Puffkins Magnets Introduced!

Picture added 3/10/99

**01/22/99** The first 62 styles of Puffkins magnets were announced in the Puffkin Press. These miniaturized Puffkins are similar to Puffkins key rings. The main difference between the two is that a strong magnet is hand-sewn into the back or bottom of each little Puffkin magnet instead of a key ring. Each magnet is covered with soft matching fabric so it doesn't scratch painted surfaces. The magnet styles include all the current Puffkins and also recent retirees Shelly, Max, Cinder and Elly.* Spike was not made into a magnet for the same reason he was not made into a key ring, he just didn't turn out well when miniaturized. Hugs, Kisses, Patty and Patrick were not made into magnets because of the small heart and shamrock designs on their paws.
