The August + Dote Story

We believe that the value of a gift is in its intent. For us, the size, the cost, the amount of time spent finding it matters less than the thought that went into it. But we’ve all had that moment when you’ve spent all your brainpower on the gift then lost steam when it came to the giftwrap. So we wanted to make perfecting the final touches feel like a treat, not a chore.

It’s our mission to curate and craft a beautiful experience for gift-getters AND gift-givers. That’s why we’re elevating the art of thoughtful gifting - because while it may be what’s on the inside that counts, the outside shouldn’t look like it was run over by a dump truck.
