Rubbish family calendars

Just wasted an hour of my life looking for a family calendar. Everything’s so bloody twee. Has anyone had any success finding something more attractive?

Busybee have pretty plain ones

National trust ones are lovely or a really boring plan one from WH Smith's.
We have the Smiths one as it starts in September. And has five columns

I always have the RNLI Jackie Gale one. It’s perfect for us. Might still be too cutesy for you though.

I make my own on the card websites (funky pigeon etc) with photos from the previous year. So, eg. January 2025 are photos from January 2024 so I can see what we were doing a year ago that month. They are quite good quality.

I get the Boxclever Family Planner every year. It's got loads of room and 6 columns so one column per person (plus dog) and a pencil at the bottom, a pouch at the back where appointment letters etc go and even stickers (although I rarely use them).

We use the WHSmiths A3 whole year wall planner. Absolutely nothing twee about that. But it’s not v attractive either. Swings and roundabouts!

Yes, I found one with bright coloured abstract pattern in the garden centre, there is also a stall in the shopping centre that sells al sorts of calendars. You might have been looking in the wrong place!

Another vote for boxclever

I went for the I love birds calendar fans bought it for a tenner on Amazon. Line drawings of birds that are attractive but not cutesy
