In an age dominated by smartphones and digital reminders, you might think that calendars have lost their charm. However, paper calendars still have their place, especially in our house – I still like a paper calendar in the kitchen where it’s easy for the whole family to glance at upcoming birthdays, appointments, holidays, or even reminders for car insurance and MOTs.

With such a wide variety of calendars available it’s easy to choose one to perfectly match the recipients’ interests. Whether they’re passionate about cookery, enchanted by nature or devoted to a football team there’s a Danilo calendar to suit every personality.

The Planet Earth II Official 2025 Calendar showcases stunning photographs of the natural world, capturing the beauty and wonder of the iconic BBC series. Each month offers a breathtaking new image, with ample space to jot down important dates making it the perfect Christmas gift.  

RRP £10.99

Perfect for the home or the office the RHS Flowers desk easel calendar makes a great stocking filler or even a Secret Santa gift. Celebrating Women in Horticulture, it features exquisite illustrations by renowned artists like Lilian Snelling, Lydia Penrose, and Caroline Maria Applebee. The spiral bound month-to-view design is not only functional but creative – the beautiful image for each month is also a postcard that can be removed and kept or posted to a friend.

DANILO Star Wars Musical Advent Calendar

The 1st December is only 4 weeks away so it’s time to start thinking about advent calendars. Whether you prefer a chocolate advent calendar or one of the more extravagant versions you are going to be spoilt for choice with the huge selection of calendars available this year.

Danilo are Europe’s number one publisher of licensed calendars and The Review Studio team were really impressed with their Star Wars musical advent calendar, which is the perfect choice for Star Wars fans both young and old.

With a Hoth Ice Planet backdrop, the calendar opens out to create a Star Wars scene, the numbered doors on the base of the calendar lift up to reveal characters from the film and the doors on the backdrop have trivia and stickers behind them. The calendar is cleverly designed with a ribbon keeping the backdrop standing up and the three magnetic characters – C3P0, R2-D2 and Yoda can be placed on the base of the calendar and when the button is pressed move around to the Star Wars theme.

The sound quality is surprisingly good and the batteries can be replaced so this calendar can be used year after year. Whilst it doesn’t contain chocolate of gifts, it’s certainly a winner from a novelty point of view – it’s not just the children who loved pressing the button and watching the characters move around the base!!

This calendar is a great alternative for those who don’t or can’t eat chocolate and as long as you love the Star Wars theme, as that button will be pressed multiple times a day, it is a fantastic novelty way to count down the days to Christmas.
