Practical, inexpensive, and expressive, calendars make great gifts, and I was happily surprised to find so many cool shoe calendars for 2009.
From wall calendars to shoe of the day desk calendars, and artistic to historical styles, there's a calendar here for nearly every type of shoe lover.
1. Shoes Gallery Calendar 2009 - Gorgeous Box Desk Calendar
The 2008 version of this amazing calendar is sitting on my desk, and I can't wait to start on 2009. Based on the fabulous book, "Shoes : A Celebration of Pumps, Sandals, Slippers & More" by Linda O'Keefe, this artistic, page-a-day calendar stands upright on a desk or table, and makes a great gift, as the recipient will be reminded of your thoughtfulness each and every day of the year.
2. 365 Days of Shoes - 2009 Picture-A-Day Wall Calendar
Also inspired by Linda O'Keefe's book, this 2009 calendar also features a different shoe every day, but instead of sitting on your desk and waiting to be changed every day, it hangs on your wall and features a monthly format. Each month features the shoes of one iconic designer, with one large picture per month, and smaller pictures featured on each day of the grid.3. Mini Wall Shoes Calendar from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
If you're on a limited budget, or your recipient is limited on wall space, this mini wall calendar from the Metropolitan Museum of Art might be just the thing you're looking for. At only 7" by 7" this little calendar packs a big punch, and rings up at less than $10.
