same time. Giving Tuesday is the perfect moment to choose gifts like that. With On Me, you can send a Charity On Me card for direct donations, or choose cards that support independent businesses and secondhand shopping. Your recipient picks exactly how to use it. Add a note about the cause or community you want to support. It's a gift that keeps on giving.
A Reading On Me card can support independent bookstores through Bookshop, while a Thrifting On Me card encourages secondhand shopping at places like ThredUp and Goodwill. The Charity On Me card can go toward organizations like Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Feeding America. Gifts arrive by text, email, or a shareable link in minutes. And because they never expire, your recipient can take their time.

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
“Whether family gifting or corporate gifting, your people will love you for sending this gift.”
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!”

Support Independent Bookstores
Independent bookstores are cornerstones of their communities, hosting author events and championing local voices. A Reading On Me card lets your recipient shop at Bookshop, which shares profits with indie bookstores, or visit favorites like McNally Jackson and BookPeople. Every purchase helps keep those beloved shops thriving. It's a gift for book lovers that also supports local businesses. Add a note recommending your favorite indie bookstore. They'll feel good about every page.
