I'd like to say I'm a visual thinker, but when I compare my colleagues' scrupulously filled-in and color-coded agendas to my chicken scratch daily to-do list, I know I am decidedly not one. However, that doesn't stop me from loving calendars, which I honestly use more to look at, than for actual planning purposes. So friends and family, beware: This list is a compilation of the most gorgeous, unique and artful calendars I could find, but I can't promise they'll help me remember your birthday. :)
Sadly, the beautiful feathers calendar above from The Wild Unknown is now sold out (that sort of what happens when Design Sponge writes about you), but a few similar calendars remain: Hawks & Bunnies, Songwriters and Lyrics and Feathers.
Love this Under the Sea Linen Calendar from Linea Carta (H/T Paris Hotel Boutique) 
Animal Pastimes calendar from Sadly Harmless -- is there a better kid's calendar out there? I think not.
While Flora Douville has closed her shop for the holidays, I'm hoping more of these lushly illustrated calendars will be available when she re-opens in January.
2010 Calendar from Caitlin Keegan 
Birds of a Feather Letterpress Tearaway calendar from YeeHaw
For someone as obsessed with polaroids as I am, the calendar from Alicia Bock is the perfect photo-based option.
