Sukie Perpetual Calendar

Pcalopenlge

Normally buying a calendar in mid-March would not represent good value for money with two months already passed, but such considerations are obsolete with a perpetual calendar such as this one from Sukie.

As with all of Sukie’s designs, it has a definite retro feel, in this case it has a mid-century Scandinavian look to it. The calendar is die-cut with a desktop stand and features a moveable day, date, month and even a weather feature.

It costs just £6.84 and can be bought from the Sukie website.
