This is a crafty gift idea, posted by request.
I recently made a set of magnets for everyone in my Mom’s Group. I presented them in a stack with a little ribbon around them. I chose to do 1.5 inch squares, but you can do whatever floats your boat.
All you have to do is print your favorite image onto magnet paper. Yep, that’s my secret. You can buy a pack of 8.5″x11″ paper that is already a magnet. Print a sheet’s worth of your images and then cut them out.
Obviously, for your parents, your baby would be the preferred theme. But assuming you know people with other interests beside your child, this is a clever gift for anyone. Some ideas: you could grab images from Amazon and create a display of kitchen appliances for a cook; surf the web for punk band logos for the nostalgic college roommate; or create your own magnetic poetry with just a Word document.
Here’s a snapshot of my fridge with three of Julian’s little buddies holding up some very important phone numbers.

Love it. Can’t wait to do it.
This is a great idea! do you know how many sheets come in a box?
If you can’t find magnet paper this works…Save all those magnets we get from businesses like pizza restraunts banks, you know the calendar and advertising magnets. I printed pictures on paper and used a glue gun to glue them on one of these magnets then I cut around the picture. Iput them on the refrigerator and show my 10 month daughter pictures of the family and point at each one saying the name of the family member. She loves it and has learned who each person is even if she doesn’t see them every day.
