Star Trek 2021 Wall Calendar

The STAR TREK 2021 WALL CALENDAR is 12 month calendar for 2021 that features images from the original Star Trek series. The title of the episode is listed below the image.  My favorite images are April, which features a snapshot from “Mirror Mirror,” and July, which features an photo from “Pluto’s Stepchildren.”  Makes a great gift for any fan of the original Star Trek.

 

Mary Engelbreit Collectible Print with 2021 Wall Calendar

Instead of promoting this as a calendar that comes with a print, the MARY ENGELBREIT 2021 COLLECTIBLE PRINT WITH WALL CALENDAR is a print that comes with a 2021 calendar. The print is a 9” x 12” print that is suitable for framing. The calendar that features 16 months (September – December 2020 are included on one page of the calendar).  Normally, having the last months of a year on the next year calendar would be a benefit, but 2020 has been so bad, you might just want to ignore that section all together and rip it out once January 2021 is over. The images are full of the sweet and homespunny paintings Engelbreit has become known. My favorite images are the one for July (which features a little boy and his dog sitting outside next to the front porch decked in American flags) and November (which reminds us to “Give Thanks for Blessings Already on Their Way”). Fans of Mary Engelbreit will probably really enjoy this calendar as a gift, but it’s also suitable to give to anyone in general. 

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Normal Rockwell Pop-Up Advent Calendar

When I was a kid, my Mom used to have a really cute Advent Calendar that we used each year to count down the days to Christmas. I’ve always had a soft spot for them. I’ve also been a lifelong fan of Norman Rockwell; he’s my favorite artist of all time. So, the METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART NORMAN ROCKWELL POP-UP ADVENT CALENDAR is the perfect item for someone like me. The calendar itself unfolds into a rather large display of Rockwell’s painting “Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas.” The windows of the calendar are 2 inches squared and each one features a different Norman Rockwell painting. There are also some slide action pieces. Overall, it’s a rather impressive Advent Calendar filled with the art of Norman Rockwell.
