Long-distance gifts for grandparents who miss the grandkids
Send a gift they can spend on gardening, books, dinner, or a trip to visit. No fees. Never expires.
Love Across the Generations
Grandparents who live far away often miss the everyday moments, from school plays to soccer games. A thoughtful gift is a heartwarming way to stay connected between visits. It's even better when it comes with a note or drawing from the grandkids. With On Me, you can send something they'll enjoy without worrying about shipping or delivery. Choose a category that fits their hobbies, and they pick exactly what they want. It's a little love that travels instantly.
Grandparents might enjoy tending their garden, reading a new book, or a dinner out with friends. On Me gifts arrive by text, email, or a shareable link that's easy to print and tuck into a card. There are no fees, and gifts never expire. They can enjoy their gift at their own pace.

Something to Grow While You're Apart
Many grandparents love spending time in the garden. A Gardening On Me card lets them pick out seeds, tools, and plants from brands like Burpee, Renee's Garden Seeds, and Fiskars. It's a gift that grows into something beautiful. They can send you photos of the blooms all season long. Add a note from the grandkids asking what they'll plant. It's a sweet way to stay connected.

Testimonials
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!”
