Photo magnets as a Christmas gift for grandparents: a few things worth knowing
If you're stuck on what to get the grandparents this year, photo magnets are worth a look. They're small, they're personal, and unlike a framed photo that ends up on a shelf, they go on the fridge where everyone sees them every day.
A few things make a big difference in how they turn out. Close-up photos work best, because faces in a big group shot end up tiny on a two or three inch magnet. It also helps a lot to add names or dates under the pictures. One magnet for each grandkid with their name underneath is a really sweet set, and it saves grandma from guessing which cousin is which.
Quality matters too. The pressed kind, where the photo wraps over a rigid shell, holds up much better than the thin paper ones that start curling at the corners after a few months. And look for a site that shows you the whole set before you pay, so nobody's head gets cropped off.
freshmagnets.com does all of that. You upload your photos, add a name or date under each one and see the finished set before ordering. If it's for Christmas, orders need to be in by December 8.
