So, as we close out the year, consider giving the gift of a calendar to a friend or loved one, as it simply is the best way to relive those moments from the year that will keep on giving your gift recipient all the feels from your greatest moments together into the new year.

Check out this premium designer calendar round-up.

Physical Calendars Offer Something Digital Options Don't

There is no denying the importance of technology in our everyday lives — and when there is a high-tech solution, many jump at the opportunity to try it out. However, there are some instances where physical, low-tech products shine based on how they function or what they bring to someone's daily experiences.

At Mixbook, it's all about marrying the functionality of a technology-driven design tool and the beauty of a premium printed product.

Calendars Are a Two-in-One Gift

Designing and creating a personalized calendar for someone who loves putting pen to paper is the perfect way to nail a two-in-one gift that keeps on giving. Select photos the recipients will love so they can look back on past memories as they look ahead and plan their future. This experience is especially moving during the holidays. During the holiday season, so many reflect on the year but are excited about the year ahead, too. A calendar serves both of these purposes.

Like all Mixbook calendars, the creative process is completely customizable. Add photos, text, stickers, and backgrounds to make your gift one-of-a-kind. You can even add events to the calendar that will make the recipient smile — like, "Don't forget my birthday!"

Calendars for Kids

Gifting a calendar to a kid is a great way to encourage organization, even for young children. Calendars offer more than concepts surrounding time and planning. For young kids, calendars can help with their vocabulary and teach them sequencing, patterning, etc. For older children, calendars can help encourage planning skills, which benefits them inside and outside of school.

Here are some examples of what you can gift:

  • Crayola and creative kids go hand-in-hand, so the Kids Art Calendar by Crayola is the perfect gift for any little artist. Whether your five-year-old daughter loves to hang her drawings on the fridge or your twelve-year-old nephew is becoming quite the watercolor artist, this calendar can help showcase their work, growth, and love for creativity.
  • The Best Year Ever Calendar by Martha Stewart is another excellent way to highlight the best moments of a child's year. This practical gift can help them plan for the next year while offering a time capsule of memories.

Calendars for Spouses

Are you running out of winning ideas of what to give your spouse? If they have hinted they don't need another pair of slippers, it's time to rethink the gifting process. Some of the best gifts are those that are unexpected yet thoughtful. A calendar that includes priceless moments is just that — it is something that will make them smile every time they look at it.

Here are some suggestions:

  • The Abstract Family Calendar by Martha Stewart helps you highlight the most important people in your spouse's life. This gift provides an opportunity to reflect on the beautiful people your spouse loves the most. For someone who has everything, this is the type of gift they will treasure. This design is also available as a customizable Abstract Family Book.
  • The Everyday Pet Calendar by PetSmart (also available in a cat version) is the perfect gift for those who LOVE their pets. Does your spouse love photos of your dog at the cottage? Do you have a pile of adorable kitty photos that can be organized by month? This calendar helps you remember those everyday moments with your four-legged pals.

Calendars for Grandparents

Grandparents play such a special role in a family. To the grandchildren, they are the heroes who are willing to play with them for hours on end. To you, they are mom and dad — you share a bond. Whether you have teenagers or are about to celebrate your baby's first birthday, grandparents love nothing more than photos of their grandbabies. When presented in a calendar format, they enjoy double the value.

Here are some of the best options:

  • The Baby Calendar by Martha Stewart allows grandparents to display those precious moments — you with your sleeping newborn or the first time your baby crawled. Hand-pick the memories that shine so that they can live on in a beautifully-printed calendar.
  • The World's Best Grandparents Calendar by Hallmark is the perfect way to show grandparents how special they are to your family. Add photos of your kids and memories of everyone together. Add multiple photos to select months, or let one key photo shine based on the month. For example, you could include images of your kids' Halloween costumes for October.
