A list of cool calendars and cute planners to get inspired (and organized) in the new year. Truly so many good ones!
Typically, at the start of each new year (or the end of the current one), I get an urge to plan, plan, plan for the upcoming year. Daydreaming about what I hope to accomplish, alongside practical brainstorming that’s maybe a little more realistic.
In case you get a similar urge to what I described, I put together a list of cute and cool 2026 calendars and planners, just in case.
My favorite calendars and planners for getting things done…
So many of us love a simple calendar and this one fits the bill. But an added bonus with this one is that you can keep the metal bracket year after year and order a refill at a more affordable price for future years.
The chartreuse color of this calendar is perfection.
Great size for a small space! And hits all the neutral, earthy vibes. This is the calendar I bought for myself this year and I’m so happy with it.
It was designed and printed by artist Mo Neuharth and you can see more of the designs in the first photo on this post. I can’t wait to frame each print as the months go by.
Minimalist deisgn done well! BFD has some really beautiful items.
Big and bold!
If you like to keep things brief, with just a quick note or word for each day of the year, this calendar is for you.
This calendar is stunning (and I’m not even into fish in general). If I hadn’t already bought number 3 on the list, I would have bought this.
Another cool risograph planner. This time, from artist Robyn A Frank.
Cute, simple, and affordable!
Everything from Wilde House is perfectly done! My mind if swirling with journaling ideas for this particular notebook. I love it.
Technically, this one isn’t a planner. But if you’re in artist, a new sketchbook totally counts imo.
Comes in several differnt colors.
Love the size of this one and the minimal design.
Again, comes in several differnt colors. If you can’t already tell, if I had an unlimited budget, I would buy one of everything from WMS & Co. Such a great store. You have to check it out!
I appreciate the open-endedness of this planner pad. And obviously this color combo is perfection.
Record your monthly intentions and more with a month to month planner.
This one is fancy, hence the pricetag. But they’re also handmade and will last! So, if you’re in the market for a special one, check out Paper Republic. They have smaller size versions to that are under $100.
Like some of the others on this list, this deskpad is planner adjacent. It has 60 pages (all undated), so you can brainstorm / plan your month at a glance over and over and over again. Just bought this for myself!
And to round things out, here are a few more 2026 calendars and planners…
Had one of these last year and it was great.
This perpetual calendar looks like a work of art. No wonder it’s from MoMA.
It’s a classic! Had to put it in here. I know so many people use these year after year now, but that’s bc they’re great! They take up a lot of surface space on a wall (in a good way). Kind of like really inexpensive wall art, with a function.
You can use this desk calendar year after year and it looks cool too. Comes in several colors.
I had this calendar one year and it’s great! It’s a good size, not too big, not too small. And looks cute / cool on the wall.
That’s it for now. 29 cute and cool planners / calendars. And I’d literally use absolutely every single one of them. Just not at the same time.
What about you??? And are you more of a calendar person, a planner person, or both?
