Access Self Storage said: "Basingstoke has been chosen to feature as Mrs February in possibly the ‘Most Boring Calendar Ever’ for 2026, with every penny raised from sales of the calendars going directly to Cancer Research UK.
"The team at Access Self Storage Basingstoke shot the photo with a themed nod to its calendar month, beating out competition from other stores to make it into the final version of the first ever Themed Storage Unit Calendar."
They add: "Access Self Storage brings a dose of humour and heart to the new year with its unconventional and amusing masterpiece, its updated calendar for 2026 – The ‘Themed’ Storage Unit Calendar.
"Dubbed ‘possibly the most boring calendar ever’, this quirky collection transforms the everyday world of self-storage into a curated monthly celebration of charm, creativity and character.
"Each month offers a different scene from across the UK, proving that even a storage unit can tell a story."
The calendars are on sale in Access Self Storage stores now.
The idea behind choosing subjects for the calendar was that each one "tells its own story," from colourful doors and seasonal themes to pop culture nods and festive tributes.
The units were all pictured by Access Self Storage team.
A spokesperson said: "The calendar, available for just £5, has been created with charity in mind for Christmas, 100% of proceeds will be donated to CRUK, making it a quirky and affordable gift that supports a meaningful cause.
