Studio8 made a calendar that *won’t* be considered a lame gift, as opposed to calendars that feature meadows or that you got for free in the mail. The Fedrigoni Calendar for 2010 looks like a colorful stack of sticky notes. Instead of being for notetaking, the pages each have a number on them, along with a color. The color corresponds to the month, and the number, which is perforated at the edges, can be stood up to display the date. The Fedrigoni Calendar is a great gift idea for artistic friends who already have everything.
