Merry Poppins

Wake up. Brush teeth. Break a date. Drive to work.

The Bubble Calendar 2010 allows you to pop out of your rut, even if just for a split second. This ingenious calendar takes the bubble wrap we all love to burst to an entirely new level, with each date on the calendar marked with a pop-able bubble.

Wall Power
A super fun accessory that gives your walls a nice lift, this calendar has received rave reviews, being dubbed “the cleverest calendar ever” and the “best kind of pop art”. The Bubble Calendar is available in horizontal and vertical designs, and printed on thick 80 pound cover stock paper.

Born in the USA
Designed and handmade in Brooklyn, USA, Bubble Calendars can be mailed anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, they are marked with American holidays only. Popping Thanksgiving may be no fun for us desis, but we can still take a shot at Valentine’s Day.

Getting There: Log on to www.bubblecalendar.com or email info@BubbleCalendar.com, approximately Rs 950 (20 USD) plus shipping charges.

City Planning

Also helping you organise the New Year is veteran designer Krsna Mehta, with his signature pop art-style Mumbai Planner 2010. Adorned with bus tickets bills, daily dabbas, tottering taxis and Bollywood action, it allows you to keep your date with the city’s most iconic motifs. Definitely beats that corporate diary your office hands out at the end of every year. Get your preview here.

Getting There: Available at Good Earth, Juhu and Lower Parel; Indigo Deli, Colaba; Bombay Store, Fort; Leopold, Colaba and Rhythm House, Kala Ghoda, Rs 300, available next week onwards.
