There are the photos we take and the ones we look at. In between, there is often a full phone and no one opening the gallery. A wall calendar changes that: twelve photos of your family, hung in the kitchen, before your eyes all year long. Here is how to prepare one without spending an entire Sunday doing it.
Twelve photos, one for each month: how to choose
The quickest method is to follow the year rather than photographic quality. January, the snow or the sofa. April, the first weekend outdoors. August, the holidays. December, the dinner table. You don't need twelve masterpieces: you need twelve recognizable moments.
Some useful guidelines:
- Vary the scene formats. Twelve close-up portraits get boring. Alternate between faces, groups, and landscapes.
- Include everyone. Make a list of family members and check them off as you go: there is always someone you forget.
- Avoid photos that are too dark. An image that looks a bit dull on a screen will be even duller on paper.
- Use the originals, not versions received via messaging apps: compression has already removed a lot of detail.
If you are unsure about the size of your files, our page on the resolution required for a high-quality print provides concrete guidelines.
A4 or A3: the real difference
The two 2027 calendars are identical in content: 14 pages, spiral binding, a different photo possible for each month, French public holidays included. What changes is the space it takes up on the wall.
- The A4 calendar, €26.90 — 21 × 29.7 cm. The format that fits everywhere: on the fridge, in a hallway, or above a desk.
- The A3 calendar, €28.90 — 29.7 × 42 cm. Two euros more for a photo twice as big. This is the one to get if the kitchen is the real hub of the house, or if you are giving the calendar to grandparents.
In both cases, shipping is included in the price shown, even if you only order one.
Making it in twenty minutes
You upload your images to our online workshop, place them on the screen month by month, add text if you want—a first name, a birthday, a family joke—and place your order. No account to create, and your photo does not leave your browser until the payment stage.
A tip on the method: first gather your twelve files into a folder, renamed "01", "02", "03". The time spent in the workshop then takes a few minutes instead of an hour spent digging through your camera roll.
A calendar for every household in the family
It is the gift that naturally multiplies: the same design can be sent to the grandparents, the sister, the cousins, the godfather. You build it once, you order six.
And from 10 items in your cart, the discount is 10%; from 25, it increases to 15%. It applies automatically to your cart, with no code to enter. Items are cumulative even if they are different: eight calendars and two mugs total ten items. For comparison, ten mugs come to €152.10 instead of €169.00.
A note of caution: the three wooden frames are excluded from this discount and do not count towards the threshold. The details of what is included in the calculation are on the custom goodies in bulk page.
When to order so it arrives on time
A 2027 calendar gifted on January 3rd has already lost some of its appeal. Aim for mid-December at the latest, and ideally November if you are ordering several.
Nothing is in stock: each calendar is printed to order, in France. The site states 5 to 10 business days, including manufacturing and shipping—count on one week, and a little more during the busy holiday season. If you want the family calendar under the tree, our page on when to order a personalized Christmas gift details the dates not to miss.
One final point, stated frankly: a personalized product does not allow for a right of withdrawal (Article L221-28 3° of the Consumer Code). However, any printing, manufacturing, or transport defect will be replaced or refunded. So, take five minutes to re-read your twelve pages before confirming—it is the only moment when an error can be corrected for free. Shipping is included to France, the EU, the UK, Switzerland and the United States.
