Fridge magnets

My daughter bought a stainless steel board and put it on the wall and then stick all the beautiful (& even the tacky) ones on the board!
Everyone will love it

I'm another who loves our fridge magnets - I love the reminder of all the places we've visited and brought them back as souvenirs.

I have about 300 magnets covering fridge/freezer, frame of cooker and magnetic boards. Thank you Parsley3 for mentioning magnetic paint. I hadn’t heard of that and I shall try that as I am really out of space. I do love my magnets, collected over some thirty years from all parts of the world. Some have really sentimental value such as the Australian ones collected on visits to my, now deceased, brother.

I used to make fridge magnets. Selling them at a now defunct Sunday market held at Blackbush, as well as other venues. One of my best sellers was a plain little square, with “Boring Women have tidy Kitchens “ engraved on it. An idea I pinched from a tile maker who designed tiles for designer kitchens.

Paint a board with magnetic paint and put it up somewhere with your fridge magnet collection.

I’ve only got one, it came from a teenage magazine of my daughters about 20 years ago, and it’s David Beckham’s head with some separate speech bubbles you can write on. It’s on the boiler in the utility room and has seen plenty of cryptic messages in its time.

Mallin, I have one of those magnets.

You can buy magnetic boards and put them all on there, then you can take the board out or away whenever you need to.

That's a good idea to use magnetic paint for fridge magnets

Love fridge magnets …stick allsorts under them …photos ….sppointments….messages….

I love my fridge magnets.

Ditto. My son lives in Japan, and when we visited in 2001 his brother was after one to bring home - as Japanese is not an easy language he asked his brother (who is fluent) what the Japanese for Fridge magnet was - It’s Fridge Magneto !!

We have loads of colourful fish magnets, acquired by dh when he was based in Indonesia for a while.
Older Gdcs used to love rearranging them, and the youngest (4) still does.

Of the others, this is my favourite, though!

I don't really have anywhere to put magnets as my appliances are integrated, but the outside of my metal rubbish bin would work.

Fridge magnets and souvenir T shirts are my holiday memories. My favourite magnet is " Grandchildren spoiled while you wait." although it is now GGC

Thanks for all the ideas. I’ve never heard of magnetic paint, but I do have a wall that I could arrange them on. If we painted it has just suggested that he makes a recessed frame with a glass front-abut like the mini room settings I have.

I have a plain white metal board on a kitchen wall for all my memory magnets. Also use it for my magnetic backed shopping pad, box for holding pens and pencils.

A metal cookie sheet that can hold the magnets, be tucked away in a closet and brought out when the kids come over. Can be carried from room to room for play.

Use another cookie baking sheet for them to have a clean canvas to start creating pictures, separate into groups, design motifs, etc.

I hate the things, (duck) my family know not to buy them. I am not a minimalist, but can’t stand the clutter on my white wares. I know where I have been and can look at the photos as a reminder.

Buy a magnetic board which GC can use when they come and see you? They can stay on there and the board can be kept in a safe place until the next visit? X

had an old table top 4x3
babies love to play

Just had a new fridge freezer delivered and I realise that my magnets have to go back. I hadn’t realised just how many I had until I took them off. Took me much longer than I thought. Places we have been, art gallery magnets, lovely quotes etc etc

I love them, not many, but a daily reminder of all the lovely places and people I've met throughout the years.

I used to have Shakespearian insult fridge magnets.

They were fun, but a pain to take off or clean round, so I decluttered them into the bin

Hmmm. Spelling looks wrong but I no longer know what's right or wrong, spelling wise
