A Grandparent's Guide to Sharing the Nativity Story

August 20, 2026·3 min read

Grandmother telling the Christmas story with Nativity magnets on the refrigerator

Grandparents have always been the ones who tell the story best — slower, with more detail, with the parts that matter most repeated twice. The Nativity Story Magnet Set gives that role something to hold onto.

Two ways to use it

Keep a set on your own fridge and tell the story your way when the grandkids visit. Or send the set to their house and walk them through it over the phone, one piece at a time, the same way you'd tell it in person.

  • On your fridge: the story is already up when they walk in, and they go straight to it.
  • On theirs: one call a week, one piece at a time, and the story is still yours to tell.

Why it lasts past January

It isn't a toy that gets lost in a bin by January. It's something that comes back out every year — and every year, it's still connected to you telling it.

Your Photos. Your Moments. Your Story. We press them so they stick around.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

How to start

Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com with a short note about the photograph you want to preserve and the moment behind it. We'll respond with simple next steps — how to send the image, a brief design questionnaire, and information about custom order options.

There is no shopping cart and no checkout. Every keepsake we make begins with a conversation, because every keepsake we make is built around a story.

Your photo. Your story.
