Magnetic picture frames are typically clear plastic pockets with a magnetic back that will allow you to post your photos in an organized and secure way on any metallic surface. Now, most people would think that these magnetic photo sleeves come in one standard size only. But magnetic photo pockets 4x6 packs are actually not the only size available. In fact, size is not the only thing you can choose. And we’re here to list all the various types of magnetic photo frames that you can choose from.

Unless they live next door, it’s safe to say that grandparents love seeing photos of their grandkids a lot. That’s why giving them magnetic picture frames for refrigerator is a perfect gift. No need for them to worry about framing it and finding room on the shelf or on the wall. They can easily stick them on the door of their fridge!

While sticking memories on your fridge is the main purpose of magnetic picture frames, these sleeves can also hold other things such as reminders. For grandparents who need to quickly find an important phone number such as those belonging to family, neighbor, doctor, etc., then this is an ideal solution. Instead of writing it down on a piece of paper and placing it somewhere or scrawling it on a whiteboard (which can be erased accidentally), you can print out the list, slip it inside the magnetic photo sleeves, and stick it where it’ll be easily seen - on the refrigerator!
