A little help from home

Why We Built
Gift My Dorm

Because sending a little love to your college student should be simple.

Our story

It started with a first-week cold.

My daughter got sick during her first week of college. I wanted to send her a few things to help her feel better, but I didn't want to buy a prepacked care package full of things she didn't need.

I wanted to choose exactly what to send and have it delivered straight to her dorm.

That's what inspired Gift My Dorm.

Two simple ways to help

Support them the way that fits.

Path 1

They already know what they need? Start with their list.

Find their Amazon list and shop for the things they've picked out themselves.

  • Less guessing for family and friends
  • Useful for graduation and college send-off gifts
Look Up Their List

Path 2

Want to send them something? Start here.

Browse our curated care packages and choose exactly which items to send.

  • Ideas for sick days, exam week, or a rough week away from home
  • Snacks, self-care, dorm supplies, and everyday essentials

A more personal way to send a care package

A care package that's actually their care package.

Traditional care packages come with a predetermined assortment of items. With Gift My Dorm, you get to choose.

Start with one of our curated collections, select the things your student will actually enjoy, and complete your purchase through Amazon.

Whether it's snacks for exam week, a few sick-day essentials, or a little surprise from home, you decide exactly what to send.

Our goal

Make college life a little easier—from getting them ready to sending what they need once they’re there.
