    i got 2 calenders from Lidl the other day for £3, they're made of black card with the dates etc., already printed on, with little slots to put your photos into... very tasteful, would look good if you put the photos onto card as well so they were properly framed, then used photo mounting corners to hold them to the calender. that's what i'm going to do anyway.

    I did the Snapfish calendar last year which I loved because of being able to put personalised text for each day.

    However, I have to create Slim line calendars for my mum and these are in very short supply.

    in 2006 I used
    http://www.calendar-wizard.com/index/index.php

    I found the quality very good. But the calendars do not have bank hols etc printed on.

    So in 2007 I found one that had bank hols etc, but I found them to be not as good quality print and paper as calendar-wizard, and they had too much advertising (their website address printed on every page). I can't seem to find the website for it though.

    I just found this one:
    http://www.my-calendars.co.uk/slim_calendar?category_id=0
    Looks like they do bank hols pre-filled. But it doesn't seem to have the website printed on each page which is good. Bit steep though.

    Tesco are doing slimline ones with bank hols etc on, not sure about the advertising though. They are £9.97 each but on BOGOF at the mo.

    I haven't tried photo calenders, but last year I ordered some personalised calenders and you can put a message of your choice on the front page plus the recipients name on every page. They aren't cheap at £14.95, but you can give one to a couple like 'The Smiths' or 'Janet & John' and they are very nice. I have ordered more this year. You can choose from a variety of different styles too. From here -

    Hi,

    I got sent a code for 2 for the price of 1 on various photo gifts including calendars with www.photobox.co.uk

    The code is 241EARLY2008 and it says expires midnight 21st October 08.

    Hope this helps someone.

    I wasn't organised in time for the photobox calendars and hoped they would have more offers after 21/10 but they don't seem to, silly me! :o Are there any new photobox codes knocking around please? I want to add more than one photo on a page and have always used Truprint in the past.

    Will keep searching...

    Thanks if you can help.

    if you have your own photos poundland have print your own callender all you need to do is stick your photos on i thought this was great buy :D
  • Tracey J- I like truprint as well and I'm hoping a BOGOF deal comes soon. The Tesco BOGOF deal (expired now) only included an identical calendar- so wasn't any use to me as it's for presents to different people.

    If any one out there comes across a truprint BOFOF please post it, I will too.

    THank you
    Chrissie
