Perpetual Calendars are such a very smart purchase- this one will guide you on what dates fall where until the year 2152.

"Very modern, very cool! High gloss high white durable plastic. Never buy another calendar again! Great for any environment that needs a calendar...How it works: There are only 7 days a month can start on and only 4 different month lengths (28, 29, 30 and 31 days). So with only 14 double sided inserts all 28 variations are covered. All the cards you will ever need are contained inside the calendar! On the backside is a schedule printed to get you going till December 2020. (An insert inside the calendar also provides the information till December 2152.)inside the calendar is an insert with all the monthly information you need till December 2152."

As always, it is my duty to inform you of any decent perpetual calendars. I'd say this qualifies and exceeds expectations with its spare and functional design.

"Is time linear? The Folle Wall Calendar (1982) says yes, offering an innovative way to measure time, with the days of the month presented in a straight line. A red pointer that slides along the top, above cobalt blue numbers, adjusts to the current day. Two holes on either end allow this perpetual calendar to be hung above your workspace, a reminder that even everyday objects like a calendar can transcend the mundane. Made in Denmark."

Looking for a late Christmas gift? Looking for a nice, large-format way to start the new year? The Stendig calendar, which measures a generous 4 feet wide by 3 feet high would be a great way to punctuate your wall.

There's still time to have gifts shipped in time for next week...and this calendar would be perfect for anyone who leans toward simple and spare design.

"Massimo Vignelli's Perpetual Wall Calendar (1980) will never be out of date. Made of heavyweight paperboard, this calendar can be used month after month, year after year. The large, bold numbers are easy to read – evidence of Vignelli's genius with typography – and the white-on-black design makes a simple and clean graphic. Can be hung on the wall or laid on a desk. Made in Italy."

I feel that is my duty to post any decent perpetual calendars I come across, not only because they'll save you from 12 months of usually bland/bad photography, but also because they'll save you money (if you live long enough)...

"This thought-provoking calendar features an aluminum background with the months on one side; the dates on the other -- you simply stretch the band across from month to date to see the exact day."

notes: measures 16.5" x 16.5"

Each month features a different font by a recognised typographer- might be a nice change (and some education on typography). high quality paper stock 22"x33"

The Lucky Week Planner allows you to see one week at a time and divides the page by hour and day and also has a space for your to do's.

We've posted this before (because it's a perpetual calendar, of course) but it is now half off! You'd be crazy not to snap one of these up for yourself or as a gift for a friend. "Instead of designing a calendar that could only be used for one year, French product designer Jean-Pierre Vitrac developed one that can be re-used indefinitely, year after year. cleverly hidden numbers are defined by a magnetic cursor." Steel panel with plastic magnetic cursor 50"W x 1"D x 50"H Colors: grey/white, red/white

This is definitely a different way to keep track of the days...this calendar is a series of numbered dots; you know the drill, connect the dots. As the month progresses, so does the drawing. (if you live in the US, shipping is approximately $8)
