Although many digital devices have electronic calendars that are conveniently updated and eco-friendly, many people still love having physical paper versions around their homes and offices; the Calendar Postcard can bridge the gap between the two. Although not as environmentally conscious as computer and smartphone calendars, the Calendar Postcard is a perpetual date keeper that can be used for any day of any month.
Available online and in store at Up To You Toronto, the Calendar Postcard comes with a magnet ring that allows it to be fixed onto fridges, filing cabinets and other metal surfaces easily. This magnet ring also acts as the date keeper. It circles the number of the specific day in a particular month. Nevertheless, it doesn't have any other typical calendar information such as the name of the month or day.
