At Ames & Oates, we’re committed to making your gift-giving process simple, easy, and memorable. That’s why we develop, partner and source products with the best ethical brands and factories around the world. We also provide a streamlined shopping experience and custom options - a full-service gifting solution, all in one place. Our "Why" Over half of American adults receive gifts they dislike and more than $9.5 billion is estimated to be wasted on unwanted gifts each year. Our mission - Ridding the world of boring, transactional, throwaway gifts. We seek the best makers from around the world who take pride in their craft and our in-house design team curates gift collections that are as unique as the people who will receive them. Because finding reasons to celebrate your loved ones is easy, gifting should be too! Designed to make a difference At Ames & Oates, we pay close attention to making sure we are part of the solution, not the problem. That’s why we use sustainably sourced materials for all of our packaging and our keepsake gift boxes are made to last and be reused. With our GIFT GOOD | DO GOOD mission, 10% of the proceeds from every gift purchased are donated to GlobalGiving. We donate each month to a different cause spanning from environmental issues and education to women's rights and responsible sourcing.
