Photo magnets for birthdays

The trouble with birthday presents for people you know well: they already have everything. What they don't have is your photos together, in a place they walk past every day.

Ideas for birthdays

Nine pictures, nine shared moments

Not a chronological retrospective – nine situations you both still think about. The blurry photo from the night the car broke down absolutely belongs in there; image quality comes second here, recognition comes first. A set of 9 costs €27.

The milestone birthday

One magnet per decade for a fiftieth, or one for every guest with the birthday girl or boy on it. From 20 pieces we work out a tiered price – for the table, as a favour, or both. Tell us roughly how many and a quote comes back.

The present from the children

Children often pick photos better than adults do: unguarded and with no regard for double chins. Let them go through the gallery and point at nine pictures, and we'll do the rest. On a smaller budget a set of 3 does the job too.

Late is still fine

If the photos are ready, ordering takes five minutes. We ship within 24 hours and delivery takes 2–4 working days – so remembering at the start of the week still gets you there by the weekend.

Good to know

• 5 × 5 cm, strong hold, glossy surface with a wipeable protective film
• Phone photos are fine – at least 500 × 500 pixels, subject roughly centred
• Sets of 3, 6 or 9 magnets – every picture chosen individually
• Ready to ship in 24 hours, 2–4 working days delivery
• Your photos are deleted once the order has shipped
