Black Friday through Cyber Monday SALE at Head in the Clouds Amherst


Sure, the weather is lovely for shopping, but we have an even better idea. First, order your Head in the Clouds Amherst Wall Calendar online HERE, ditch the box stores, and instead take to the Robert Frost Trail for a serene/invigorating weekend. And to give you just a little taste of "Black Friday," we are discounting online orders now through Cyber Monday by 20%, to $11.20 per calendar. We've only got about 40 calendars left in stock, so don't delay!

I'm headed off to Puffer's right now - where will you be spending your day?

If you are looking for a unique Amherst gift that will keep giving all year round, look no further than our new Head in the Clouds Amherst 2016 Wall Calendar. This year's calendar features beautiful, seasonal nature photos taken in Amherst by twelve different photographers, both professional and amateur (scroll down this page for the names of our photographers). Each photo includes location captions, and the daily entries highlight over 50 major weather events that occurred in Amherst and New England between 1660 and 2015. Printed on high quality, glossy paper, this one-of-a-kind calendar also notes holidays, as well as astronomical events visible from Amherst with the naked eye - full moon, new moon, meteor showers, and more. 

This is that perfect gift for Amherst residents and tourists, expatriates, college students here or away, writers and poets, and nature lovers. This calendar will have them (and you) falling in love with Amherst month after month. Full size when open is 17" high and 11" wide. 

Price is $14.00 per calendar purchased through this website (slightly higher at local stores).

You can also purchase our calendar at Atkins FarmsAmherst Books or Hastings, but call before you go over just to make sure they have calendars in stock (it's not unusual for the stores to run by mid-December). Amherst Books is located at the center of downtown Amherst at 8 Main Street. Hastings is also downtown, at 45 South Pleasant Street on the Common. Atkins Farms now has two stores, the flagship store near Hampshire College, at 1150 West St., and Atkins North at 113 Cowls Road in North Amherst.
