I used to buy my next year’s calendar at the store. Come November I’d have a reason to check out new book stores and see what was available. Maybe I’d see one that I didn’t like for myself, but I knew it would be a great present for a friend.
These days the books stores mostly stock a small variety from one or two companies. They are pretty generic, and if I want something I really like I have to go online.
I like the paper calendars because they feel more like decoration than a nagging reminder.
The problem is that there’s a feedback loop; fewer people want wall calendars, so the companies give fewer choices, so people stop looking for cool calendars, so the companies give fewer choices…
I ended up finding calendars.com and found one I liked. It’s not as much fun, though.
I looked at pocket planners, there’s a lot. Looking particularly for calendars created by small companies or associations, often with a cultural or political background.

Oh, I remember the times when there was all sorts of weird calendars in book stores!
Sadly I decided to go paperless a long time ago, but I think even then choices started being more limited and boring.

That redirects to www.calendarclub.co.uk for me. Maybe because I’m in Europe?
That’s the ultimate price we all pay for having this marvelous internet. (The internet is fun though)

As an experiment
Same on 2 browsers 🤷

Now we know.
Have a great day!
