Our Story

A little love from home.

Hi, I'm Cori Fentiman — founder of Happy Heart Boxes, a carefully curated monthly care package for college girls.

As a mom, one of the hardest things I've ever done is drop my daughter off at college and drive away.

Leaving part of my heart there with her.

Some days I feel so incomplete with her gone. I'm always looking for ways to still feel close to her and let her know I care so much, even though she's miles away. I love sending her care packages — but I'd struggle to find coordinating items, things would be out of stock, or I'd end up driving all over town for what I pictured in my head.

That's when the idea for Happy Heart Boxes hit me. College is an exciting new chapter, but being away from home isn't always easy. Happy Heart Boxes was created to help families stay connected — because sometimes a little box of happiness can make a big difference.

Every college girl deserves to be reminded how special and loved she is. Each box is a small reminder that she is always on your mind and in your heart, even when you can't physically be with her. Every box she receives will feel like a hug from home.

Together, we can support our girls as they step into the college world.

Good to Know

A few common questions.

What are Happy Heart Boxes?

A Happy Heart Box is a monthly subscription box thoughtfully curated for college girls. Each box is filled with fun, useful, beautiful, and uplifting surprises designed to make her feel loved, encouraged, and a little spoiled!

Who are they designed for?

Our boxes are designed with college girls and young women in mind. They make thoughtful gifts from parents, grandparents, family members, friends, or anyone who wants to send a little happiness her way.

What comes in each box?

Every box features a unique theme and includes a carefully curated mix of lifestyle, self-care, accessories, treats, study and desk essentials, and other fun surprises. Each box also includes a small stone heart selected to complement the month's theme — she can keep it, collect them, or pass one along to someone who could use a little extra love.

What makes Happy Heart Boxes different?

Every box is intentionally curated around a theme and designed to feel like a thoughtful gift, not a collection of random products. From the packaging to the products inside, we want every detail to make her feel special.
