If you ever get stuck for a great gift idea look no further than the desktop and an old, time tested idea. No, I am not talking about the Ipod, but something much more useful and reliable. This is not a new invention, but it is so helpful and easy to use that people often smack themselves and sayt, "why didn't I think of that?" when they receive one.
It won't cost you a whole lot, but it is something that will be used and seen every day. In fact, it would make a good promotional item because it is so visible and sits right on the desk near the phone. But it's a necessary tool, so it makes a great gift idea.
This item is the perpetual calendar, also called the wooden block calendar. It is a unique gift only because it is so simple. There are no wires, or progams to subscribe to. Just sit it on your desk and turn a block or two. It gives you the date perpetually, until the end of time or until you retire (which ever comes first).
The wooden block calendar is always needed. People want to know the date, and display the date for clients and guests. They don't want to be bothered with electronic devices that always need to be charged and updated. It always works and you will never have to buy another calendar again.
This unique idea is not a new comer. It's always been an office staple. Now, as we are inundated with technology and use it everyday, people are looking for a little, peaceful break. Something as simple and reliable as the wood block calendar is almost a treat to use.
It has several blocks. Each has numbers or dates on them including the day and month. Flip them over to form the date on your desk. It needs no refills, never has to be updated and always performs as expected.
In fact, it will be the last calendar your recipients buy. They come in several styles including perpetual calendars with pen stands and card holders.
