Sure, it's a little early to start thinking about 2009, but if stores can roll out Christmas decorations in August, there's no reason we can't look ahead to where next year's wall calendar is gonna go. And considering the scale of this poster-sized 2009 calendar from the Brooklyn-based Bubble Calendar (it comes in 48" x 18" horizontal and vertical versions, to be exact), we'd better clear space on the wall now to accommodate it.

With its bubble-wrap surface resting atop either 100 lb. glossy cover stock or slightly pricier acetate, the Bubble Calendar includes all days of the week and every U.S. holiday, as well as boldface weekend days, set in clean-looking Helvetica Neue type. Mount in on the kids' bedroom wall, and let them start each new day with a pop!
$29.95 (card stock) or $49.95 (acetate) from Bubble Calendar.
