There's the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew In Colour Calendar 2025
for £10.99.  

Calendars give you structure;  if you get a wall calendar for instance, you can see at a glance what is coming up in the week, or the month.  They're instantly visible.   And they can help you make sure you get balance in your life, so long as you remember to look for some - is your week all about work and appointments, or have you got time planned in to meet a friend for coffee or go to an event you want to attend?

Calendars can not only help you keep track of your plans - they can remind you to create some!  As well as routine appointments, you can make sure you've got balance with fun things to do, events you want to attend, breaks to go on, even if they are for the day.  And of course the other thing about calendars is that you can give someone a gift which is close to their heart and matches their interests and passions.   Calendars can also brighten up a room and help a cause!
