Kids Grow Up. Mom Doesn't Stop Being Mom. π
They graduate. They move away. They start college. They study in another country. They spend a year with a host family. And somehow, no matter how independent they become, you still find yourself wondering:
Are they eating enough?
Are they getting enough sleep?
Are they homesick?
Do they know how incredibly proud I am of them?
That's where Mom Sent This comes in.
A Little Piece of Home, Delivered.
Mom Sent This was created around one simple idea: Sometimes you can't be there, but you can still show up. We create personalized care packages for students and young adults living away from home, filled with treats, useful finds, little comforts and surprises chosen with them in mind.
You tell us about your person.
You tell us what they love.
You write the message.
We pack the love and send it their way. π¦π
Across the State or Across the World. π
Being far from home can mean a dorm room a few hours away or a host family's house thousands of miles from everything familiar. Mom Sent This is especially passionate about making it easier for families separated by borders. International students and foreign exchange students living in the United States can receive a package packed and shipped right here in the U.S., while their families order from home.
No international package to mail.
No customs forms.
Just a box showing up with a simple message:
Mom sent this. π
Meet the Mom Behind Mom Sent This
Hi, Iβm Jasmin-a mom, wife, TV host, and the person behind Mom Sent This. The idea for Mom Sent This came from something very personal to our family.
Our family has had the incredible experience of welcoming exchange students into our lives, and they quickly became so much more than students staying in our home. They became family. But there was something I noticed that always bothered me. Their parents were thousands of miles away, and while they wanted to surprise their kids with the same little things I could easily buy for mine-a favorite snack, a birthday surprise, something they needed, or just a gift to say βIβm thinking about youβ-it wasn't always easy. Ordering from U.S. websites could be difficult. Shipping internationally was expensive and complicated. Some stores wouldn't accept their payment methods or made purchasing from another country frustrating. So often, their parents simply couldn't send the little surprises they wanted to send.
And I kept thinking...
There should be an easier way.
A way for a mom in Brazil, Spain, Germany, or anywhere in the world, to choose something special for her child living in the United States without having to figure out international shipping, customs, or where to shop. And then I realized this wasn't only an international-student problem. College parents everywhere know the feeling of wanting to send a little piece of home when their child is away.
So I created Mom Sent This.
You tell us about your person, the things they love, what they're into, what they miss, and what would make them smile. You write the message. And we take care of the rest.
Because whether they're 30 miles from home or 3,000, sometimes you just want them to open a box and know: Someone back home is thinking about me. Thatβs what Mom Sent This is really about. Not just sending stuff.
Sending home. ππ¦π
More Than Stuff in a Box.
The products are fun.
But they're not really what we're sending.
We're sending:
I miss you.
I'm proud of you.
You've got this.
I'm thinking about you.
Call your mother. π
And sometimes that's exactly what someone away from home needs.
