6. Amazing agenda by graphic designer Julie Joliat. Seriously, I’m so bummed I already bought my agenda (a classic moleskine), otherwise I would order this in two seconds. “This Agenda will take you on a year-long journey to the most astounding features of the planet. It will reveal famous places in an unsual way, giving freedom to your imagination. You are invited to draw and re-invent the places you know, as well as the ones you still have to discover.
It also contains a lot of useful information like Holidays, laundry symbols, a vintage chart, monthly planners, and a whole new set of world maps!” It’s basically the perfect gift for anyone that loves architecture, traveling or drawing. So so cool. Let’s hope Julia Joliat makes these again next year! (source)
