About Paris Giftshop Notes by Jean-Thomas Cullen

04. Refrigerator Magnets (RM)

This is such a key idea that I even made up an acronym (not to be confused with bad old Reichmarks).

Some people won't touch refrigerator magnets (RM), thinking they are tacky. Others (like me) love them within boundaries of good taste (meaning: quality, and less is more). We have acquired some gorgeous RM showing universities, palaces, and other iconic spots in Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Cologne, Luxembourg, and the like. I think at the moment our large kitchen fridge sports at most about half a dozen. Yes, a fridge looks terrible when plastered with RM (my abbrev., no relation to the dark money of the Suckin' Reich, nicht wahr?). On the other hand, a few carefully chosen top-quality images will add sparkle to your seltzer every time you pour a cool glass. Idea: buy as many as you want, and rotate them. Keep a favorite memory-drawer nearby, with all your treasures in it. Rotate once a week or month to keep the memories fresh. Fun that way.
