Cozy holiday vibes
There’s no denying that the holiday season gives off *major* cozy vibes. And who doesn’t love bringing those warm, festive feelings to their living space? Help yourself get in the spirit by filling your dorm, apartment, or bedroom with holiday-themed goodies like these adorable Nutcracker Ballet Drinking Glasses or a
sugar-cookie-scented candle.
First Day of Winter
New season, new reason to celebrate! When the first day of winter rolls around, honor the occasion by enjoying a warm, yummy beverage like hot cocoa (in a wintry mug, of course!) and sitting down to work on a cute puzzle inspired by the season.
Finding the perfect ornament for an ornament exchange
Swapping ornaments with friends is such a fun way to
get in the holiday spirit and add some new decorations to your tree. When you’re picking out the perfect ornament to bring to an ornament swap, look for something that fits your recipient’s vibe, whether it’s more simple and elegant or whimsical and fun.
End of Fall semester
The end of the Fall semester can be bittersweet. On one hand, you’re heading home to rest and relax over winter break, but on the other, you’ll be away from your besties for a few weeks. To end the semester on the best note possible, invite your friends over for a holiday movie night to watch your fave holiday movie. Don’t forget to put out cute mugs for hot cocoa and a festive popcorn bowl for your must-have movie snack!

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.

Crushing your last paper or group project of the semester
You did it, bestie! When winter break is on the horizon,
it can be hard to focus on everything you have to finish
up before the Fall Semester ends. So, when you crush
your final projects and papers, you definitely deserve to celebrate. Reward yourself for your hard work by picking up something special like a throw blanket to keep you cozy all winter break long.
Getting a head start on your holiday shopping
Starting your holiday shopping early can save you a lot of stress later on. And while you’re busy crossing things off of your shopping list, don’t forget to stock up on gift wrap and gift boxes to help your presents look gorg!
Giving Tuesday and send a card to friends
Giving Tuesday is a day to give back to your community, whether that means donating to a charity you love or volunteering for a local non-profit. This year, why not celebrate the occasion by doing a random act of kindness? There are so many ways to spread the love to strangers and people you know, such as handing out holiday cards with encouraging notes inside!
