Calendar shopping is not what it used to be.

With the closure of so many brick and mortar stores, I admit I do a lot more Amazon shopping than I used to. And as much as I dislike the idea of lining the already full to bursting pockets of Jeff Bezos, it’s hard to argue with the ease and convenience he provides.

Will I get in the car and drive an hour to the mall, fight the last minute Christmas shopping crowds and drive an hour back through mad traffic just to purchase my yearly calendar?

I will not.

I’ll just sit on the couch, cruise Amazon, push a button and have it in my mailbox in two days.

Of course, calendar shopping isn’t what it used to be.

As proof, I offer these three selections that popped up during my search.

Uh… no thanks.

I see enough of that in person.

That’s a definite hard pass. I don’t need twelve months of rhinoceros urination.

Price drop?

I can’t imagine why those aren’t flying off the shelf.

So I ask again, who buys these things and why are they so preoccupied with poop?

  4. I can see these as gag gifts or white elephant gifts. But those are so gross. Brick & Mortar still exist where I live. Fuck Amazon, until i have no other choices will be the day I Succumb to that company.

  5. I get so many pretty calendars as freebies that if I weren’t so practical I would never buy a calendar but since for the last few years our lives were dominated by medical appointments I’ve been buying this handy dandy calendar with magnets on the back so it sticks to the fridge and the boxes are big enough to write appointments and reminders in…(Why are human beings in general so fascinated by poop? Someone, somewhere must have researched this obsession…)

  6. Completely agree, those calendars are definitely out there!

    Makes you wonder what’s behind the minds of the creators and buyers.

    Animal calendars can be so cute, but those ones… yikes! I’m just relieved my Snookums calendar sticks to adorable pups.

  8. I think I got 3 free calendars from various businesses this year. Two had 12 months of pretty MN scenery, and one was Chinese themed (from an Asian restaurant nearby). I always put them out as prizes for my students when we play holiday bingo, and they always get snatched up. No way I’d put those out for my students (or every buy one for anyone). Animals lounging? Yes. Animal babies? Yes. Animals doing their businesses. No.
