Christmas Photo Magnet Ideas Your Family Will Keep
The holidays are made of small traditions, and photo magnets slot right into them. They are easy to make, easy to mail, and unlike a paper card, they stick around long after the tree comes down. Here are our favorite ways to use them through the Christmas season.
1. The photo card that becomes a keepsake
Send your family Christmas photo as a magnet instead of, or alongside, a paper card. It goes straight onto the fridge and stays there into spring, a warm little reminder of your family every time someone reaches for the eggnog. Add your names and the year so it doubles as a dated keepsake.
2. Stocking stuffers
A magnet is the right size and the right price for a stocking. Make one for each family member with a photo of them from the past year, or surprise the grandparents with a set of all the grandkids. Small gift, big smile.
3. An annual tradition
Make one magnet every Christmas with that year's family photo. Line them up on the fridge and you build a little timeline of growing kids, new pets, and changing haircuts. It is the kind of tradition that costs very little and means a lot a decade later.
4. Party favors and place settings
Hosting Christmas dinner? Set a photo magnet at each place as a favor, or use them as fun, reusable place cards with a photo and a name. Guests take them home and remember the night.
5. Gift toppers
Skip the disposable bow. Pop a photo magnet on top of a wrapped gift as a topper that becomes part of the present. It works beautifully on gifts for grandparents and faraway family.
Which photos work best
Bright, well lit photos press the best, and the holidays give you plenty: matching pajamas, the tree, the snow, the happy chaos of opening presents. For a deeper look, see our guide to the best photos for fridge magnets. A square custom magnet suits a close up, while the taller fridge size flatters a standing family photo.
Order in time for Christmas
We press every order in the USA and ship within one to two business days, but December is our busiest stretch. To be safe for Christmas, order by December 8, and give yourself an extra week if you are mailing magnets as cards. Sending to a long list? Our bulk photo magnets bring the price per piece down as the set grows.
