Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
Page-a-day calendars that teach a new craft project with every day.
Why we love it:
We've got a page-a-day calendar on our desk just like a lot of people, and like a lot of people ours sits mournful and dusty, telling us a piece of trivia meant for July 3rd (we're not even sure if it's of this year). We got it for Christmas and at first, we were enamored with it. We pulled off the previous day every morning, reading the new day with glee. Then we went on vacation for a bit, and forgot to pull the old sheets off for a few days and soon enough we were guiltily tearing off two weeks at a time. We like the idea of our little daily calendar, it just wasn't enough to hold our attention. That's why we love these craft-a-day calendars from Flax Art. Far more compelling than a bit of trivia, new vocabulary word or cartoon, the craft calendars teach a new mini art project every day. It gives a goal to work towards, and teaches a new skill along with reminding you when Canadian Thanksgiving is coming up. You can give someone the gift of calligraphy lessons, or scrapbooking, watercolor painting (comes with a water color paint set), knitting or even kite making. Finally, a page-a-day calendar that won't be abandoned by June.
Who we'd give it to:
Artsy kids, craft maniacs, anyone in need of a morning pick me up.
