Mould & Paint Glitter Fairy Fridge Magnets

Advantages: Great Fun, Easy to Do, Good Results
Disadvantages: Not for Boys

...For ages 5 and over This is a Choking Hazard for 3 years and below. Priced from around £4.99 (I paid £5.99), purchased from most Good Toy Shops My daughter who is 8 years old had this as one of her birthday presents. She is very arty crafty and loves pretty things, so this Mould & Paint Glitter Fairy Fridge Magnets had all the things she likes rolled into one. The box is a little deceiving as you can also make brooches from this kit as well as fridge magnets. The box this comes in is beautifully presented. The idea of this is to make plaster moulds of fairies using one of the blisters provided. There are 6 blisters of different fairies which all come with their own names:- Rosalva, Sarette, Abella, Eloiny, Delicia and Felicitae. This kit will make a total of 12 badges/fridge magnets with the plaster supplied, but...

My fridge smiles at me all day!

Advantages: Easy convenient photo displays for all the family
Disadvantages: Might have to look at yourself first thing in the morning.

...or people in your life who may make you smile. *The Pixel Frame Rather oddly named, the Pixel is designed as a fridge magnet frame. It holds 3 photos each measuring 6'x4'(x1) and 2.5'x3.5'(x2). Its vital statistics are: Width:160mm; Height: 210mm; Weight: 57g All you need to do is choose your print; insert it into the pocket behind the frame and snap it onto your fridge (or other metallic flat surface). Now you have a great point of interest or even an ice breaker in your kitchen. I found these incredibly useful when my children were small - an instant distraction from the "will you play with me?" whilst trying to make dinnner and a chance to develop speaking and interactive skills using an interesting event or person as a starting point. (And you thought it was just a boring old fridge magnet!) *Any other great claims? Plastic magnetic...

  Positive polarity from Magnet if you stick with my tips

Advantages: Reasonable kitchen, helpful installers willing to fix all snag issues
Disadvantages: Expensive, poor communication at times, work overran slightly, chasing up required

...say is that no job of this nature will be without issues during installation and the key is to stay calm, don't take it personally, don't annoy the installers and be polite yet firm with Magnet. THE DECISION To make sure I was getting a decent price on this, I got three separate quotes, from Magnet, Homebase and Moben. Homebase was cheapest, but I'd heard things about our local Homebase that put me off, and the salesman from Moben treated me like a fool, trying the hard sell from the off, so I didn't trust them. Instinct told me that the more expensive Magnet would provide the best service, and so I plumped for them. THE SOFTISH SELL As the local showroom is near work, I went in one day and arranged an appointment with a "designer" (or, more accurately, "salesman"). I was given a sheet of squared paper and asked to take...

Keep it up

Advantages: Sticks things to fridge
Disadvantages: Not for you if you don't like HSM

...HSM FRIDGE MAGNETS We tend to stick things on the fridge to remind us of dates and events, and because most of these are for Little Miss, it seems fitting that we use High School Musical magnets. The magnets themselves come in a sealed plastic packet, which require scissors for opening. Once opened, i find that the whole strip is magnetic, and that the stickers themselves peel off. There is a warning that care should be taken when peeling off the stickers in case the thin bits tear. We didn't find this a problem at all and in fact I was quite impressed with the fact that the magnets peeled off easily without tearning. They do naturally feature the High School Musical gang including Gabriella,Troy, Sharpay, Ryan, Taylor and Chad. Some of the characters feature twice including Gabriella and Troy (as expected). The only thing...

Magnetic Magic!

Advantages: Good chunky magnets, entertaining, loads of fun
Disadvantages: None!

...Two days ago was Harry's 2nd birthday. He's been a very lucky boy and has been given some wonderful gifts by his family, each of which has made him a very happy little man! We had a little party for him yesterday, and one of the presents from his aunt and uncle was this Fireman Sam Magnet Book. When he ripped off the paper, Harry's face lit up and he sat reading it for ages, it clearly eclipsed his other presents for a while! My Fireman Sam Magnet Book is a relatively new book in the Fireman Sam franchise made for toddlers and older children. This book is a lovely hardback, with its top half in bright red, just like the Fire Engine Jupiter, with a big picture of Fireman Sam and Jupiter on the bottom half of the book. It's lovely and bright, really eye-catching and very inviting for children. My first impressions of the book were...

Death magnetic

Advantages: great album
Disadvantages: few tracks that are dislikeable

...Metallica Death Magnetic: 11 Tracks Heavy Metal Released 12/09/2008 In my honest oppinion this is an amazing album, ive not been a fan long but i have heard all of their albums they are simply an amazing band. When i first listened to this album i wasnt so sure how i felt but it grew on me now i listen to it quite a few times a day. The tracks are 5 mins+ That was just your life: For the first Track i have to say what a brilliant opening to the album, Great guitar rhythm that really gets you going...imagine being in a mosh pit with that playing :D The end of the Line: This one didnt get my attention straight away. I think it has one of those beats that gets me all hyped up but once it gets further into it i get kinda bored. Broken, Beat and scarred: I love the Start of this track it gets my feet going to...

Beware Magnet Kitchens

Advantages: Glossy Brochure With Pretty Pictures
Disadvantages: Criminal Issue, Against Building Regulations, Fire, Safety & Health Hazard.

...My experience of having a kitchen installed by Magnet is still on going and has not yet been resolved since September 2007. Workmanship is shoddy and the installation is dangerous and against building regulations. I have recently had an independent builders' report which confirms my concerns, which Magnet are starting to dispute seven months after my initial complaints. The kitchen poses Health, Safety and Fire risks. I have found Magnet to be irresponsible, uncooperative and unhelpful. I have also found the kitchen fitters rude, after them calling me a liar. I would not recommend Magnet for anything and know that they would certainly not put a photograph of my kitchen installation in one of their brochures. The independent builder said 'It looks like children have installed this kitchen!' There are lots of issues...

magnetic catflap

Advantages: hole in the door for your cat
Disadvantages: that any other cats can use

...We bought this catflap because we have a big problem with the cat next door. it comes in the house attacks our cat, wakes up the baby and eats our cats food. The evil cats favourite trick is to whack the cat flap with it's paw, this it did so much one night that it broke the old cat flap. So we decided to get one of these flaps to stop it coming in. Our cat (precious and we wonder why she's a wimp!) had considerable trouble getting in the flapat first then sorted it out. For those of you that don't know the mechanism is a small bit of plastic that pokes out in the way of the flap opening inward. The magnet that you attach to your cat's collar releases this to leave the flap unobstructed. Sounds like a great idea or so we thought. However after a couple of weeks next doors cat just whacks the flap until it opens. So a complete...

Our Dreadful Experience of Magnet Kitchens

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Dreadful service and poor quality units

...Last year we were fortunate enough to be able to build a new extension to our home and incorporate our dream kitchen. Unfortunately we chose Magnet and that dream turned into a nightmare. The problems began the day we first arranged to see a kitchen designer. Our appointment was for 10am but Magnet rang to say we were double booked and asked us if we could come at 11am instead. We said OK, but when we got there no one was expecting us at all. How we wish we'd walked out there and then. We were made to feel very unwelcome and this was borne out when we received the order for checking after our kitchen had been 'designed by an expert'. It was very wrong. It took another two attempts just to get the order right. The kitchen was delivered with the wrong oven housing, the wrong fridge/freezer housing (to fit the fridge/freezer supplied...

More fairies...

Advantages: Arty crafty pretty things
Disadvantages: only 6 of them

...Mould and Paint Glitter Fairy This is another one of those gifts when, once given, little miss just HAD to make! **What is in the box?** Inside the box, there are the obligatory instructions, written in several languages, as well as a blister pack of 6 designs, plaster powder, glitter, magnets, paint (5 colours),pins, and paint brush. The idea is that there are sufficient materials to make six fairy moulds, which can be made into either fridge magnets or badges. **How to make them** The instructions are quite complex so children will need an adult to read them, but as long as they are supervised, there is no reason why they can't follow the instructions, and actually make the fairies themselves. It really is quite simple. The plaster has to be mixed, and we added the water very slowly so that Little Miss could watch...
