– December is approaching, and the date on your calendar is going to be changed. If you want a new year calendar as a present for yourself or as a gift for family members, here are some points to consider when choosing one.
– In considering what kind of calendar you will buy, first consider what need it will meet. For example, suppose you want to receive memos from everyday birthdays or anniversaries throughout the year. In that case, a standard wall calendar with a page per day can serve this purpose. The advantage of many Australian calendars with daily pages is that there’s no need to turn over more than one sheet each month – very convenient when you want to make notes on dates. By contrast, planners who only have one monthly spread per page require you to turn over multiple pages per month, which can be bothersome if you want to write memos.
– The main difference between planners and wall calendars is that the former allows you to arrange dates freely by changing the number of days in each month or adding or omitting a day at the beginning of each year. Planners are usually more expensive than standard wall calendars, but they provide more convenience because they perfectly meet your needs.
– If there’s only one important event every month, such as an anniversary or visit from relatives, then it could be convenient for this event to take up two adjacent pages instead of occurring on one single sheet during that period. This format also makes it easy to compare different months’ events side-by-side.
– If you want your year calendar to serve as a journal, then it can be more attractive to purchase one with quotes or photos on each page rather than standard formats, which are plain and only allow the storage of dates. Choose a calendar that you think is suitable for your idea of what “beautiful” means.
– Consider how much space there is between the lines on each day’s spread, especially if you like writing large letters or numbers. Generally speaking, horizontal lines are thicker than vertical ones (especially on planners), so consider this point when making your choice.
– As well as considering these points, first, ask yourself how much money you can afford to spend on the new calendar for next year – that way, you can narrow the range of your search.
If you still can’t choose one, then it would be best to buy a new year calendar with some extra pages in it to add important events yourself.
– When buying calendars as gifts for others, preferably buy them something which will remind them of happy times and memories every day throughout the coming year.
