Allsorts Fridge Magnets

Allsorts Fridge Magnets work as a cheap bit of kitchen decoration, usually bought to break up a plain fridge door with mixed shapes, colours or a candy-shop feel. By our assessment, the attraction is that they are instant and unruly in a harmless way: they make the surface feel less blank with almost no effort. The trade-off is that this kind of magnet set is mostly about appearance, so once the novelty fades, there is not much left besides holding up notes. In daily use they are the sort of small thing that gets noticed for a week and then becomes part of the background. Against plain office magnets, Allsorts Fridge Magnets are more playful and less tidy, which is the point and also the limit. They fit a casual kitchen better than a place where everything is supposed to look matched and quiet.
