Hallmark used to have a small, free handbag calendar that was fantastic. The last time I saw one was a few years ago, and they were now charging for it. Even the bank no longer gives one out. People are really into their tech. My planner gets a lot of snarky comments.

It was a little weekly diary with a paper cover, and contained lots of Scotland-specific dates. I collected them every year I could, which was back before we lived in Scotland and were coming here on our holidays. Getting this little diary every year meant making sure to buy Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-90970998924397244282016-01-15T08:43:44.477-05:002016-01-15T08:43:44.477-05:00Not so much anymore.

There have been years when I was inundated with calendars from the insurance company, various vendors, banks, grocery stores, etc. and I gave those away as well. There's only one calendar that I insist on having every year: it's a three-month wall calendar that I can only get from our food rep and it is awesome. I need that calendar to function!

Apart from a few small businesses (eg car repair garages and trades such as builders) it seems to have largely died out here. Even our local weekly newspaper didn't bother this year.
