for people gathering together

frankie d’s creates experiences that help people connect more meaningfully - from small teams to large gatherings

we use donuts, guided conversation tools, and creative activities to support;

  • deeper connection and trust building
  • inclusion and a shared sense of belonging
  • making space for conversations that are often hard or avoided
  • collective learning and shared understanding
  • and more

our experiences are designed to help people slow down, feel included, and engage at a more human level. whether they’re coworkers, community members, or strangers meeting for the first time. all sessions are custom and thoughtfully designed with care, accessibility, and inclusion at the centre.

what we offer

our experiences scale from small teams to large crowds, while staying rooted in care and meaningful connection.

donuts & conversations

facilitated experiences that blend donuts, reflection, and guided conversation to support: team connection and morale,
psychological safety,
inclusion and belonging,
mental health awareness,
meaningful dialogue.

these sessions are often used to support deeper connection, deeper learning, navigating change or tension in a care centered way.

popular for retreats and leadership gatherings, each session is customized to your context and goals.

donut decorating experiences

hands-on, creative experiences that invite play, collaboration, and low-pressure connection.

donut decorating is especially supportive for mixed comfort levels, offering a way to connect without relying solely on talking. it helps people engage at their own pace, feel included and start having conversations that matter in a non-intimidating and playful way.

truth or dare for a free donut

our most playful engagement tool. participants choose a truth or a dare, complete it, and receive a donut.

truths are designed to spark vulnerable moments and dares spread kindness. this experience sparks laughter, vulnerability, and unexpected moments of care.

perfect for conferences, festivals, wellness fairs, staff appreciation events, public engagement and more

it’s lighthearted on the surface and deeply human underneath.

customized card decks

we create custom conversation card decks tailored to your team, organization, or group event.

decks can be designed to support specific goals like inclusion, mental health, onboarding, team values, reflection, or community building, customized to fit your context and people.

this is a great option for teams who want an experience that turns into an ongoing tool they can continue to use.

packages for team appreciation & gifts

packages designed for team appreciation, milestones, transitions, or moments when you want to say “we see you” in a way that feels meaningful.

packages are customized based on group size, budget, and purpose. they could include donuts, DIY donut decorating boxes, conversation cards, appreciation notes, and thoughtful touches to support wellbeing and connection.

group catering & large donut orders

sometimes you just need really good donuts, made with care and purpose.

we offer large donut orders for events and conferences, catering for teams and organizations and even weddings or parties.

every donut purchased helps fund community mental health and connection programs.

5% from every booking supports our social impact work in mental health and community care.

let’s create something meaningful together.
