Is there a unique, fun, or cool kind of calendar that you get each year?

I’m looking for ideas for 2010. This year we had Buffy the Vampire Slayer, last year we had The Simpsons and a Jeopardy! tear-away calendar with a different clue each day. Also, every Christmas, I get my husband a Chik-fil-a calendar to use at work.

The New Yorker Desk Calendar (Cartoons!)
Not sure if they still make ‘em, but, I’ve always loved the Far Side tear-away calendars.
@lynneblundell : That’s so cute! Maybe I’ll get one of those for my side of the bedroom. ;)
@jmah: I do love the Far Side comics. I think they still make them, just with recycled cartoons.
I like getting children’s calendars. This year, it was My Little Pony, and last year, Snow White. I don’t know what one I will be getting for next year.
I get this St. Jude’s calendar every year. It’s for a good cause.
I love birds, so I get the Birds & Blooms calendar for hanging in the kitchen. It has beautiful pictures & big boxes to write in.
I always get sent he Sierra Club calendar because I am a member. Great pictures of nature and lots of room to write appointments on (for those of us who still “pencil things in.”)
I always get one from the Disabled Veterans of America Association. I send them $$$ for the veterans, and they send me a new calendar every year. Great deal, as both sides win.
I buy the Sierra Club for the donation and the large blocks for writing, and I enjoy the one from my niece. It features many pictures of her two adorable sons and all the pertinent events in their lives.
I used to have a far side calendar… now i’m waiting for someone to make a “The Girls of Fluther” calendar… that one will sell like pancakes.
@jmah i’d nominate you for april
I typically go “fan girl” with my calendars—I’ve had a Spike calendar (reused several times), a Doctor Who calendar and a Torchwood calendar. I also like art calendars; a friend gave me a pop-up Egyptian art calendar once, and I also have used a “famous paintings of Japan” calendar in the past.
Next year…who knows. I might see if I can find another Torchwood calendar, or maybe another TV show, like Bones or NCIS.
@evegrimm both awesome shows… I would not mind looking at Emily Deschanel or Cote de Pablo on a daily basis.. in fact, i think i do anyway!
@Dr_C : Perhaps there should also be a boys of fluther! (or men, for those of use who are over 18).
Every year I get a wolf calendar, and one we get free from our electric company. This year I got a Maxine the Great for the kitchen. Last couple of years I got dragon calendars, but they got too expensive! Don’t know about this year.
How about a calendar that shows a different kind of calendar every month?
Also, homemade ones with pictures of family are always neat to give or receive.
@erichw1504 : Yes, I agree! My husband made me one for our first anniversary, which is “paper.” We also made some for relatives for Christmas. They go over very well.
I use my computer Calender and my pocket calender it helps me remember appointments .
