I was digging through my closet looking for an old photobook (yes, it was a thing back in the day before cloud storage) and came across my memory box of keepsakes, filled with various mementos of milestones, vacations, and meaningful cards from family and friends. It was a treasure trove of fond memories and I knew no matter how much I Marie-Kondo’d the crap out of my closet, this box of treasures would always remain.

At DONO, we created a platform to recreate keepsakes in form of digital gifts and translate the warm and fuzzies through an app that organizes it all for you. Should you wish to send a DONO gift to a friend, you are able to add photos, a video and/or a message, all in addition to the monetary amount. It’s like its own memory box, all in a gift card. Now, if you’re the lucky recipient and have an awesome group of family and friends who all decide to go the DONO route, then your app will have all your gifts stored for you, so you can go back and revisit the messages that were sent and have a consolidated balance in real-time (so long, 1-800-what’s-my-balance!) And the money? It can all be safely stored in your digital wallet, so you’ll never have to fumble through your actual wallet again.

We encourage you to continue saving those movie stubs, fortunes from your Chinese takeout, the shell necklaces from your last Hawaiian vacation and the likes, but never should you have the need to save unwanted gift cards again by using DONO.
