Top on the list of "taking the easy way out' holiday presents are; gift cards, money in increments greater than $20, either stuffed in a card or sent via Venmo, and then, of course, wall calendars! For many, the term "taking the easy way out" is used to describe a quick way to pick out essential gifts for family and friends to avoid having to do any heavy lifting or fancy footwork, and to also keep from embarrassing yourself if the proprietor of your gift doesn't care for your contribution. Overall, being a little lax and cautious this season in the "gift" department could save you money and time...but never let on (wink!)

Now, even though WALL CALENDARS are on the "taking the easy way out" list above, there are ways to put these "date trackers" in a category all their own. Wall calendars can become a separate entity once some thought is put into determining the type or style of calendar you plan to give. I mean, for the most part, we know on the surface what our friends and family members like, right? For instance, a puppy calendar might not be the right choice if your cousin loves muscle cars. The same goes for that particular aunt on your list who loves gardening. Likewise, you might want to steer clear of getting her a calendar with snakes on it unless she's a fan of amphibians and has a green thumb at the same time. Basically, go with what you know about your gift recipient's tastes and hobbies. After all, people enjoy when their gifts are catered to their personality. Plus, wall calendars are nice, flat, and easy to add to a box of gifts you already plan to mail. You can even order wall calendars from online sites and have them shipped directly by the seller to friends and family.

Amazon currently has top selling 2023 calendars available online. You can also check with several Butte businesses and stores in the surrounding area for a great selection of wall calendars. In maintaining somewhat of a PG-13 theme, below is a list of top choices for 2023! Happy CALENDAR hunting! Top Wall Calendars include Best of Golf; Stranger Things Season 4 (option HERE); Yellowstone Series; Bob's Burger's (option HERE); Hooters; National Geographic American Road Trips; Dogs Crapping in Beautiful Places (you heard correctly); James Webb Space Telescope; Marvel Comics; Avatar Franchise, Truly Blessed/Total Praise; Friends Series, Alex Grey Psychedelic Imaging (option HERE); Yoga Cats; and American Classic Cars.
