Magnets are made up of ferromagnetic materials (iron, nickel, cobalt, neodymium alloys, etc.) or even semipermanent magnets. Each of these has a material that has some degree of magnetic permanence, where the spins of the electrons in the substance all align to generate a magnetic field. Refrigerators are made up of ferrous materials, to which magnets can stick, due to magnetic attraction.
