# Calendars for the Clumsy The Napkin Calendar Lets You Clean Daily Spills By Ayman | Published 2008-12-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/napkin-calendar-stas-aki References: [stasaki](http://www.stasaki.com/worjects/napkins-calendar-2009/) Rather than waste paper like a [traditional calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-calendar), the Napkin Calendar 2009 by Stas Aki provides extra practical functionality as a napkin. Printed on napkins that can be used in a regular napkin dispenser, the calendar allows you to vent your frustration at the end of the day by blowing your nose at the day. I am not sure the calendar will actually last till the end of the year though. If you get the flu, you can run through the calendar in a few days!
