WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING

Sent with Love, Received with Joy

This was a fantastic delivery for my daughter who is away from home for the first time as a freshman! Thanks so much for putting this basket together! She loved it! I will definitely have another one delivered at some point this school year!
Jennifer L.Mom of a U of M freshman
Dorm Dash is a fantastic service for parents who want to send something special to their kids while they're away at school. The ability to create customized baskets makes each delivery feel personal and thoughtful rather than just another care package.

The entire process was easy and convenient, and I love being able to choose items based on exactly what my son likes. Whether you want to celebrate a birthday, help them get through finals, send some encouragement, or simply remind them that you're thinking about them, Dorm Dash makes it incredibly easy.

The basket was beautifully put together, the attention to detail was excellent, and everything felt like it was prepared with genuine care. It's such a great feeling knowing you can brighten your child's day even when you can't be there in person. Julie is very warm and friendly - and she delivers herself!

I would absolutely recommend Dorm Dash and Julie to any parent with a child away at college. Five stars all the way. We will definitely be using Dorm Dash again!
Karri B.Family friend of a U of M freshman
Julie did a great job customizing a BEAUTIFULLY prepared gift box for my daughter. I was so excited to learn I could pick and choose items I knew my daughter would love. I also appreciate being able to look at her ideas before purchasing anything. She communicated with me through the whole process, and she hand delivered to my daughter with no issues. I'm so glad I can support my Wolverine from a distance. Thank you Dorm Dash!

WHY DORM DASH

Hand-Curated. Hand-Delivered. Heart-First.

We're a small, local business in Saline, Michigan, and every message is read personally by Julie.

Hand-Delivered to the Door

We don't ship. We personally deliver every box to your student's place of residence. No carriers, no tracking anxiety, no porch pirates.

Curated with Intention

Every item is hand-picked for quality, relevance, and that 'they really thought of me' feeling. No filler, no fluff.

Personal Handwritten Note

Each box includes a handwritten note with your personal message. You type it when you order, and Julie writes it out by hand on a card.

Built for College Life

From Welcome Week to finals to birthdays, our boxes are designed around the real moments of college life.

HOW IT WORKS

Three Steps to Their Smile

Choose a Box

Browse our hand-curated collections. Every item in every box is personally selected by us with care. No warehouses, no algorithms.

Personalize Your Message

Add a heartfelt note. We'll hand-write it and tuck it inside so they know exactly who sent the love.

We Deliver with Love

We hand-deliver to your student's residence on the date you choose. If they're out, it goes straight to the front desk, and we text them so they know it's waiting.

More Than Our Menu.

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Looking for a custom box?

Custom boxes start at $100. We offer special collections throughout the year, including seasonal favorites, finals-week boxes and limited holiday editions. We will also build something completely personal for:

  • A student who could use a little extra encouragement
  • A special milestone worth celebrating
  • A tough week that could use a little extra love
  • A reminder that they are loved, for no reason at all

You Send the Love. We'll Curate the Rest.
