The lovely Jennifer was the first to bite…
I have a mission for you (should you choose to accept). We just got a new stainless steel fridge. Very pretty inside and out, but magnets don’t stick to it and I really miss my photos, notes, and lists that decorated my old fridge. I’ve been trying to find something that sticks to stainless steel, especially some kind of photo frames….So, are you ready to play Tom Cruise (cue Mission Impossible music)?
I was on this right away. Right now I am the proud owner of NO fridge at all, since I am currently renting out my house in Toronto (which has a fridge that is approximately 87 years old) and living at my parents’ house in Atlanta (which has a lovely stainless steel fridge, but I wouldn’t dare put anything up, since, you know, not my house).
But I dream of stainless steel appliances. REALLY. But, I have wondered what I would do with one if I couldn’t put up all my magnets and pictures and invitations adorable pieces of artwork that my children proudly show me and I proudly want to display.
So, I did a little digging. For Jennifer and for my future fridge. And I came up with two solutions that work best.
This, friends, is a Choopa Board.
According to its website, it is the first of its kind. [It is] a powder coated sheet of metal, backed with powerful suction cups allows you to place a magnet board on most flat, nonporous surfaces without the need to drill, nail or use adhesives. Place ChoopaBoard on your glass door, granite, and stainless steel appliances without marring your surface!
Great space for your kids to play with all their magnet toys!
They are available in two sizes, 11″ x 11″ ($19.99 US) and 16″ x 22″ ($32.99 US), and YES THEY SHIP TO CANADA!
This, friends, is a fridge clip.
Lulalu has a line of clips to stick in places where magnets stick AND in places where they don’t, like your stainless steel fridge! According to their website they are made of revolutionary material that grips to slick surfaces and leave no residue. They are a way to stylishly post reminders, children’s artwork, to-do lists and more.
They come in one-packs ($6 US) and 3-packs ($15 US) in over 100 colors and patterns and YES THEY SHIP TO CANADA!
Hi, ladies! If you haven’t seen Fodeez® Frames, you’ve got to take a look at the handy little product I invented after we built our house 9 years ago, and I couldn’t add magnets to the wood panel fridge we have. It took 4 years to get them made correctly, but if you see them, you’ll see why I can’t live without them now! Not only can I stick items to the fridge, but the the dry erase feature makes them the most functional item in my house. I’ll be on HSN next week, but would love your help in getting the word out. Thanks for reading! Almost forgot to list the website . . . http://www.fodeez.com
Hey folks, do be aware that magnets stick to TRUE stainless steel. Many of the refrigerators sold these days are a stainless steel ‘look’ and are really brushed aluminum. Magnets will not stick to aluminum. If you have a real stainless steel refrigerator, your magnets will stick as they always have.
In addition, the best craftsmen in the world for the manufacture and design shows a piece of jewelry, engineers, writers, designers and goldsmiths. P

Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things ? wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete… babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.
Love it. Great job of putting this work together.
Hi there – I have called the Choopa board people in CA and also sent an email with no success.
Does anyone know where you can actual purchase one? – or who to contact?
I live in Canada.
thanks
“I’d definitely smash that. Then I wouldnt decision the subsequent day (simply kidding).”
This article is pretty interesting. Thanks so much! We have enough gun control. What we need is idiot control.
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
I’ve been making what I call MagPoints, using discs of plated steel with poster tape on the back, companioned with very strong magnetic ‘push-pins’ to allow notes or photos and such to be attached to a stainless steel fridge.
You can make your own by merely attaching poster tape or the more permanent foam tape to the back of anything steel and mounting it on your fridge to then accept any of your own magnets.
For fun you can stick some poster tape on a cork slice, glue it into a bottle cap with your own sticker on the front for posting notes to.

Excellent! Thanks for this! I found this site from Google, I’ve already bookmarked this site and of course will revisit again. Thank you!
The magnique boards are lovely – but they are a fortune – got anything a bit cheaper?
I LOVE happeez clippers ..I love them so much i bought the matching wipee board with a frame!! Sadly I dont see wide distribution of this product.
Thanks Ali and all the commenters. Now I have something to add to my Christmas list (which sadly I can’t stick to my fridge…yet).
I found a magnetic board at Staples and put it on the fridge with two sided sticky tape. It works great. I stick pictures on with sticky tack and it wipes clean when I move them.
Or…you could buy a beautiful and stylish custom magnetic board from ME! And continue to enjoy the clutter-free fridge!
Come on over and check us out….www.magnique.com and YES they are MADE by ME in Canada! 🙂
Love you Ali! Hope you don’t mind a shameless plug by me!!
