"You always remember my birthday!"

Nothing cements a friendship like paying attention to the little personal details. Like remembering their birthday, anniversaries, the name of their dog, their favorite chardonnay or chocolate.

If you've ever forgotten the birthday of a good friend (or, worse still, your sweetie pie), we've got just the ticket. . . the Birthday & Anniversary Perpetual Calendar. The San Francisco Chronicle did a charming write-up when it debuted in December. (Click on the link to read all about it.)

Each month has a seasonal photograph taken by Daniel O’Connor along with the dates for recording birthdays and anniversaries. Now, instead of re-copying the information onto your calendar each year, you can do it once. As new kiddies and in-laws join your family, or as you learn the birthdays of friends, you can make additions.

It’s the next best thing to a perfect memory.

The calendar is available for $13.95
