Practical Desk Calendars

Actually useful. Still funny. The holy grail of workplace gifts. Find the perfect calendars for every profession.

Why Practical Calendars

For people who think 'what's the point' when they see a decorative gift. These are gifts that earn their desk real estate by being genuinely useful—while still having enough personality to not be boring. Function meets irreverence.

Regular calendars show you inspirational quotes about believing in yourself. Our calendars show you the truth: that every day is another opportunity to question your life choices. A daily tear-off page of dark humor gives you something to look forward to each morning besides coffee. It's like a daily affirmation, but honest.
