Don't throw away old theme calendars, some of them have thumbnails on the very back page that make perfect fridge magnets. Cut each thumbnail out individually and place on a magnetic sheet (the kind that you buy at the dollar store). If you place them close together you can get a lot of magnets out of one 5 x 7 inch magnet sheet. Great for someone who wants small gifts to enclose as tuck-ins
Source: me, I have done this for years, then I sell them at craft sales for $1 each.

I have done something very similar to this, but I laminate the picture that I am using. Another thing I like to do is to use magazine thumbnails.
