About

Emotely is a digital gifting platform designed to make online gestures feel more personal and meaningful.

Rather than beginning with a traditional occasion such as a birthday, anniversary or holiday, Emotely starts with how someone feels about the recipient — whether that is appreciation, support, encouragement, affection, celebration, “just because,” or simply wanting to let someone know they are thinking of them.

Users create personalized Emotes that combine original artwork, a written message and an optional gift into a single recipient experience.

Emotely also offers Group Emotes, allowing friends, families, classmates and coworkers to contribute their own messages and photos to a shared Emote. Participants can optionally contribute toward a group gift, bringing messages, memories and gifting together in one experience.

Group Emotes can be used for birthdays, teacher appreciation, workplace farewells, weddings, new babies, retirements, team celebrations and other shared moments.

Founded in New York, Emotely is built around the idea that technology should make it easier to be thoughtful without making thoughtfulness feel automated.

Emotely is available at sendemotely.com.
