Help us support CALM and buy one of our Lockdown calendars today! (See price list below)


As soon as you seem to have settled into the way events are unfolding around the world, 2020 comes around and smacks you right in the face with something even bigger and badder. Fear, anxiety and pain loom in every corner of the world, morphing into this massive, collective disappointment and grief. There are few sources of positivity in this time where everybody is grieving, making it absolutely vital for us to support the people around us whose life you can touch with positivity in one way or another. 

So what did you do with your Lockdown? 


We decided that 2020 had reached peak sadness right around the first lockdown starting in March, and decided to do something in the name of promoting awareness for mental health, in the form of a swimsuit calendar. Okay, maybe it’s not quite a swimsuit calendar, but it shows a whole lot of skin and is filled with weird and wonderful facial expressions you didn't know you wanted to see. 


Have you ever wanted to see two men in a pair of boxers fiercely voguing through the net of a tennis racket? Now is your chance. 


Have you ever wondered if two men of average everything would consider spending 8-9 hours in their boxers, trying on most of their flatmate’s wardrobe while posing for pictures? 


All of this and more, we sought to answer with the creation of our Lockdown Calendar, which we are finally releasing to the public as of today, the 11th of November 2020. 


We are producing this calendar in order to donate all proceeds to CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), and have received authorisation to sell our calendar with their logo as a token of cooperation. CALM is a movement that promotes awareness and services for suicide prevention, and provides support for anyone bereaved by suicide. Their focus is primarily on males, seeing as approximately 75% of all suicides in the UK are male, and males face greater stigma when seeking help is concerned. This agenda is especially relevant in 2020, with CALM having reported a record rise in demand for help since lockdown started. To find out more about CALM, please visit: thecalmzone 


We are selling our calendars for £10.00 with a £2.50 postage fee, and donating everything except the production cost of calendars directly to CALM. The actual amount donated to CALM will therefore vary depending on interest, so the more calendars we produce, the cheaper the production cost, and the more is donated to CALM. It is therefore up to you to help us and CALM make a difference! You can also donate without buying a calendar! :)

We have our calendars ready to be shipped and since it's the new year we've slashed all our prices by 50%!! YES THAT'S RIGHT!

If you donate £6.50 we will ship you 1 x Lockdown Calendar within the EU. For international orders, please add an additional shipping cost.

If you donate £12.50 we will ship you 2 x Lockdown Calendars within the EU.  For international orders, please add an additional shipping cost.

If you have any queries regarding donations, please do not hesitate to contact us! 

Please note, after donating the relevant amount, we will send you an order form to the email you donated with! :)

This calendar features a unique theme for every month, and is a boatload of fun for anyone lucky enough to catch a glimpse. Just to wet everyone’s beaks, we have included some pictures that did not make the final product, but do keep in mind, they are not even close to the wild shenanigans you’ll get in the real deal. 


Is Marc a good replacement for a Christmas Tree? 

Who wore it better, Owen or Marilyn Monroe?

We hope you can lend us a helping hand in support of CALM, and that our calendar can be a light-hearted attempt to bring about positivity and confidence in free expression, mental health and individuality. Thank you for your support!

Also, how did we come up with this idea? Have a look...
