Do you have magnets on your fridge? I like to, I have magnets from holidays I have been to and I also have photo magnets of some baby pictures from the family - they are quite cool. Some people keep drawings that their kids have done on the fridge using a magnet. Do you have any magnets on your fridge?

Yes, I have magnets on my refrigerator. I have some from Branson, Missouri, some that others have given me, and one that a friend from Sydney, Australia sent to me years ago. I also have things on my refrigerator that my grand children made. AND I also have a dog that my daughter made when she was in school. It meant enough for me to put on there then and I've never taken it off! AND she has a 20 year old! I also have 2 small magnets that my daughter gave me with the picture of her first 2 children when they were little. Wish I had one of my other 4 grandchildren.

It is a card about 4 x 6 inches with a dog's face. It has long fur. It is really nice. I guess, when I put it there, I never thought about it staying so long. But I just don't have the heart to remove it.

When my boys were growing up my fridge was full of their artwork! I've saved them, of course. Now that I live alone I only have 3 magnets on my fridge, all from places I need like the veterinarian, the pet poison control line and one other.

I just went in and looked. It's a magnet that has all the numbers of the sheriff and police and stuff like that--an "emergency" magnet!

Lol, thanks for the information on the current magnets, although I must say I am quite curious about what the 'one other' magnet is all about??

Magnets are great. There are all kinds with different fun shapes. Children love them. Cheers!!

I agree. When I was a kid, my mum used to keep letters of the alphabet on the fridge. It was fun as we could write out little words every now and again which would give us a giggle

Yeah I guess they do slow down the process of wiping clean the fridge doors. When I was younger we had tons of magnets on our fridge, but they all came off when we bought a new fridge. With the new fridge though the number of magnets does seem to be getting larger by the month!

I have some magnets on my fridge, not a lot. Some are special ones my daughter made me and some are just there to hold notes etc.

Hi there lilcee, that's nice. I think many parents do keep little things that their kids have made for them on the fridge. I think it's a sweet thing to do

I love magnets they are so cute,we buy one from nearly every place we visit,it is a cheap souvenier,We love our magnets we revisit places in out minds when we look at them and all the funny happy things that happened that visit. We have such a laugh when we remember happy times.The kitchen used to be covered in my sons drawing when he was little and all the things he made at pre school on every surface of the living room ,little pasta snakes ,models ect he is grown now and all the stuff is upstairs in the loft but I will never ever part with them.

I know exactly what you mean. My favourite ones are the picture magnets too. I always have a smile on my face each time I reach for the fridge door to grab a glass of orange juice!

Boy do I have magnets on my fridge!!! You can hardly see the fridge because its covered with different things. When the kids were little they loved playing the the magnetic alphabet letters, the grandchildren love playing with anything that sticks to the fridge. I have magnets from different places, cities, companies not to mention the magnetic pot holders & paper holders. I'm sorry but I just love them!

Wow, well it sounds like your fridge is pretty much invisible underneath all of the magnets! I know what you mean though, you can stick so many great things onto the door of a fridge!
