Curate Your Story: A Heartfelt Guide to Creating Custom iMagnets

A curated magnet set lets you tell the full story – the laughter, the tiny details, and all the in-between moments that make life so special.  Whether you’re creating a set for yourself, a friend, or a heartfelt gift, custom photo iMagnets are the perfect way to keep those memories close (and proudly on display).

Here’s some tips on how to put together a custom iMagnet set that feels personal, modern and completely you!

1.  Choose a Story to Tell
Every great iMagnet collection starts with a story – and yours should too!  Instead of choosing random photos, think about what chapter of your life (or someone else's) you want to transform into iMagnets.  Here’s a few ideas to spark inspiration

• Life’s Moments:  Celebrate everything from engagements and weddings to new homes, new babies and formals
• Little Moments, Big Memories:  The everyday joys like morning coffee outings, favourite corners of your home, those unfiltered weekend adventures and silly selfies.
• Family Highlights:  Holiday snaps, first days of school, birthdays and cozy nights in
• Furry Friends:  A collection that captures your pet's personality (and their adorable chaos)
• Legacy of Love:  Create a heartfelt set in memory of someone special - a beautiful way to keep their story and spirt close, every single day.

Giving your set a theme, creates a natural flow and helps your photos tell a cohesive story.

2.  Mix it Up (But Keep it Cohesive)
A beautiful magnet collection feels balanced – not too repetitive, not too busy.  Play with variety by including:

• A mix of close-ups and wide shots to add depth
• Both candid laughs and posed moments for personality (even the silly outtakes)!
• Use a similar edit or colour tone to tie everything together

Hot tip:  If your photos are all different styles, group them by vibe – for example, all your travel shots in one set, and your warm, homely family pics in another.

3.  Don’t Forget the Little Details
Not every iMagnet needs to be a portrait!  Some of the most meaningful photos are the quiet, overlooked details that tell the bigger story.

Think:

• The view from your favourite holiday spot
• The cake from your child’s first birthday
• The messy kitchen from your family baking day
• The bouquet you caught at your best friend’s wedding

These small glimpses make your set feel layered and nostalgic – like a mini time capsule

4.  Gift with Heart
Curated iMagnet sets make seriously thoughtful gifts.  And, we might be biased…. But who doesn’t love unwrapping a fridge full of memories?

Here are a few ideas on your next thoughtful gesture:

• For Grandparents:  Grandkids, family milestones and those giggly moments they love
• For Friends:  Travel selfies, inside jokes or that one photo that sums you both up perfectly
• For Partners:  A 'year of us' set - from fancy date nights to matching pyjamas on the couch
• For Teachers:  Thank you drawings, positive affirmations/quotes or a student's handwritten note of appreciation
• For the Undecided:  Not sure which photos to choose for a loved one?  A digital eGift card is the perfect way to let them curate their own collection of memories.

Trust us – you’ll have them smiling every time they open the fridge door.

5.  Build a Collection Over Time
The beauty of our iMagnets is that your collection can keep growing!  Start with one theme and add to it as life unfolds.

• Baby’s First Year to Toddler Adventures
• Travel 2025 to New Destinations 2026
• Honeymoon Memories to Anniversaries Through the Years
• Family Christmas 2025 to Annual Holiday Traditions

Before you know it, your fridge becomes a story wall of moments that matter most that are full of love, laughter and daily reminders of everything in between.

6.  Show Them Off (and Swap Them Around!)
Once your iMagnets arrive (yay!), have fun displaying them.

Try arranging them:

• In order, to tell a story or journey
• In clusters – family, travel, pets, milestones
• Or scatter them for a playful, spontaneous look

And here’s where things get even better – you’re not limited to the fridge!  With our 3D printed frames, you can swap out and display your iMagnets anywhere – on desks, shelves, bedside tables or even hang them on your walls.  These instant conversation starters are lightweight, easily interchangeable (with their pushback design) whenever you feel like a refresh, and they make the perfect gift for literally anyone!

Your memories deserve to be seen everywhere, not just in the kitchen!

A Little Reminder
Curating your magnet set isn’t just about picking pretty photos – it’s about celebrating the moments that matter most to you!  From the big milestones to the tiny, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details.  Your iMagnets become little daily reminders of love, laughter and everything in between.

So go on – turn your camera roll into something tangible, meaningful and ready to make you smile every single day.  Let’s make your memories stick in the most beautiful way possible.

With love + iMagnets
