I'm not as obsessive about my online calendars all the time as I wish I were — I would never forget about the occasional appointment or date I made on the fly. Even though I use calendars, sometimes you just need really straightforward reminders — which is what Deadline is great for.
For instance, I have a doctor appointment on my calendar, but what I really need is an alert a half hour before I need to leave for that appointment.

If you didn't go for the Tiny Shoe Advent Calendar, but you're still open to the tradition of advent calendars, you're in luck. I'm sure you can arrive at plenty of ways to DIY your own, but perhaps you'd just to prefer to shop. I know I should cut back, but as a San Francisco dweller, I'm personally loving the Gump's Painted Ladies Advent Calendar ($125).

In my house, we hung an advent calendar each year, made of miniature gift bags filled with candy. I think it's a fun tradition for children that fosters their excitement for Christmas — as if they weren't already bursting at the seams. Although it's obviously a religious tradition, the countdown calendars can be used for all sorts of celebrations, like birthdays or even the election!

German designer Susanna Hertrich's Chrono Shredder is "a hybrid between calendar, clock, and waste-producing automaton," that has no on/off functionality. It runs unstoppable for 365 days until it has continuously shredded all of its calendar pages, which are kept on a paper roll. The paper is fed through a hacked paper shredder, which is programmed to use exactly 24 hours to shred one "day."

Back to school may mean a lil freedom for you, but it also means the beginning of the choreographed ballet that is shuttling children between birthday parties, soccer practices, ballet lessons, tutoring sessions, and more. Without careful planning, that doctor's appointment can easily get lost in the shuffle, not to mention a double booking on a Saturday afternoon. We have investigated a number of family organizers — from simple calendars to desktop agendas — and narrowed down the selection to five fabulous products.

Everyone knows I'm a big fan of bubble wrap (little Katie Sugar loves it too!). Whenever a package comes in, I pray for the bubbles instead of those lame peanuts that I can't do anything with (besides toss them up in the air and create my own personal snow globe).
The Bubble Wrap Key Chain has quelled my need for popping somewhat, but I need more!

London-based production designer Óscar Díaz dreamed up a novel printing technique whereby a specific type of paper absorbs ink gradually. The technique allowed for him to create self-printing designs, where numbers on a calendar, letters on a card, or leaves on a botanical (etc.) are revealed bit by bit, so they are "growing works." Quite appropriately, his calendar design showed under the "Gradual" category at the 2007 London Design Festival.
