Nowadays having a physical calendar is far from a necessity. But you have to admit, there’s something about holding one in your hands, and scanning through its virgin pages that makes you feel incredibly organized and hopeful, like the months to come are full of possibility. Clicking through your Gmail calendar just doesn’t do that. You know what else it doesn’t do? Provide your life with some much-needed pretty. That’s why we’ve rounded up a selection of 20 calendars for 2012 that also function as mini works of art. Click through to check them out, and let us know in the comments which one you plan to use to cross off the days in 2012.
