Thanksgiving is one of the few days the whole family ends up in one room. Somebody lines everyone up in front of the fireplace, and three people take the same photo. Then it goes into a group chat, and that's usually where it stays.
A photo magnet moves it to the fridge. These ideas use pins and magnets with a ready design: pick one, add your photo and words, and see it in the live preview before you order.
This Year's Table, on the Fridge
The Design Your Own Rectangle Magnet comes tall or wide, with a top line and a bottom line of up to 24 characters each. Choose Photo + Words and try one of these:
- The Lee Family / Thanksgiving 2026
- Everyone at Grandma's / Thanksgiving 2026
- Table for 14 / Nobody Left Hungry
- Year 22 at Aunt Dee's / Same Folding Chairs
- The Whole Crowd / Even Uncle Ray
One for Every Household
Tables are big this year. Butterball's 2026 Thanksgiving report puts the expected table at 10 people.
Make one for each house, with the same photo and different words on each:
- The Parkers / Thanksgiving 2026
- Grandma and Grandpa / Thanksgiving 2026
- Cousin Sam / Drove the Farthest
Hand them out at the next family gathering, or tuck one into a holiday card.
A Gift for the Host
Whoever hosts has been cooking since Tuesday and will be washing dishes until Friday. A photo magnet makes an easy host gift, and it fits in a coat pocket.
Some lines for the host, with your photo or with Words only:
- Mom's Table / 30 Years Running
- Head Chef / Do Not Open the Oven
- Thanksgiving at Ours / Bring a Chair
A Pin for the Reunion Crowd
If Thanksgiving doubles as your family reunion, put it on a pin. The Halo Celebration Round Pin has your photo in the center, with a top line and a bottom line of up to 18 characters each around it:
- LEE FAMILY / THANKSGIVING 2026
- GRANDMA'S TABLE / YEAR 40
- KIDS TABLE ALUM / SINCE 1998
Everyone can wear the same one, and it gives relatives who only see each other once a year something to talk about.
Name Tags for Relatives You Only See Once a Year
Big tables come with a familiar problem: someone's new partner, a second cousin, and an uncle nobody has seen since the last wedding. The Hello Rectangle Pin is the classic name tag format. Choose Name and Title, with up to 18 characters for the name and 28 for the title:
- Uncle Ray / Carves the Turkey
- Aunt Dee / Knows All the Stories
- Sam / Dating Your Cousin
- Grandpa / In Charge of the Remote
Choose a pin back or a magnetic clasp.
Name Every Seat
Skip the seating argument and put a pin at each plate. The Design Your Own Round Pin takes words only, with up to 20 characters on the top line and 22 on the bottom. A name and "Thanksgiving 2026" is all it needs, and guests can wear theirs to the table.
A Few Tips Before You Order
- Count the households, then add one. There's always a cousin who turns up late.
- Mix up the words. The same photo with a different line for each house is the fun part.
- Choose your size. Round pins come in 1.25", 2.25" and 3".
