Photo magnets for moving house

Moving house is the opposite of remembering: everything gets packed, sorted, thrown out. And then there is a fridge in the new flat with nothing on it.

Ideas around moving house

The first magnet on the new door

Before the boxes are unpacked, something is already on the kitchen door – the picture from the last flat, the day you got the keys, the friends who carried. A single magnet costs €3, and it is the first thing in the new place that isn't practical but personal.

The old home, before it is empty

Hardly anyone photographs the flat they have lived in for ten years – you know it, after all. Take the pictures anyway, ideally with the furniture still in: the kitchen, the balcony, the corner where the Christmas tree stood. Nine of them as a set tell the old home better than any viewing, and each magnet costs €3 in a set.

For children moving too

Children lose more than a room when you move: the nursery, the kids next door, the walk to school. A few magnets with the old friends on the new fridge don't undo the change, but they make it visible – and the child gets to choose which pictures they are.

A farewell gift for neighbours and colleagues

People who move usually hand out cake. A magnet with a photo the recipients are in themselves lasts longer. For a department or a whole stairwell we work out a tiered price from 20 pieces.
