I know, this is a pretty silly thing. But I didn’t get a Calendar between Nov / Dec this year with my SmartPaks. Is anyone else missing this annual free gift from SmartPak? It’s a small thing, but I was looking forward to the new calendar.
I can always send them an email and ask, but I wondered if it was just me first, or if they were no longer sending out calendars, starting this year.
I already asked this question of them. No calendars this year!!!
I have always used that calendar in my barn to keep track of stuff.
Edit to add - My vet has historically given calendars too and this year no calendar there either.
That’s too bad. Thanks for replying. It was one of the reasons I made sure that I didn’t delay my Smartpak shipments the last 3 months of the year. I guess next year I won’t worry about it!
Still, I will miss the calendar and have to buy one elsewhere.
Maybe if they see how much we miss it they will go back to having it next year.
At least we can hope for such a thing!
AWWW, now I am sad! I liked my Smartpak calendar… 
Spalding fly predators also discontinued their calendar.
Our local bank used to give away little calendars with a bit of sticky that everyone kept in their pickup dashboards.
They too are not offering those any more.
With IPhones I guess we don’t need handy calendars, or watches/clocks any more?
Well, watches as a symbol, maybe.
Seems that everyone is trying to cut expenses.
Me too… sigh.
I told them I was sad when they told me they were not sending out calendars anymore.
It’s weird some years. I didn’t get a calendar for 2018 but I got one for 2019.
Well dang!! I always hang their calendar in the feed room too. I use it to keep track of all things horse, and right now with sickies and having to take temps every day am/pm it’s quite handy to have that right in front of my face.
Well, they used to have horse folks as employees, and some of those horse folks used to keep an eye on things like horse forums. Maybe they still do. Maybe they’ll get wind and find that people really used and looked forward to the calendars every year.
And about watches: I wear a watch. I use my watch. Who wants to dig a phone out of their pocket to check the time??? I also still have a clock radio - because who wants their phone bleating at them all night with email notifications or whatever? I guess I’m a Luddite. 
Me, too. I joke that sooner or later, some young person is going to point at my watch and ask, “What’s that?”
I’m also a bit of a Luddite. I keep a paper calendar on the wall in my office and I use it. The only reason I started also using my Outlook calendar was that I got a new boss who made it very clear that he expected me to keep my online calendar up to date and accurate so he could schedule calls and meetings without having to send out emails or do a Doodle poll to see when people were available.
I am disappointed that smartpack did not let us know about this. I have been waiting for my Dec. Order, as I use the calandar every year for tracking appointments etc. Glad I saw this thread so I could order one on Amazon.
