The Page-A-Day® Format

Workman invented the Page-A-Day® desk calendar in the 1970s and it remains the format they do better than anyone. The idea is simple: instead of a single monthly image, every day gets its own page with fresh content. Tear it off each morning and you get a new photo, puzzle, fact, or piece of art. The format sits flat on a desk, takes up minimal space, and gives the day a small but reliable moment of interest. Most Page-A-Day® calendars run 16 months, starting in September of the prior year, so you can put them to work right away.

Pet Calendars

The 365 Cats Page-A-Day® and 365 Dogs Page-A-Day® calendars are two of the bestselling desk calendars in the country and have been for years. Each one delivers a new photo every day: different breeds, ages, and personalities, all shot with real care. Beyond those flagships the collection includes Bad Cat, Dog Page-A-Day Gallery, 365 Kittens-A-Year, and 365 Puppies-A-Year, the last two in a picture-a-day format with larger images. If you know someone who loves their pet or animals in general, any of these is an easy and reliable gift that holds up all year.

Puzzles and Brain Games

Workman has partnerships with the New York Times and MENSA that give their puzzle calendars real credibility. The New York Times Crossword 2027 Page-A-Day® brings a daily crossword at varying difficulty, exactly as it appears in the paper. The Original Sudoku Page-A-Day® ranges from beginner grids to expert-level challenges. MENSA 365 Brain Puzzlers works through logic problems, lateral thinking, and number challenges that go well beyond standard crosswords. For shorter sessions, MENSA 10-Minute Crossword Puzzles keeps each puzzle completable in a single coffee break. These are the calendars people keep on their desks specifically because they make a five-minute break feel productive.

Trivia and Facts

Workman's trivia titles are built around specific interests rather than general knowledge. The Official 365 Sports Facts-A-Year covers history, statistics, and records across major sports. 365 Days of Amazing Trivia pulls from science, history, culture, and nature with the kind of facts that stick with you. 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said is exactly what it sounds like: a daily reminder that history is full of spectacularly bad takes. 365 New Words-A-Year, developed with MENSA, builds vocabulary one word at a time with definitions and usage. These work well for anyone who likes learning in small doses.

Art, Books, and Culture

The Art Page-A-Day® Gallery and Cat Page-A-Day® Gallery formats use a larger, higher-quality print than the standard desk format, presenting one artwork per day in a size worth actually looking at. The 2027 art collection includes Audubon Birds, Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell's Fantasy art, and the Collectible Teapot wall calendar for collectors. On the literary side, Everyday Shakespeare delivers a daily quote with context that makes the language accessible. The Year of Reverse Coloring and Secret Garden wall calendars bring an artistic and meditative element to the collection. Pantone fans will find both a wall calendar and a desk calendar built around the color authority's annual palette work.

Nature and Travel

Workman's nature titles are built on the Audubon name, one of the most trusted in American conservation. Audubon Nature 2027 Page-A-Day® Gallery and Audubon Birds 2027 Page-A-Day® both feature photography from the Audubon Society's archives, with species information and conservation notes alongside the images. The 1000 Places to See Before You Die wall calendar draws from the bestselling travel book series, pairing destination photography with the kind of brief, evocative descriptions that make you want to look up flights. 365 Days in Italy rounds out the travel section with daily photography from across the country for anyone with Italy on their list.
