Whenever a new year looms ahead, a new calendar is one of those things we look for. For the obvious reason, of course – to change those calendars hanging on our walls or placed on our desks.
Among the traditional calendars we see in homes are free calendars from groceries, restaurants or stores the homeowners frequently visit. Sometimes, you would also get calendars printed on canvas, which normally have default designs, are unattractive and definitely not unique.
But as we say “hello” to a brand new year, you might want to consider changing from “traditional” to “what’s hot.”
Why not have your own photos in your calendars?
If you’d take time to look around, you’ll discover there are a lot of available photo calendars online, calendars that are affordable and feature your favorite photos customized according to your needs.
You can even make various calendar designs, depending on where you want your calendars placed and how you want them used.
Here are some examples of awesome photo calendars:

What makes a kitchen calendar different from any other calendar is that it contains ample space for your daily notes and still retains the feature of a photo calendar.
Sized at 13 cm x 29.7 cm, you have the space to remind you of anniversaries, birthdays, important reminders and bills that need to be settled. You can even write the week’s menu in your kitchen calendar so everyone in the family can check it out.
