Bubbles to Celebrate 2009 December 31, 2008

I want to wish you all a very happy new year and add on one more fun calendar that was not included in the previous three posts featuring 2009 calendars.

If you still get thrills from popping bubble wrap, this calendar is for you! Each day of the Bubble Calendar has a bubble over it to pop. Much more fun that marking an ‘X’ across the calendar square, let me tell you. Perhaps the day itself was not satisfying, but the pop of that day’s bubble will be!

Available in English, German, and Japanese ($29.95 each) from Bubble Calendars.

  • Huge 48″ x 18″ (122cm x 46cm) poster calendar
  • Great gift for that special designer / obsessive / compulsive in your life
  • Days of the week and all major US holidays marked
  • Weekends bolded for quick reference
  • Handmade in Brooklyn, USA
