Breathing new life into the commonplace; Then, loving oneself and loving the Earth.

What problems do we want to solve and improve?

We aim to address the issue of traditional yearly and monthly calendars becoming obsolete.

Don’t want to repeat filling numbers on blank grids.

To break the routine with innovation and embrace the Earth with love.

Calendars and whiteboards are common items, yet outdated calendars end up discarded, and traditional whiteboards, although reusable, remain unchanged for decades. Whether it’s wasting by discarding or spending unnecessary time on repetitive tasks, it’s a form of waste—both tangible and intangible.

Learning from practice is better than just theory.‘ If our design can reduce resource consumption and waste production, while providing convenience and enhancing people’s quality of life, why not do it?

A completely new and viable concept for a calendar.

Principle of Multi-Month Interconnected Cycle.

Our innovative calendar-whiteboard hybrid! A year-round, reusable calendar that doubles as a whiteboard:

  • No paper, no electricity, sustainable usage
  • Plan your year at a glance, no expiration worries
  • Combines calendar functionality with reusability

  • Simple 3-step process for yearly adjustments
  • Highly practical, visible even from 5 meters away
  • Use it as a whiteboard, jot down notes anytime
  • Great quality, doubles as home decor
  • A fresh design, a touch of personal style

After redefining the conventional calendar, Smilingoods design team presents another daring innovation. Join us and embrace the change!

Breaking the boundaries of traditional yearly calendars, our O’day Perpetual Wall Calendar is a leap forward. Seamlessly switch through multiple months, offering a year-round, reusable view, while serving as a practical whiteboard for your notes and ideas. Experience a new era in perpetual wall calendars with O’day!

The main features include:

Exclusive Award-Winning Patented Reading Technology for Perpetual Calendars

If you like our first-generation O’day perpetual desk calendar, you can select it as an add-on in the sponsorship options.

Stylish and Practical in Size and Appearance

To blend both as a decorative piece, we’ve compacted the 12 months of four seasons into a 60x60cm square layout, maintaining legible 8mm-sized dates visible from a standard 5-meter distance.

At a distance of 5 meters using the Landolt C Visual Acuity Chart, individuals with normal vision (1.0) can discern the orientation of the C-shaped notch at a font height of 7.27mm. With an 8mm font height, the calendar dates remain clearly visible within a 5-meter range for the average person with normal vision.

Simple three-step process, year-round renewal. From now on, your calendar can also be perpetual.

An equivalent note-taking space to the calendar area.

In response to the relative structure movement needs, the calendar itself will naturally provide space for 6/13 (calendar itself occupies 7/13), as an essential space. The acrylic panel is compatible with common water-based markers for writing, and regular whiteboard markers can also be used, although the clarity may be slightly compromised.

Easy to Write and Erase

A Glass-like Whiteboard Surface for Easy Writing and Erasing. Paired with our Special Fine-tip Colored Pens, Every Month’s Plans Are Vibrant!

You can easily purchase these dry-erase markers on our website.

Of course, we also have 12-color 1mm fine-tip dry-erase markers available for purchase.

Complimentary wall mounting accessory kit included

Color Pen Wall Sticker Accessory Pack:
Stainless steel (406 material) magnetic plate x 1, several small plastic magnets; when using, attach the magnetic stainless steel plate to the side of the calendar, and attach the adhesive plastic magnets to the cap of the dry chalk, achieving the effect of adhering to the stainless steel plate. However, the magnetic force of the plastic magnets is not strong. When necessary, two plastic magnets can be horizontally attached to the lower edge of the magnetic stainless steel plate to achieve the purpose of preventing the dry chalk from slipping.

The plastic magnets have weaker magnetic properties, and if the results are less than ideal, you can also use the included pen holder (with eraser).

Customize the Look to Suit Your Needs with Fine Detail Variations

Would you like the week to start on Sunday or Monday?

Placement and Installation Methods

  1. Easy Mounting with Non-Slip Pads Included: Just Lean Against the Wall.
    The simplest way, if you have enough desktop space.
  1. Secure Mounting with Drill Holes for a Sturdy Display.
    The most secure way, so you only need two hooks.
  1. Utilize Our Provided Set of 4 Damage-Free Hooks
    A fairly suitable hanging method, but please pay special attention to whether the wall surface is smooth, hard, non-porous, and won’t cause paint to peel off.

How We Brought This Innovative Calendar Concept to Life

18 Months of Continuous Improvement and Design Commitment

From the initial design concept to multiple iterations, we aimed not only to achieve a multi-month interactive perpetual calendar structure but also to consider user habits, ease of use, versatile application, and aesthetic proportions in placement. After careful considerations, we successfully introduced this novel concept of a perpetual wall calendar to everyone.

Suitable for Small-Batch, Diverse Manufacturing and Individual Output Production

We carefully considered factors such as cost, quality, diversity in details, future extended applications, and production feasibility. Hence, we opted for individual laser cutting and UV direct printing in production. While this approach may not offer the same production efficiency as mass production, considering the market acceptance of a novel concept product, the strategy of small-batch, diverse production is currently the most suitable approach.

Crafted with Careful Assembly and Woodworking Techniques

We’ve also incorporated traditional woodworking craftsmanship and individual assembly methods to ensure the final product’s quality.
