Calendars seem to be a popular holiday gift, and this is the time of year people seem to be popping up everywhere selling them. This one caught my eye partly because it looks cool and also because it’s interactive.  The Puzzle Calendar is made of colorful building blocks that can be rearranged to change the look of your calendar each month. There are also pieces made for special days like birthdays and holidays.  And it kind of looks like legos which is also pretty cool too in my opinion. Available here for a pretty reasonable $12.50.

After coming across the work of designer Ryan Frank and his “Free Range Furniture” earlier today, I knew I wanted to post about it.  Not only is eco-friendly responsible and right now extremely in, but with Frank’s designs it’s also innovative and practical.

Called the Ipouch, this case is made from fabric backed 100% cork with custom stitched edging in your choice of color. Because it is made of cork, it is naturally water repellent and shock absorbent.  Everything you need in a cell phone case right?   The Ipouch is designed to fit the iPhone or Blackberry Curve. I hear laptop covers are also in the works, which I’m pretty excited about!

Ryan Frank has a lot of furniture on his site, everything from chairs to shelving that I highly recommend you check out.  This smaller item caught my eye as something to share with you today, since right now I have holiday shopping on the brain (and I’m guessing many of you do too!), and well this would make a great gift don’t you think?
