Calendars for 2027

Abstract art with words that stay with you — meet Raissa Oltmanns.

Which theme did you choose for your calendar, Raissa — and what drew you to it?

Abstract art, dreamy colours, and words that actually mean something. This calendar isn't just easy on the eye — it inspires, uplifts, and gives you a little breathing room for positive thinking, every single day.

Which motif in the calendar means the most to you — and why?

What if you fly? This is the question artist behind "Darling, but what if you fly?" wants you to sit with. It's an invitation to think bigger, back yourself, and be a little brave.

What was your first impression when you unwrapped the calendar?

Really impressed! The fine-art paper feels beautifully luxurious, the colours are brilliantly vivid, and the finish turns it into a proper showstopper — one you'll want to get up close and admire.

Where does your wall calendar live — team kitchen or team office?

Definitely a desk essential. It brings fresh motivation to your working day — just the right balance of focus and creative energy.

Be kind to your mind — artwork by Vanessa Reimer

Which theme did you choose for your calendar, Vanessa — and what drew you to it?

I chose self-love — the quiet kind. Noticing the small things, and treating yourself with the same patience you'd offer someone you care about. It's something I feel strongly about, and it shaped every page of this calendar. Month by month, it's a gentle nudge to slow down, savour the good moments, and be a little kinder to yourself along the way.

Which motif in the calendar means the most to you — and why?

It'd have to be *Be Kind To Your Mind*. It gets me every time I see it — because it's exactly the reminder I need on a busy or overwhelming day. We're so much harder on ourselves than we'd ever be with a friend, aren't we? Some days the thoughts get loud and critical. Having those words somewhere visible pulls me back towards a gentler way of treating myself. A small phrase, but it carries a lot.

Where does your wall calendar live — team kitchen or team office?

I'm fully team office. It hangs right at my desk, catching my eye several times a day — usually in those brief pauses between tasks. It's one of those small joys that lifts my mood during the working day: a quiet reminder to be a little kinder to myself before moving on to the next thing.
