Calendar Boys
What It Is: In my non-blogging life, I work with a professional services firm, so I know for a fact that it’s Small Business Week in Canada! With that in mind, I thought this gift idea was very cool on all fronts. It’s a 2016 calendar, artfully designed by the agency Wax, featuring images of small business entrepreneurs based in Calgary. The twist is proceeds from the calendar will actually go toward the Women’s Venture Program, run by a local not-for-profit called Momentum. This program helps low-income women realize their business ideas – so not only do you get to enjoy some entrepreneurial eye candy over the next year, you get to support future business leaders as well!
Who It’s For: Your entrepreneurial friend, to decorate their office. Your sibling that lives in Calgary, as a fun tribute to her city. Your boss, as a quirky yet cool gift they’ll love to talk about.
What It Costs: The calendar sells for $25, all profits go to the aforementioned charity.
Where It’s At: You can buy the calendar online or at a range of Calgary-based retailers.

very clever gift idea
It is so great that sales will help low income women!!
This is an excellent idea. Any thing to help low income women I support. What a great gift.
I always appreciate charitable endeavours that work for the greater good. This idea is a wonderful way to encourage low-income women who want to become entrepreneurs.
Here KittyKitty bonus entry: I think this charitable gift idea is a great way to incorporate local businesses & the future entrepreneurs in a nice looking calendar. Hope they make lots of profit 🙂
Love charity items
Good idea, but not for me.
It’s a great idea and one that I totally support.
This is great to buy for the person who always wants to give back. Someone so charitable will appreciate the gift, of course, but the gesture is what they will love!
I love it. My cousin lives in Calgary and I’m putting this on my list! Thanks!
It’s a great idea.
It’s a good idea.

I personally don’t use wall calendars but I love this cause and I know my friends would like it!
It’s a great idea!
I like it but would have to look into it more.
I love this idea. I hope though that the idea will soon include other cities as well.
I can’t think of anyone on my gift list that would appreciate this.
Its a great idea. Small business’ need our support!
This is a great idea and the proceeds go to something even greater. I will be picking a few of these up for sure.
I think it’s an interesting idea. Yet would not want it myself, I like outdoors or animal pictures on my calandars.
