Frames, Magnets & Plaques
Style Overview
It's the little things... like a photo held to the fridge by one bright magnet! Our cute picture frames and magnets turn blank walls and busy desks into spots that make you smile, with playful color, sweet artwork and sayings that read like a pep talk from your best friend. Tiny block keepsakes perch on a windowsill, while plaques bring a bigger pop to any wall. Stick a few on a mini fridge with our colorful dorm room decor and a plain room suddenly feels like yours.
Where to Stick, Hang & Prop
What we love about this collection is how many places it works. Magnets belong anywhere metal lives: the kitchen fridge, a locker, a filing cabinet at the office or the mini fridge in a dorm. Tiny keepsakes are made for the in-between spots, like a windowsill, a bookshelf, a bedside table or the ledge above your desk. Plaques and frames earn wall space, and they play beautifully with the rest of a gallery arrangement.
A few of our favorite placements:
- Kitchen: a magnet on the fridge where the whole family sees it every morning, right next to the Thanksgiving grocery list.
- Workspace: a keepsake by your monitor for a mid-afternoon boost.
- Dorm or bedroom: a plaque above the bed, framed photos on the shelf.
- Bright windows: hang glass sun catchers nearby and let the color bounce around the room on crisp winter mornings.
Start with one spot you look at every day, then build out from there with more finds from our home treasures collection. And once the holiday cards start rolling in, that fridge is going to need a few more magnets!
Sayings That Stick With You
Words are the heart of this collection. These aren't generic wall quotes... they're the kind of encouragement you'd get from a friend who knows exactly what you needed to hear. We're obsessed with our Corner Magnet: Strong Women, a daily reminder of the strong women who raised us and the ones we're becoming. And the Tiny Block Keepsake: How Cool Is It makes gratitude feel doable, one glance at a time.
That's why these designs make such meaningful keepsakes. A framed photo captures a moment, but a saying captures a feeling you want to return to. Put the two side by side and your shelf starts telling your story. Pick the words that sound like you, or like the person you're cheering on, and let them do their quiet work every single day.
Little Gifts That Say a Lot
Need a just-because gift, or a stocking stuffer that actually means something? This is your collection! A magnet or tiny keepsake is small enough to tuck into a card, sweet enough to feel personal and useful enough that it actually gets displayed. Pair a frame with a printed photo from last year's cookie swap and you've made someone's whole week.
They also stack wonderfully with other small surprises. Add a sweet trinket dish for her nightstand, or build a mini bundle for a grad heading to her first apartment. For the encouragers in your life, magnets and plaques with uplifting words are a natural fit alongside our teacher and classroom decor, especially before winter break. Give & Live Happy is the whole idea here, and these tiny treasures carry it perfectly.

FAQs
How do I care for frames, plaques and keepsakes?
Keeping them fresh is easy! Dust with a soft, dry cloth and skip harsh cleaners, which can be tough on painted and printed finishes. Keep frames and plaques away from lots of moisture, so steamy bathroom shelves are better suited to other decor. That's really it. These are low-maintenance treasures made to be enjoyed, not fussed over.
Where will the magnets stick?
Anywhere magnetic! Think refrigerators, lockers, filing cabinets, magnetic whiteboards and metal front doors. They're a fun way to display photos, hold reminders and add personality to surfaces that usually go undecorated. If you want to hang holiday cards, notes or kids' artwork too, our magnet clips grip pages while still looking adorable on the fridge.
Are these good gifts for teachers, grads or friends?
Yes, and they land best with the people you can't hand something large. A magnet with the right saying fits inside a holiday card to a friend three states away. A plaque suits a teacher, who will read it every morning before the bell rings. And a little keepsake that fits in your palm works for the coworker whose desk is the only space that's really hers.
Can I mix frames, magnets and plaques in one display?
Absolutely, and we think you should! Mixing sizes and formats is what gives a shelf or gallery wall that collected-over-time charm. Try a plaque as your anchor, frames around it and a little block or two propped in front. Repeating one or two colors across the grouping keeps the whole look happy and cohesive instead of busy.
What sizes do these come in?
Sizes vary by design, from petite keepsakes that fit in your palm to plaques with more presence on a wall. Check each product page for exact dimensions before you buy, especially if you're filling a specific shelf or planning a gallery arrangement. The smaller formats are wonderful for desks and dorms where space is precious.
