Desk Calendars

A gratitude calendar to keep you grounded…
This no-pressure one encourages you to jot down one thing a day. It has some inspirational quotes to help inspire you and get the good vibes flowing. Once the year comes to an end, you’ll get to look back at all the positive thoughts and moments you recorded. Let the good times roll. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A daily tear-off option to spark some positivity…
Vibrant illustrations and sweet affirmations? Count us in. This one is illustrated by Dani DiPirro, the artist behind the Instagram account @positivielypresent. We love this one for its everyday dose of good energy. ($16.19, Amazon)

A mini one that comes with a wooden stand…
This handmade option is covered in trendy terrazzo-inspired prints. Each monthly card is made of sturdy cardstock. Plus, it comes with a maple wood stand — but if you already have a stand you know and love, you can opt to just purchase the cards. Coming in at 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches, it’s equally as practical for small spaces as it is cute. ($10+, FavoriteStory via Etsy)

A “Jeopardy” calendar so you can get your trivia on…
If you’re a fan of the show or want to start your day with a little game, look no further than this tear-off option. Each day features a new clue with a dollar amount, and at the end of the year, there’s a Final Jeopardy round where you can wager all of your winnings for an extra-fun competition. Correct answers are printed on the back so you can easily check to see whether you’re right or wrong. What is….a fun thing to keep in your office? ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A desk calendar covered in fruit illustrations…
You can’t go wrong with Rifle Paper Co. when it comes to picking up a calendar for the new year. This one comes with 12 colorful fruit illustrations. The attached stand means it’ll be easy to prop anywhere in your space (a kitchen counter works perfectly). ($18, Rifle Paper Co.)

An option with a daily history lesson…
Calling all dads, everywhere. Each day features a plethora of historical tidbits from that day, including explanations on exciting inventions, influential events, and more from early civilization until now. Plus, it’ll make a perfect stocking stuffer for the history buff in your life. Give them some time travel in a box. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

One filled with funny cartoons from The New Yorker…
Whether you’re a loyal reader or are just here for the cartoons, this calendar features some of the magazine’s best illustrations — with topics ranging from politics and pets to entertainment, family, and more. A daily giggle? It’s good for you. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

One that’ll give you a morning dose of levity…
Let’s face it. This year has been quite the year. This calendar is bold, sarcastic, and has hilarious daily affirmations. We swear by it (literally). ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
Wall Calendars

A handmade gradient grid calendar…
Because aura prints are so in. Each month is covered in splashes of shapes and colors, and the daily boxes show what phase the moon is in. If you don’t know what to get your bestie for the holidays, problem solved. ($21.52+, OnceUponATuesdayUK via Etsy)

A photo calendar with watercolor accents…

An worldly calendar that you can reuse once you’re done…
Travel bugs, unite. This features 12 vintage-style illustrations that are so cute, you’ll want to reframe them for your space once the month’s done. It has a built-in tab, which makes it easy to hang on your walls. Your office called. It wants this ASAP. ($28, Anthropologie)

A calendar that doubles as a daily fidget toy…
What’s more satisfying than Bubble Wrap? A calendar covered in it. This poster-sized one lets you pop through an entire year. That’s right…365 bubbles. And even though we’re not really thinking about practicality here, significant holidays and days of the week are marked for easy reference. Let’s get popping. ($25, Uncommon Goods)

It also includes key literary dates, bookstore recs, and other bookish details. Scoop this one up. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A giant year-at-a glance option…
This calendar lets you see your plans for the entire year at once. It’s made on a heavyweight matte paper and there are focus-themed boxes so you can get really specific about your monthly goals.

An adorable take on a swimsuit calendar…
Heart so full. These 12 animals confidently strike their best pose and are ready to party. From a cocktail sipping lion to a snake ready to hit the pool, this one’s bound to bring some cheeky smiles.

The brand that makes our favorite Five Minute Journal also makes a productivity planner so you can mindfully set and accomplish your goals. It’s divided into two parts to make things easy.
