(PRWEB) December 10, 2004

The year 2005 is just a few short weeks away and everyone is scrambling to buy calendars to be ready for the new year. It’s not just people buying them for themselves, either. More than ever before, people are flocking to the web to order calendars and many of them are picking up bundles of calendars to give as Christmas gifts.

Traditional retailers like Wal-Mart and calendar boutiques such as Calendar Club in malls still capture a large share of the calendar market. However, specialty websites have sprung up to meet the demand of online shoppers looking for calendars. One of these sites that has appeared this year is Buy2005Calendars.com, a searchable calendar directory with links to several sites selling calendars online. Buy2005Calendars.com was developed by a Utah marketing firm, WebTargeted, for the specific purpose of helping calendar searchers find what they’re looking for during the holiday season.

“The number of online searches for calendars is huge this time of year,” says Dave Bascom, president of WebTargeted, “Calendars are easy to buy online and they make great gifts because they’re nice to look at and they last all year. Best of all, at under $15 apiece, they give a nice bang for the buck as quality gifts. They’re inexpensive, yet because they usually feature a specific theme, they give a personalized feel to the receiver of the gift.”

People enjoy giving calendars as gifts because there is a perfect calendar for just about everyone. Buy2005Calendars.com lists over 4000 different calendars featuring everything from celebrities to pets. Desk and wall calendars are available for nearly every breed of dog, popular movie and music star and just about every other hobby or interest imaginable.

Calendars are designed to help people keep organized, but even the people who don’t plan on keeping track of anything that’s going on can enjoy the pictures on a beautiful wall calendar. Calendars are often kept as keepsakes to remember the year’s events, so the gift of a calendar is often kept well beyond the 365 days it was intended for.

Besides being useful to the receiver of the gift, calendars have become collectors’ items over time. Certain old calendars are sought after by collectors and become quite valuable. Because they often feature pop culture icons, these calendars can gain value over time, so you never know what your $13 investment will turn into several years down the road.

Popular calendars for 2005 include “Nuns Having Fun”, “Mom’s Plan It”, “365 Tiny Paper Airplanes”, “Boston Red Sox”, “Shania Twain” and “Clay Aiken”.
