Best Chocolate Advent Calendar

Many families begin to celebrate the Christmas season by beginning a countdown system beginning on December 1.

One of the most popular ways to do this is by using a Chocolate Advent Calendar. No, the calendar is not made from chocolate. The calendar itself can be made of a variety of media such as paper, cardboard or wood. The chocolate comes into the mix by being the little gifts that one finds each day as the counting to Christmas Day begins.

Spiritual mindfulness calendars Buddhism

Because mindfulness is a way of dealing with problems that does not require drugs or fancy equipment it has become quite popular among many. No surprise then that there are several calendars out there for those interested in enlightening their life through meditation or mindfulness.

The main teacher of Zen Mindfulness these days is of course Thich Nhat Hanh. His Calendars are as inspiring and calming as you would expect.

Mindfulness is really a form of Buddhism adapted to the modern lifestyle of Westerners. That is: what used to be a practice aimed at monks and nuns (and only a minority of those), is now practiced by people who aren't giving up any of life's luxuries.

Tibetan Buddhism too has brought us spiritual teachers capable of bridging the nun-laity gap: Pema Chodron for instance is very good at translating the ancient wisdom to something applicable to our modern hectic lives.

Calendar Stickers for moms, animal lovers and everybody else

I've found a collection of calendar stickers for just about everybody: Calendar stickers for every day planning and organizing.

But that’s not all I found. There’s are also sets of stickers for mothers, fathers and anybody who has to manage a family.

Last but not least… How about stickers dog owners and cat lovers?

Desk Calendars 2010

Having a desk calendar in the office can be fun or inspiring but of course always practical. I've collected desk calendars for 2010 about all kinds of topics, whether inspirational, fun or practical.

Let's start with that inspiration. I know many of you love to have Biblical inspiration daily, why not get that with a bible desk calendar? Of course there are many other kinds of religious and spiritual desk calendars as well. Like the 2010 Thomas Kinkade Desk Calendars, which come with and without spiritual quotes. For those of you who need all the encouragement they can get there are the motivation to succeed desk calendars. Last but not least, in the spiritual sphere, is this selection of Buddhist desk calendars.

But desk calendars can be used to inspire something totally different as well: arts and crafts for instance. Whether it's crafts for kids, or crafts for adults, you will be inspired to spend a lot of time playing with paint, leftovers or simply beads.

Also suitable for the home: this vintage fruit and vegetables desk calendar.

If you're a Jew, you may want to learn a Yiddish phrase a day with your desk calendar.

Newest calendars and planners 2009-2010

Don’t you just love wildlife photography? It's lucky for me they make wildlife photography wall calendars. I mean really, what can be more inspiring than these great vistas? Some of these calendars featuring Tibet are also nature photography calendars really. Others show us the life in Tibet: monks, children and women. You will also find yoga and Jewish calendars on this page as well as cooking desk calendars and Fine Art inspired planners.

Top 10 selling calendars and planners 2009-2010

I sell calendars and planners online. Mostly I specialize in calendars for women and girls, spiritual planners, art calendars and nature photography. The following calendars and planners did best last year.

Beautiful Songbird Photography calendars and planners

Songbirds aren't just beautiful to listen to, they're also a class of birds that often have very beautiful feathers. So they're a good subject for nature photography as well.

On this lens you will find calendars and planners devoted to songbirds. In one case you will even get a CD with birdsongs along with the calendar. For the real or aspiring birders among you. To make it all feel more real, I've included a youtube video that also has the sounds of several song (or perching) birds.

North American Songbird water color art calendars and planners

Beautiful pictures and paintings of Canadian and USA songbirds
I love nature photography, but art based on nature is equally enchanting. I do think that's a good word for this lens, because many of the calendars on here turn nature into something romantic, not quite of this world. Colors turn pastel because of the use of watercolors and the bright colors of nature become almost luminous in the hands of these artists.

A biology teacher of mine said once that the only reason we don't think ducks are pretty is because we see them too often. Some of the artists who made these calendars clearly agree. You'll find common birds portrayed as well as rare ones.

Cute Baby Animals Calendars and Date Books, planners, agendas

These calendars and planners have the cutest baby animal pictures, sometimes with their parents. Inspiring, beautiful and simply a great addition to your home.

You'll find farm animals, pets and wildlife photography. Some of these are cuter than cute, others merely very beautiful. You'll find pink and pretty as well as elegant. One calendar combines Bible verses with nature photography.

All in all, a collection that I hope will help you decide what calendar to buy this year.

India and Hinduism Wall Calendars

India is a country rich in gods, history and culture. The calendars gathered here share only that one common thread: the country of India. I found you a calendar with paintings and textiles from the ancient courts of the country as well as calendars featuring photographs of Indian women, modern popular religious art and posters that were once spread to make Indians into proper citizens.

Buddhism desk calendars

With the popularity of Buddhism, it’s a bit surprising I was only able to find three Buddhist Desk Calendars. While elsewhere I did find other kinds of Buddhist calendars, these three do just what you want in a desk calendar: remind you of the wisdom of Buddhism AND help keep you up to date on where you are in the year.

Susan Seddon Boulet Fantasy Art Calendars and Planners

Susan Seddon Boulet (1941-1997) was a passionate student of the world religions and mythology. Her art uses the symbols she found all over the world. Pomegranate has come out with several calendars devoted to her spiritual artwork.

Maggie Oster describes herself as a gardener, writer and photographer who specializes in herbs, food gardening, cooking, and crafts. Her gardening tips and photography are well known and make a magical combination.

She shares her love for gardens in these two 2010 garden calendars. The one features herbs and herb lore. The other shares with you the Japanese style of landscaping, which is particularly conducive to restoring an inner rest. Just what you need in your busy life.
