The Hobonichi Whiteboard Calendar has been a hit since it debuted in 2006. The whiteboard material provides plenty of space to write in or erase entries as many times as you want. Having an erasable calendar makes it comfortable to jot down plans, even if only tentative, knowing you can easily edit it later if anything changes. It’s also great for including notes and leaving messages for the family. The handy whiteboard marker includes an eraser on its cap for easy use.
Digital calendars on your smartphone and computer are convenient of course, but have the pitfall of being out of sight, out of mind. Having a physical calendar hanging up in your line of sight makes it easier to remember to review your plans each day. It comes in two sizes: Full Size and Desktop Size.
The large Full Size wall calendar has a sleek design that will blend nicely with your interior decor.
The Desktop Size is a calendar that sits atop your desk. The double-sided pages are made with whiteboard paper, with one side a calendar in which you can enjoy images from the game, the opposite side a white calendar with plenty of room to write. In other words, you get one calendar with two designs.
The 2026 designs, in both sizes, are based on the official clay figures from MOTHER2 (EarthBound in North America). These clay figures were created using clay and wire to bring the game’s pixel-art characters into three-dimensional form. They appeared in the game’s instruction manual and strategy guides, and remain in the memories of many fans as symbols of the world of MOTHER2. Spend a fun-filled year together with the lively main character and the rest of the cast.
