Buying a flag each time a holiday comes round means a trip and a wait every few weeks. This set covers the year in one box: the four seasons, Valentines Day, St Patricks Day, Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas. All twelve are 12 by 18 inches, so one stand by the path handles the whole rotation.
Each flag takes the same standard 12 by 18 inch holder, which means the hardware stays in the ground and only the panel changes. Swapping takes less time than finding the box it came in. Households that like a marked front yard end up changing it ten or twelve times a year, and neighbors notice the switch within a day or two.
A flag that lives outdoors from February to December faces more sun than rain. The spun polyester is UV resistant, so the greens of a spring design and the reds of a Christmas one do not wash out to pastel after a few weeks on display. Reinforced stitching runs around the edges, which is where wind starts fraying a panel first.
Holidays do not fill the calendar evenly, and there are long gaps in January, in late summer and after Thanksgiving. The four plain season designs cover those weeks, with flowers and landscapes rather than a date. That is why the set works better than a holiday only pack, where the stand sits empty for a month at a time.
Twelve flags in one box give a giver something to hand over that lasts past the week it arrives. Gardeners, people who have just moved into a house with a front bed and relatives who decorate for everything all get use out of it. The small size also suits a balcony rail or a planter where a full size banner would overhang the edge.
Two 54 by 108 inch covers printed like a field, yard numbers and all, for the snack table on the Sunday the big game is on.
Eight white covers scattered with gold dots, each 54 by 108 inches, for a first communion lunch or a reception with tables to spare.
