Donae
doh·nay  ·  to give, to gift

Tell us who matters.
Thoughtful gifts, ahead of time.

Donae remembers the occasions for the people you buy for and finds thoughtful, personal gift ideas ahead of time. Less last-minute searching, and one less thing to keep in your head.

Before each occasion, we email you three gift ideas and a suggested card message.

You always make the final choice.

Four steps.
Tell us once. We do the remembering.

Donae uses AI to find gift ideas and draft your card message. The more you share, the more personal the ideas, and you can add people or update their details at any time.

1
Add the people who matter

Tell us who they are, how you know them, what they love and anything to avoid. Add each occasion, its date and your gift budget, excluding delivery. Speak or type, whichever you prefer.

2
Help us sound like you

Share your usual tone, your sign-off and a short writing sample. Donae drafts each card message in your voice, written for that person and that occasion.

3
Get gift ideas ahead of time

Three weeks before each occasion*, we email you three ideas, Our Pick, an Alternative and a Wildcard, each with a link to the retailer, plus a suggested card message.

* Reminders follow two weeks, one week and three days before. Added an occasion later? Your first ideas arrive within a week, or three days before if it is less than a week away. Less than three days to go, even on the day? We'll look within the hour (from 6am) for gifts sent by email, such as e-gift cards.

4
Choose your gift

Follow the link to buy your gift from the retailer, and copy the suggested message into your card, editing it however you like. Once the gift is sorted, tell Donae to stop reminders for that occasion.

You choose.

You add your friend Claire, who loves yoga and reading, with a gift budget of £40 to £70, excluding delivery. Three weeks before her birthday, this is the email Donae sends you.

Less to remember.
More thoughtful gifts.

Keeping track of every birthday and finding the right gift takes time and headspace. Donae carries that for you, so the people who matter still get something that feels chosen for them.

Your words, with a little help

A card message for that person and occasion, in your own voice, ready to make your own.

Their details
are safe with us.

When you tell us about someone, you're sharing details about a person who hasn't signed up to Donae. We treat that with care.

✦
We never contact them

Gift ideas go to you, never to them. We don't send them suggestions or marketing.

✦
We never sell their details

We don't sell their details or share them for other companies' marketing. Our Privacy Policy explains what the providers who help run Donae receive.

✦
We never look anyone up

Everything we hold comes from you. We don't buy data or link anyone to a social media profile.

Anyone can ask what we hold about them, or ask to be removed, by emailing privacy@donae.co. No account or form needed.
