A Taste of Home, Made with Heart

Bringing comfort, care, and home cooked smiles to CU Boulder Students and Families

Welcome to Buffalo Hugs and Heart. We’re happy you’re here.

We know it can be tough to be away from home, no matter who you are. We also know how far a little bit of extra love can go during a busy week. That’s why we are here. Whether you’re a parent wanting to surprise your Buff with a homemade meal, or a neighbor looking to send a handcrafted basket, we bridge the distance with care packages, flowers, and fresh meals made right from the heart.

Sending Love is Simple

Choose and customize. We take care of the rest.

  • Choose Your Comfort: Browse our curated selection of home-cooked meals, custom gift baskets, flowers, or birthday packages. Don’t be afraid to send your recipes either. We love to make new things!

  • Customize Your Care: Add a personalized note or image, and tell us exactly what your recipient loves. We handle the details with the same care you would.

  • Hand Created Happiness: We personally hand craft every care basket, birthday package, and meal. The best things in life are home made.

Our Core Offerings

Everything from delicious meals, to flowers. We make sure every detail is perfect.

Custom Gifts and Care Baskets

Curated bundles of joy, study fuel, and wellness essentials 

  • Send a hug in a box! Our custom baskets are thoughtfully packed with everything they need to feel loved and supported, now shipping nationwide. Whether you want to send a “Finals Week Survival Kit”, a “Get Well Soon” wellness pack, or a snack-filled “Just Because” bundle, we tailor every basket to bring a massive smile to their face.

Flowers & Thoughtful Touches

Brighten their space and their day with fresh flowers. 

  • Sometimes, a simple, beautiful gesture says it all. Perfect for a job well done, a holiday, or just to let them know that you are thinking of them. Our fresh flower arrangements and small, thoughtful gifts add a splash of color and a reminder of your love to any dorm or apartment.

Birthdays & Special Celebrations

Because being away from home shouldn’t mean missing out.

  • Don’t let distance stop you from celebrating their big day! We bring the party directly to them. Our birthday and celebration packages can include freshly baked custom cakes, festive balloons, sweet treats, gift cards, and personalized decorations. Let us handle the surprise while you share the joy.

Home Cooked Meals

Freshly prepared, comforting dishes, made from scratch

  • There is nothing quite like a home-cooked meal to turn a long study session or stressful week around. We prepare wholesome, hearty, and comforting meals made with fresh ingredients and the ultimate care. From cozy comfort classics and nutritious favorites, to family recipes, we hand make the taste of home directly from the heart.

The Buffalo Hugs and Heart Standard

Every Single Order Includes:

  • Personalized Notes – We handwrite (and never type) your custom message on a beautiful card so your words feel truly personal.

  • Hand-Crafted with Care – We coordinate the logistics of the process with the customer, and make sure every order is fulfilled perfectly, and beautifully hand made.

  • Dietary Accommodations – Food allergies or preferences? Just let us know. We gladly accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, and other dietary needs.

The Heart of The Mission

More Than a Meal. It’s a Community.

At Buffalo Hugs and Heart, we believe that everyone deserves a warm meal and a moment of comfort. Through our Donate A Meal program, we partner with our community to ensure that students and families facing a tough week are taking care of. Because a little bit of heart goes a long way. 

“…I have been thinking about you ALL day and you are just a blessing. Me and my friend adored and loved what you do for us and for others and we appreciate it SO much!!
Your hugs mean the world!!”
