Vertex42 is a website business owners are sure to find handy.

They’ve got all manner of goodies including free calender templates for Excel or Open Office

When I’ve got the time I’m going to check out their free photo calender template. It’s only a personal use license, though, but, with some careful thought and the right photos, would make an ideal Christmas present for someone, or at least a nice stocking filler.

There’s lots more free stuff there too, such as invoice templates, weekly & monthly planners and a project management planner template.
