A new year means new opportunities to conquer your goals. No matter what you aspire to do, staying organized with a personalized calendar will help. But instead of rushing out and buying a calendar that you like, why not create one that you love? Calendars make great gifts too — and there's still plenty of time to design and order some before the holidays.

You can create the perfect customized calendar for the coming year with Mixbook. The platform launches new calendar designs that you can personalize every year. For 2024, Mixbook is adding several new family and pet-themed calendars. These designs are already live on the Mixbook site and waiting for your personal touch.

Making a calendar with Mixbook is easy. You can add as many or as few photos as you want. There are also no restrictions on how many special dates you can add to your calendar — meaning you can add every holiday, birthday, special event, and celebration that is important to you and your loved ones. If you've made a calendar with Mixbook before, you can simply import the dates that you created before. All of the dates you enter on your 2024 calendar will be saved for use on your 2025 calendar too.

New Family-Themed Calendars for 2024

Family-themed calendars are some of the most popular on Mixbook. You'll find designs that highlight different aspects of family life, like the Family Celebrations Calendar . You can also start with a Blank Canvas that you make completely your own.

Mixbook is launching three new family calendar themes for 2024. Each design comes pre-loaded with graphics, fonts, and page layouts. You can also start your calendar on any month you'd like. One popular option is to create a school-year calendar that runs from June 2024 to June 2025.

A Truly Neutral Baby Calendar Design

Aunts, uncles, and grandparents love receiving custom calendars with a year's worth of cute baby photos. Mixbook's new Baby by Martha Stewart calendar template features a gender-neutral design with soft clouds, stars, and heartwarming quotes. Of course, you can customize quotes and theme colors to your exact taste.

Try out this design if you're looking for the perfect gift for a family member who just can't get enough of your baby. Or, design a calendar for someone in your clan who had a baby during 2023.

Go with an Abstract Family Theme

You want to make a family calendar, but you don't want something that looks too cutesy for the office. Try the Abstract Family Calendar by Martha Stewart. Bright art in earth tones decorates this calendar that's part modern abstract, part 1970s graphic design. Keep the design fun by customizing quotes and special dates with witty quotes like "Don't forget that it's our Anniversary!"

Use this design if you want to have calendars printed for multiple family members. It's sophisticated enough to fit into any home. That means you won't have to spend extra time making totally custom calendars for everyone on your list.

Celebrate Your Children's Art Projects

Every parent knows the tense confrontation that happens when your kids catch you throwing away some of their precious art. You don't want to upset your kids, but you just don't have the storage space for thousands of paintings and drawings. Mixbook has the perfect solution.

You can make a keepsake calendar to 'store' all that art using the Kids Art Calendar by Crayola theme. It will clear up storage space and preserve your children's best artwork so that they can be enjoyed throughout the year.

New Pet-Themed Calendars for 2024

Pets are an important part of many families too. Celebrate your animal companions with one of Mixbook's fun new 2024 calendar designs. These templates, created in partnership with PetSmart, are designed to let you enjoy your pet's most memorable photos all year long.

Show Off Your Modern Cat

The Contemporary Cat Calendar by PetSmart features a split cover design with space for a photo of your cat alongside a line drawing of a friendly feline. Minimalist pages with short test and cat-centric drawings ensure that your companion's photos truly stand out. Choose this design if you want to make a cat calendar that would look good hanging in an art gallery.

Celebrate Your Chic Dog

Much like the cat calendar above, the Contemporary Dog Calendar by PetSmart features a stylish line drawing of a dog on the front cover. It's the perfect choice for the dog lover who wants to capture their canine companion's classier side. Modern drawings and short quotes are pre-loaded with this template, but you can customize them all to your needs.

Highlight Your Cat's Playful Side

Some cats aren't destined for an artistic calendar design. They're just too playful! That's why Mixbook is launching the Playful Everyday Cat Calendar by PetSmart. It features bright backdrops, sticker-style art, and adorable kitty phrases that will keep you smiling all year long.

Anyone who appreciates their cat's fun side will love making this calendar. It also makes a great gift for a child who wants a bright calendar of their favorite cat hanging on the wall.

Capture Your Dog's Fun Personality

Dogs are known for their fun, playful personalities. No doubt you have tons of snaps of your dog doing the silliest things. You can capture all those moments in the Playful Everyday Dog Calendar by PetSmart. It's a great pick if you're looking for a design with colorful stickers and cute dog puns.
