Celebrate Their Birthday From Afar

Missing a loved one's birthday because of distance is hard. You can't be there to blow out the candles or take them to dinner, but you can still make their day special. A thoughtful gift that arrives right on time shows you didn't forget. With On Me, you can schedule a gift to arrive on their birthday, with no shipping delays. Choose a category that fits them, add a birthday message, and they pick exactly what they want. It's the next best thing to celebrating together.

Long-distance birthday gifts work for partners, friends, family, and college students alike. On Me gifts arrive by text, email, or a shareable link. There are no fees, and gifts never expire. Your loved one can celebrate on their birthday or save their treat for later.

Let Them Choose Their Birthday Treat

It's hard to know exactly what someone wants when you're far away. The Choice On Me card lets them select the card they want to redeem for their birthday.

It's a birthday gift that always fits.

“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.”
