Spooky Szn
From watching nostalgic Halloween movies to attending costume parties, who doesn’t love the spookiest time of year? Kick off the season by swapping your usual tote bag with a cute, Halloween-themed design that’s perfect for stashing your wallet, water bottle, and even a few candy bars.
Your fave professor on World Teacher’s Day
We all have that one professor that goes above and beyond to make their class interesting and enjoyable. So, this World Teacher’s Day, why not show them how much you appreciate their dedication by giving them a thoughtful gift and a handwritten card? Hallmark’s Sweet Red Apple 3-Wick Jar Candle is the perfect way to help them fill their office with cozy fall vibes, and this You Deserve Extra Credit Thank-You Card is sure to put a smile on their face.
Crushing your midterms
Let’s be honest: Midterms season can be a struggle.
After weeks of late-night study sessions and early-morning exams, you and your besties deserve to celebrate your accomplishments with an end-of-midterms dinner party.
Whip up your fave snacks, put on a fun playlist, and decorate your space with vibrant, photo-worthy decor and party essentials from Hallmark’s Sunny Cheer Birthday Party Essentials Set!
Remembering to drink enough water
Yes, staying hydrated is something worth celebrating!
When you hit your hydration goals, treat yourself to some adorable stickers from Hallmark. They’re a great way to show off your personality — whether you’re a music lover, gamer, or plant mom — and adding them to your emotional support water bottle will motivate you to keep the streak going, too.

Your BFFs on National Friendship Day
There’s nothing like the bond you have with your besties. This National Friendship Day, make sure they feel the love by spending some quality time together. Here’s an idea: Invite them over for a cozy movie night. Stock up on popcorn and candy, set out some yummy drinks, and create a photo-worthy viewing space with Hallmark’s Black + White Pop Party Decor Collection.
Warm Summer Nights
Who doesn’t love spending
a summer evening outside? It’s the *perfect* way
to romanticize your life.
So, gather your roomies
and head to the quad for
a picnic after your classes.
To make your al fresco
event even more ~aesthetic~, pack your picnic basket with gorg plates and napkins from Hallmark’s Secret Garden collection.
Heading Back to School
From reuniting with your besties to starting new classes, heading back to campus obviously calls for
a celebration! To help your college besties start the
new school year on the
right foot, surprise them
with encouraging Hallmark cards — like this Mini Make Today Great Card or Mini Kick Butt and Repeat Card
— on the first day of classes.

Finding a new study spot on campus
During a busy school year, few things are more exciting than finding a study spot that has all of the essentials: comfy seating, a good view, and minimal distractions. So, when you do find that spot, celebrate the occasion by treating yourself to a cute new notebook. Then, add fun stickers to the front (we love motivational stickers that remind you to “do what you love” and “spread happiness”) to make your study sessions even more fun.
Your family on Grandparents’ Day
Show your love for your grandparents this Grandparents’ Day by sending them a sweet gift they can show off at home like this Ask Me About My Grandkids Mug. Pair it with a handwritten card, and you’re sure to be crowned the “best grandkid ever.”
Being reunited with your besties
One of the best parts of being back on campus is reuniting with your friends after a long summer apart. So, gather your gang and head to the quad for a celebratory picnic after your classes. To make your evening even more ~aesthetic~, pack your picnic basket with gorg plates and napkins from Hallmark’s Butterflies and Blooms Party Essentials Set.
