Ready to move on to 2025? Hoping it will be better? If so you’ll want to enter my giveaway for a 2025 calendar. My friends at Workman Publishing, who make the best calendars, sent along a bunch of cool ones and I’m excited to share them.
Are you a calendar girl? Here are Cool 2025 Calendar!
I use my iCal on my iPhone for most appointments and events. However, I’m an old-fashioned calendar gal who still likes a hard copy wall calendar to keep in my office or kitchen. I like to see the month’s activities on one page and know when to send out birthday wishes to family and friends.
What type of calendar do you like?
Page-A-Day Calendars
Page-A-Day Calendars sit on your desktop and focus on new content each day. There is everything from “Walks of the World, featuring 25 multiday hikes and adventurous hut-to-hut treks in some of the world’s most interesting places, to Brainpower Puzzles, a year of entertaining puzzles from brain-training and puzzle expert Dr. Gareth Moore, and Calm Coloring, featuring Zendoodle patterns to color yourself calm.”
Some of my favs are the popular New York Times Crossword and Mini Crossword Page-A-Days (I’m a big fan of the Mini Crossword and do it each morning online). There’s also Cooking Page-A-Day with recipes to inspire foodies all year long.” (I subscribe to the Cooking app which has great recipes.) According to Workman these calendars sold out last year, so if you’re interested in purchasing as holiday gifts be sure to buy them early. All can be ordered on the Workman website.
If you’re a pickleball fan like me, you’ll like the new Pickleball Is Life! Page-A-Day “with trivia and tips for the fastest-growing sport in the country.” Ooh, ooh, ooh, read to the end as this is one of the giveaway calendars!
Wall Calendars
Wall calendars come in regular and mini versions.
For animal lovers there are fun calendars like How To Speak Cat, How To Speak Dog, and How To Think Like A Horse. Or for the more adventurous, check out Dogs On Vacation or Travel Cats.
Birders will enjoy two new minis joining the Audubon line, featuring Hummingbirds and Cardinals.
New wall calendars include Big Wave Surfing, A Calendar For Book Lovers, and a Habit Tracker.
Some of my fav wall calendars are two focused on mindfulness and yoga. A Calendar of Calm with pictures and quotes for a tranquil life and Yoga is My Happy Place showcasing joyful bodies of different shape, size and identity in illustrated poses. As a yogi I hope to renew my meditation and yoga practice in 2025 which dwindled somewhat this past year.
More calendar styles and themes
Workman Calendars come in other shapes and sizes. There are weekly planners like the Sierra Club 2025 Engagement Planner; easel desk calendars such as Paris Art 2025; and journal offerings including You Are Creative Journal to spark and track year-round creativity and discoveries. Whichever theme or style you prefer, there’s a calendar to match the most out-there interests and tastes.

Pickleball was a lifesaver for me moving to a new community as a widow!
