Let’s be real. It’s OK—it’s me, Auntie Jenn. Life can be a lot, right? Between juggling client deadlines, meal inquiries (why is everyone always hungry?), and attempting to keep the Christmas cactus alive (I gave up on the orchids—I am so ashamed), it’s easy to lose sight of the moments that really matter. But here’s a secret: The solution to all that chaos might just be … your fridge.
Stick with me here. Ha ha ha ha, stick with me—look, I made a magnet joke.
Your Fridge Called—It Wants to Be Happier
Picture this: It’s 7 a.m., you’re making ambrosia nectar (a.k.a., coffee or tea), and your gaze lands on a boring magnet from some insurance company, holding up a picture of your family’s last beach trip. The photo has a few stains on it now from hanging out in the opening. Sure, the image is on your phone, but at 7 in the morning when you need a reminder about why you’re busting your arse, it’s not like you have the patience or time to scroll through 12K photos to reminisce about that day.
You guys surprised the kids with a road trip to LA. Malibu beaches, though crowded at peak season, are way better than Santa Monica (trust me). So yeah, the dog puked all over the back of the minivan, one kid whined about sand in his swim trunks while the other hunched over her phone, wishing she were at home so she wasn’t missing Natasha’s 13th birthday blowout, but in that now-stained fridge photo, you captured a core memory for yourself and your kids. You’re instantly transported back to the waves, when Kid A and Kid B remembered they liked each other as they romped in the Pacific Ocean, seeing who could jump higher at the oncoming waves, shrieking in delight as a dolphin pod floated past just offshore, taking turns coating each other with SPF100.
That day was not perfect, but the moments—the “glimmers”—THOSE moments are why we do the things we do for our oft-ungrateful loin fruit. (And Malibu—Zuma—really is a lovely place to cool off in July. Just get there early.)
Instead of that photo hanging on the fridge under the promotional magnet handed to you the last time you renewed your car insurance, MAKE THE PHOTO INTO A MAGNET. Glimmers are way more pleasing to look at than some poorly printed corporate advertisement for Harry Butz, your insurance sales rep who needs to give up the combover. You look great bald, Harry. Come on, man.
At Bard & Bloom, we specialize in glimmers. We take your best memories—the ones that make your lip quirk into a smile—and turn them into beautiful, custom photo magnets that deliver a tiny dopamine hit every time you see them. Because dopamine is the reason for every season.
It’s like a hug from your fridge. Or your locker. Or wherever you stick magnets. I’ll stop there; this could get weird.
It’s Not Just a Magnet. It’s a Mood.
We don’t stop at magnets (though, yes, they’re kind of our thing). We’re also here to create:
- Mugs that make your morning wake-up juice feel extra special.
- Tote bags that say “I’m stylish AND sentimental so suck it, haters.”
- Bookmarks that hold your place just before Jamie and Claire meet for the first time, a scene you would LOVE to finish reading but the dog just peed on the kitchen floor because no one else in the house knows how to open a door to let him outside.
Whatever you can dream up, we’ll try to make it happen. Your memories, your glimmers, deserve better than being buried in your phone’s photo album. (Also, you really should back it up. Just sayin’.)
We Make It SO Easy:
- Pick a photo (or ideally, nine). Your dog when he’s actually behaving? Your kids being their adorable selves? A snapshot from your last girls’ night out? You’ve got options.
- Decide where you want it to live: on a magnet, mug, tote, even a T-shirt.
- Sit back and let us work our magic.
We’ll package and ship your glimmers right to your door, so you can focus on more important things—like figuring out if you can spend next year’s holidays at a child-free spa.
Why Bard & Bloom?
Because we’re just like you—creative, a little sappy, obsessed with capturing and reliving the glimmers. We know what it’s like to look at a photo and feel that warm, fuzzy, OMG-I-really-am-a-lucky-bitch vibe.
We also know how great it feels to share that joy with others. Photo magnets make the COOLEST gift. And you don’t have to give Gramma or Grampa a technology lesson whenever they want to see photos of the baby—the photos, printed with top-quality Epson printers and protected with a mylar covering—are now hanging on their fridge to enjoy 24/7/365!
