From brunch with your besties to skydiving in Utah: get exactly what you want with DONO. The choice is yours to make! But if you are looking for inspiration, we have got some great tips. Read below for some of the best ways and places where to spend your DONO this February. All these are great ideas for either spending time with the special person in your life or with yourself. Remember to tag us in your adventures #giftmedono and always share the love.

The New York Bruncher

Take a trip to Gertie’s. It’s one of New York’s most Instagrammable cafés that has the taste to back it up. Its bagels have graced the pages of the New York Times on multiple occasions for their unique sourdough crumb and chewy yet firm bite that brings memories of the midnight bagel run flashing back. It’s nostalgic yet elevated, served with heady coffee or cocktails in an elegant contemporary diner. We recommend the smoked trout bagel, as do their staff. You can book for their 3 course brunch online for a special event!

Film Fanatics

Find your way to another memorable shared experience with MUBI Go. Get out and support your local cinemas and contemporary indie directors by using your voucher on a film night organised by the genius Mubi. It’s today’s answer to Netflix monotony. The big screen is underrated and you will appreciate that time away from your phone. If you want to turn it up a gear, have you tried Secret Cinema? Attendees are plunged into the world of each film - with dance, live music, acting and a personal mission interacting with the shifting scene around them. For the evening, you can live inside a film.

Thrill Seekers

The sky's the limit, so why not fly through it? Skydiving in Utah’s Zion National Park with a view of the impressive red cliffs offers an unparalleled perspective on American nature. This otherworldly experience is reopening in March, but you can still buy a voucher in February to spend later. Otherwise, we love the diverse crisp Alaskan landscape you can enjoy hurtling through the air with Alaska Skydive Centre who promise a similarly unforgettable experience.

Sumptuous Spa Fans

Whether you’re escaping from the city or looking for a trip as a Colorado native, unwinding at Dunton Hot Springs is the right choice. Nestled in the woods amongst aspens, rivers and meadows - dusted in winter snow at this time of year - this natural paradise was made famous by Lily Collins’ recent wedding. The impressive grounds offer mountain walks, relaxing massages and most importantly natural hot springs to bathe in.

Waterside Wellness Stars  

For a trip that has it all organized we love the sound of The Culture Trip’s Lake Tahoe meditation retreat. Five days of uninterrupted bliss meditating, hiking and stargazing would make a great start to 2022. The vast impressive landscape attracted Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Sammy Davis Jr. to South Lake Tahoe in the 60s. This meditation retreat might be an update on the activities enjoyed by the shore, but the latent glamour remains.

Art Lovers

This intimate, ethereal and vibrant exhibition at The Dallas Museum of Modern art sees Naudline Pierre paint angels in jewel tones. Tour the walls until 15th May and take a moment to imagine and welcome the alternative narratives Pierre offers. Contesting crusty old art history that centres on a white male perspective this exhibit paints transcending figures that place the artist’s alter-ego on a well deserved metaphorical pedestal. Sensitive and loving, this exhibition is one not to miss.
