A new year is almost here, and you'll be needing a new calendar, won't you?

And we've found an original, quirky example for you that has the new city at its heart.

The Milton Keynes Perpetual Calendar & Date Reminder kit is a pocket-sized pack with preprinted card that you use to make your very onw perpetual calendar, or date reminder.

"I know nowadays we've all got phones or coputers or tablets with our calendars on, but this is a great way to have a constant reminder of any important date that you don't want to forget," says creator Mike Spike.

> And for the Newportonians reading this: Mike has also created a Newport Pangell version featuring the historic buildings of the town.  That one can be purchased in thw town at either the card shop in Tickford Arcade, or the town post office.
