    Winter wonderland.

    Your friend misses the snow? Chill her out with tickets to ICE, the Santa Monica outdoor ice skating rink (open through January 31), or to CHILL, the outdoor rink at W Los Angeles-Westwood (open through January 24). A cool $10 covers both skate rental and an hour on the rink.

  • Manduka's black mat is a yogi favorite.

    Pro treatment.

    Know a serious "poser"? When it comes to yoga mats, the Manduka Black Mat PRO ($90) is the Bentley. Yoga stars love that it doesn't get slippery, flake or discolor; it comes in extra-long, and it has a lifetime guarantee. Get it for 20% off with code BMVITAL (expires 12/7).

  • Celina Zambon teaches flamenco.

    Move to a different drummer.

    Have a friend with rhythm? For less than $20 per class, treat her to a dance workout like this just-launched flamenco series; Samba BodyAfroCaribbean dance; belly dance or Mambo Mania.

  • Cirque School LA takes students to new heights.

    Put on a show.

    Is your friend the center of attention? Teach her new tricks with Cirque du Soleil-style training from Cirque School LA ($25), hooping class from Hoopnotica ($20), or a chance to fly through the air with Trapeze School LA ($69).

    You'll both feel uplifted.
