A new year means a chance to put a new planning system in place. I’m sharing my go-to yearly repurchases, along with some fun and different calendar options that are currently sitting in my cart. From dated and undated planners to wall and desk options, we have you covered. Stock up now so you can kick off the year feeling organized.

Wall Calendars

Uncommon Goods

An adorable take on a swimsuit calendar…

These 12 party-ready animals confidently strike their best pose. From a highland cow in a bikini to a bear on the beach, this one’s bound to bring some smiles. We’ve never seen anyone rock one-pieces, board shorts, and string bikinis better. ($20, Uncommon Goods)

An eye-catching Lego calendar…

This wall calendar is perfect for any of the Lego lovers in your life. Each month features a brick-inspired illustration — including colorful piles to a round-up of mini figures. Adults will love this one, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A calendar of random objects…

This calendar is a great reminder to find joy in the little things. It includes 12 illustrated spreads of random things from stickers and stamps to plants and ticket stubs. Hang it in your office space for an added statement. ($26.47, Kerrieillustrates via Etsy)

Rifle Paper Co.

A cheese-themed calendar for your kitchen…

You probably didn’t know you needed this, but you do. This one from Rifle Paper Co. features 12 cheesy illustrations, with dedications to feta, manchego, and gouda. I’m buying this one for my cheese-obsessed best friend. It’s a lifestyle. ($20, Rifle Paper Co.)

Ban.do

A wall calendar you’re going to want to save…

We love Ban.do because they work with some incredible artists and graphic designers. Their latest calendar includes spacious boxes for writing appointments and a whole sheet of stickers. At the end of the year, you can tear the illustrations off their spiral binding and frame them as prints. ($19.95, Ban.do)

A bright year-at-a-glance calendar…

We love this as another fun option for a home office. It’s so design-forward that it looks like a cool poster, but it’s really a wall calendar. It comes in a range of sizes as well, so you can find an option that works best for your space. ($13.62+, HarrietRubyCreates via Etsy)

The one my boyfriend gifts me year after year…

Shockingly, I cannot take any credit for discovering this. My boyfriend gifts me this every year for the holidays and it’s become a sweet tradition to look forward to. Each month features a piece of classical artwork that includes a reading woman. It’s a book lover’s Where’s Waldo when you flip the page each month, and I’m here for it. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Desk Calendars

Artifact Uprising

A mini photo calendar that’ll brighten up your desk…

Introducing the best gift for the person who’s impossible to shop for. The stand is sustainably handcrafted from reclaimed walnut wood and has a brass-coated clip to hold each month’s page. It’ll feature 12 photos of loved ones and good memories, and you can pick from a few design styles. ($35+, Artifact Uprising)

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. One daily giggle, just for you. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Anthropologie

A calendar that always makes for a stunning gift…

My mom gives refills of illustrator Karen Adams’ calendars to her friends every year. I love it for its charming illustrations and glitter detailing. This bundle comes with a gold easel. The best part: The packaging is so festive that you don’t have to gift wrap it. ($72, Anthropologie)

Buy it
Ban.do

A desk calendar for the reader in your life…

This one has an adorable wooden stand that’s shaped like a book and 12 arch-shaped spreads. Each one has a book motif and gold-foil detailing. Reuse each sheet as a bookmark when you’re done. ($22, Ban.do)

Amazon

A classic crossword tear-off…

There’s something so cozy and nostalgic about a crossword tear-off calendar. This one is from Will Shortz, the iconic New York Times editor, and includes a year’s worth of puzzles (with answers on the back of each sheet). It’ll make for a great screen-free ritual. Just add an emotional support beverage of your choice. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Planners

Target

An undated notepad to keep you organized…

This 150-sheet daily planner has boxes for tracking your to-dos, intentions, priorities, meal plan, and so much more. I love that it has a large hole in the upper left corner, so you can easily hang it up. It even comes with its own pen. Plus, the price is just too good. ($10, Target)

Buy it
Amazon

A quarterly productivity planner…

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. The first lets you rank your daily tasks, express gratitude, reflect through guided prompts, track your habits and moods, and time block your day. The second leaves space for you to write down any extra notes or do a quick journaling session. Plus, there are quarterly planning sheets and prompts, so you can list your intentions and what you want to focus on. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Rifle Paper Co.

The appointment calendar I’ve used for the last five years…

If you’re looking for a place to jot down daily appointments, this lightweight planner is for you. It’s super slim with a thread-stitched binding so it’s easy to take on the go. Each spread has plenty of space, a notes column where you can write down any extra thoughts, and stunning floral illustrations from Anna Rifle Bond. ($18, Rifle Paper Co.)

Papier

A personalized planner that does it all…

This classic option from Papier has everything you need to stay on top of your day. It has weekly, monthly, and yearly views for 2025, plus guided pages so you can set any important goals, dates, and tasks for the month. Your notes will stay protected thanks to its hard cover and thick, high-quality paper. Pick your cover, add your name, and get this planning party started. We love their finance planners, too.
