We Support Small Business

We believe that magic happens when we help each other. That’s why we work with small and local businesses whenever we can—because they (we!) are the backbone of our communities. Every ribbon, tag, and thoughtful touch you see is likely curated or created from a business just like ours, pouring their heart into what they do. And if it’s not, well, it’s not because we didn’t try (reach out if you’re a small business that wants to collab!). Supporting small is a huge deal - for us and others like us - so we pay it forward wherever we can.

We Minimize Waste

Why should you have to choose between aesthetics and the environment? We want all of our products to be loved and reused because, let’s be honest - they’re stunning, but also because Mother Earth would appreciate them having a life beyond a single use. So our goal is simple: minimize waste by using recycled, recyclable, reusable, or low-waste materials whenever possible. When you adorn a gift with August + Dote, you’re not just making your person happy, you’re making the planet happy, too.

We Give Back

We’ve been fortunate to receive many gifts in our lifetime, but not everyone can say the same. So giving back is in our DNA, and it always will be. That’s why 5% of our proceeds go directly to causes we believe in. These aren’t just donations; they’re investments in communities, in change, and in those who need it most. And yes, we’re hands-on, too. Supporting others is part of who we are—if our presence can be a gift, we’re there with our sleeves rolled up, ready to help however we can.
