About This Magnet

There's something about holding this one that gets me every time. Mary on the donkey, Joseph beside her with his staff, and "Bethlehem" carved right below them. The whole journey in 2.3 inches of olive wood. It's a religious fridge magnet, sure, but it doesn't feel like a trinket.

If you're looking for a magnet hand carved from real Holy Land olive wood, this is it. Not printed on wood. Not glued paper. Carved. Each one has its own grain pattern, its own little variation, because that's what happens when a person shapes something by hand instead of a machine.

We get orders for these year-round, but they move fastest around Christmas, which makes sense. People want something meaningful on their fridge, something that actually says something. This one says quite a bit for $3.50.

Perfect As a Gift

A teacher from Ohio emailed us a while back. She'd ordered a set of these as end-of-year gifts for her Sunday school kids, slipped one into each card. Said the parents kept writing to ask where she found them. That's a pretty common story around here, honestly.

For a magnet confirmation gift or a magnet baptism gift, this works without even needing to wrap it. Small enough to tuck inside a card. For a magnet christmas gift it's an obvious fit, and around Easter we see a big wave of orders for it as a magnet easter gift too. It's also been used as a magnet wedding gift, which surprised me at first but makes sense, the journey, the arrival, the beginning of something new.

Orders over $100 ship free within the US. We ship worldwide, so distance isn't a problem.

The Story Behind It

The family who makes these has been carving olive wood in Bethlehem longer than I've been alive. Same neighborhood, same craft, different generations picking it up. Most christian magnets you find online are factory-stamped somewhere far from the place they claim to depict. Ours are made in the actual city carved into every piece.

The olive wood comes from annual pruning of living trees. Nobody's cutting anything down. That matters to me, and I think it matters to the families who do this work too. They're not just making a product, they're keeping something alive, and every order placed here keeps them doing exactly that. Factory-direct, no middlemen, which is also why $3.50 is actually possible.

Care Instructions

Olive wood is low maintenance. If it starts looking a little dry, rub a small drop of olive oil into it with a cloth and it'll come right back. Don't soak it in water and you're fine.
