What are the best 2027 desk and wall calendars?

On published specs, the best 2027 calendars from nice-stationery makers are Hobonichi’s whiteboard calendar, MIDORI’s MD desk calendar and Rifle Paper Co.’s wall and appointment calendars. There’s no single #1, because each does a different job: a whiteboard you reuse, paper you write on at a desk, or art for a wall.

• Best rewritable calendar: Hobonichi Whiteboard Calendar 2027. Why it’s here: it’s the only pick you can wipe and rewrite, so it beats the paper calendars for a shared plan that keeps changing; Hobonichi says it has been LOFT’s best-selling calendar in Japan for 21 years.
• Best desk calendar for writing: MIDORI MD Desk Calendar 2027. Why it’s here: it’s the only pick that stands on a desk and the only one printed on 80 g/m² MD Paper, and it’s in a lower band ($$) than the other three; made in Japan.
• Best illustrated wall calendar: Rifle Paper Co. 2027 Wall Calendar. Why it’s here: 11 × 17 in of florals or travel maps made in the USA, from the maker with the most US reviews of the four when we checked; buy it for the art, not the writing room.
• Best for appointments: Rifle Paper Co. 2027 Appointment Calendar. Why it’s here: it keeps Rifle Paper Co.’s art but gives more writing room each month than the wall calendar, in a tall Floral or wide Paisley design.

For a free alternative, our printables page has 2027 calendars to print at home in A5, A6, B6 and TRAVELER’S notebook sizes.

How did we choose these picks?

We compiled these picks from published sources, not hands-on testing: each maker had to list a 2027 edition on its own site, sell it in the US and publish its size and paper. We then compared the makers’ specs and claims, US reviews at Amazon US and the makers’ US stores, and price band.

We left out office desk pads and mass-market photo calendars to keep to nice stationery.

How do the 2027 calendars compare?

They split by surface: paper you keep, paper as art, or a whiteboard you reuse.

Which is best for a desk?

The MIDORI MD Desk Calendar 2027, if you want to write on it: it folds completely flat, per MIDORI. It comes as Monthly, Monthly Twin (two months side by side) and Weekly, from ¥880 (about US$5.60) in Japan.

If plans change daily, Hobonichi’s With Pocket whiteboard calendar stands 172 × 177 mm and wipes clean, though its 24 × 20 mm day squares hold only a word or two.

Which is best for a wall?

Rifle Paper Co.’s wall calendar for looks, Hobonichi’s Full whiteboard for a shared family schedule. Hobonichi says its whiteboard calendar has been LOFT’s best-selling calendar in Japan for 21 years, but it prints Japanese holidays, so US users add their own.

The Rifle Paper Co. Appointment Calendar sits between them: illustrated, but with more room to write each month.

What about Moleskine, Leuchtturm1917 and DELFONICS?

We didn’t find a 2027 wall or desk calendar from Moleskine or Leuchtturm1917 in the US; their 2027 lines are planners. See our best planners for 2027 for those. DELFONICS calendars weren’t easy to find at US retailers when we checked, so they didn’t make this list.

Where are these calendars made?

Both Rifle Paper Co. calendars are made in the USA and the MD Desk Calendar in Japan, per their makers; Hobonichi doesn’t state an origin for its whiteboard calendar. Rifle Paper Co. marks its 2027 calendars Final Sale on its own store, so choose the design carefully.
