We all have hundreds — sometimes thousands — of photos sitting on our phones that we love but rarely look at.
A family holiday, your children's latest milestone, a favourite photo of the dog, or a special moment with someone you love can easily get lost amongst everything else in your camera roll.
One of our favourite ways to bring those memories into everyday life is to turn them into personalised photo fridge magnets.
1. Choose a photo you love
Start by choosing a photo that brings back a special memory.
Some ideas include:
-
Family photos
-
Children's milestones
-
Holiday memories
-
Photos with grandparents
-
Wedding or engagement photos
-
Favourite photos of your pets
-
Special celebrations
-
Photos of loved ones
You don't need a professional photograph. A clear photo taken on your phone can make a wonderful photo magnet.
2. Think about how the photo will look as a magnet
Before choosing your photo, have a look at the composition.
Photos where the main person, pet or subject is clearly visible usually work particularly well. If the subject is very close to the edge of the photograph, there may be less flexibility when the image is cropped to suit the magnet.
If you're choosing several photos, you could create a collection of different memories rather than using several similar photos.
3. Choose how many photo magnets you'd like
Creating a set can be a lovely way to tell a little story.
For example, you might choose:
A family set
One photo of each family member.
A holiday set
Your favourite moments from a recent trip.
A growing-up set
A selection of your child's favourite milestones.
A pet set
Different expressions and favourite moments with your four-legged family member.
4. Turn your photos into personalised magnets
Once you've chosen your photos, you can upload them when placing your order.
At Lil Memories Co, we turn your favourite photographs into custom photo magnets designed to bring those memories into your everyday space.
Our personalised photo magnets are made in Victoria, Australia, and make meaningful keepsakes for your own home or thoughtful gifts for family and friends.
5. Display your memories somewhere you'll see them
That's the part we love most.
Your photos don't have to stay hidden away in your phone.
Put your magnets on the fridge, a magnetic whiteboard or another suitable magnetic surface where you can see them every day.
Over time, you can add new magnets as your family grows, you travel to new places or you create new memories.
