Our Story
Little Keepsakes, Made With Care
Your Memories. Made Magnetic.
Why we started Lynn Bug’s Custom Keepsakes
Lynn Bug’s Custom Keepsakes was created to turn everyday memories into meaningful little keepsakes. From a child's silly smile to a beloved pet, a wedding day, or a photo that simply makes you happy, we believe the best memories deserve a place where you can see them every day.
Most of our favorite photos live on our phones, scrolled past and forgotten. A magnet brings one back into the room with you — on the fridge, the filing cabinet, the locker, the workshop toolbox. It's a small thing that turns out to matter a lot.
Lynn Bug’s Custom Keepsakes is a small Southern Illinois business built around connection, celebration, and thoughtful handmade service. Every order is trimmed, checked and packaged by hand. When you order from us, you're not sending your photos into a factory — you're handing them to a neighbor.
Out in the community
You'll find us at markets all season long
Local markets are where Lynn Bug’s Custom Keepsakes started, and they're still our favorite place to be.
Kind words
From the people we make things for
“Our wedding favor magnets were the only thing guests took home and actually kept. My mother-in-law has hers front and center on the fridge.”
Hannah & Cole
Wedding · Carterville, IL
“I brought a stack of old family photos to the market and picked up the sweetest set of magnets an hour later. My grandma cried.”
Marisol P.
Market shopper · Carbondale, IL
“The QR-code magnet table at our company picnic was a hit. Everyone ordered from their phones, and the magnets showed up in the mail a little later.”
Derek L.

“Ordered a set of nine of my dog and I have zero regrets. The gloss on these is gorgeous and the colors are true to the photos.”
