One Magnet a Week: A Christmas Tradition for Grandkids Who Live Far Away

Distance is the hardest part of being a grandparent. You want to be part of the everyday moments, and most weeks, you can't be.

Here's a small way to close that gap this Christmas: instead of mailing the whole Nativity Story Magnet Set at once, split it up.

Ten pieces, ten weeks, ten envelopes

Send one piece a week, starting the week after Thanksgiving. Ten pieces, ten weeks, ten envelopes with your grandchild's name on them.

Each one becomes a small event — a piece of mail that's just for them, from you, that adds one more part to a story they're building on their own fridge. By Christmas, the whole Nativity is up, and they got there one week, one envelope, one phone call at a time.

• Write the piece number and its Bible reference on the envelope flap.
• Call the night it should arrive and read the reference together.
• Ask them to text a photo of the fridge as the story grows.

What it actually takes

It doesn't take a plane ticket to be part of a grandchild's Christmas. It takes a stamp, a set of magnets, and ten weeks of showing up.

Order by November 1 to leave enough time to split the set into weekly mailings before Advent begins November 29.

Moments that whisper are worth remembering. Because moments fade. Love doesn't.

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.
