The Men Crying Magnet Set is… unusual. One might even call it silly. But if you’re a woman and have gotten into the habit of thinking that all men are cold-hearted beasts, maybe you need this.

Yes, men do cry. Not as fake as the guys on this one, but they do. Just because you find all the jerks it doesn’t mean they’re all like that…

On second thought, this might be better for men. Women fall for emotional stuff, so if you have a crying magnet at hand after you do something stupid, just stick it on the fridge and hope she’s impressed enough to not kill you on sight.

I never thought the “collection” of bubblegum under my highschool’s desks would make it big, but they did it.

In an appropriately disgusting way, each set of Stuck Up Magnets comes with 4 “flavors”: bubble gum, spearmint, peppermint and tutti-frutti. The wads of gum look (too) real except for the magnet embedded inside… which you might miss if you’re busy being grossed out by the apparent lack of manners some people have.

But who wouldn’t have fun using a bunch of these on the company fridge and watching co-workers jump back in disgust? I know I would…

Graphics addicts already see the world with menus on every corner… so the Photoshop/Illustrator Magnet Kits were long overdue.

Each set comes with the pieces to make any magnetic board look like the familiar computer screen. Need your layers? There they are. Lasso tool? Just at the bottom. It will only take them 30 seconds to get the fridge looking like a monitor – just slip a photo under them and maybe they’ll visit it more often – or even cook.

There’s 2 magnet kits to choose from, one for Photoshop and the other for Illustrator.

The Secret Mark Throwing Star Magnets look just like another curiously-shaped fridge magnet… until you see exactly where the magnets are placed.

Unlike the real shurikens they mimic, these are harmless… but can be pretty scary when first seen. Each star comes with two powerful magnets on the cut-off side, so they apparently pierce the fridge and pin the notes down.

No, sadly they can’t be thrown… well, they can, but the odds of getting it right are so slim it’s not worth it. And shurikens are dangerous, you shouldn’t be playing with them anyway.

Anyone who spends a significant part of the day online must have ran into a LOLcat at least once. Cute cats with bad grammar are one of the hottest things right now, and the best collection can be found on I Can Haz Cheeseburger. (Just don’t try to read the comments; 2 lines of bad grammar from a cat are tolerable, 200 5-line comments with bad grammar from humans aren’t).

LOLcat fans will be in heaven with the LOLmagnetz. Real world LOLcats incoming! The set includes no less than 384 words which should be more than enough, since LOLspeak doesn’t have a large vocabulary anyway. “I can has” + noun can get you out of any tight spot.

Unfortunately, cats and magnets don’t go together well (damn non-metallic animals), so the best approach will involve photos. But a family cat, a camera, a printer, a fridge and a pack of LOLMagnetz can ensure months of fun. Until the new internet fad takes over, at least.

Postcards, no matter how lovely they are, usually end up somewhere in a box, stashed away for “sake keeping” (aka never to be seen again). So an Australian company combined cards, magnets and souvenirs and got the very cool Bendy Friends, probably the only postcards that will have a better fate.

They’re bendy because they’re made from a special flexible foam and they’re friends because, really, look how cute the Australian animals pictured on them are. Even the frilled neck lizard looks adorable, not to mention the koala.

But what makes them real special is the fact that they’ve got embedded magnets. They’re basically fridge magnets you can mail. And, as we all know, a big white fridges is boring and is practically begging for a kangaroo to cheer it up, so I’m betting most of these will adorn kitchens in the months and years to come.

Space Invaders! Again! We’ve had a lot of 80s computer aliens themed merchandise, from pillows to badges, but the Space Invader Magnet Collection has me all excited.

What’s so special about some kitchen magnets? Well, nothing really, if we’re talking about functionality. But imagine the possibilities: a big white fridge and some black pixelated invaders. With a couple of sets you could turn a boring white space into a replica of the old-school game screen, how cool can that be?

Each set includes 5 pieces – a cannon and four aliens: UFO, squid, crab and octopus. Too bad you can’t buy each separately: you only need one cannon (maybe 3 if you’ve got the extra lives on “screen”), but many more invaders… 10 sets or so should be enough though, so if you like the idea start dropping hints to your friends.

There isn’t much you can say about fridge magnets. They are magnetic and reside on the fridge (or any other metallic surface in your house, if you want).

The Startled Kitten Magnet Set doesn’t bring anything new, but it has cats, and cats always need to be mentioned. And any cat owner can recognize the position of these kitties: “Oops! No I wasn’t trying to steal your lunch! Honest! *whoosh*”

The perfect gift for the cat lover who understands the mischievousness of their lovely pets.

Once again, I gave an item a quick glance and decided it was not worth my time… but when I came back, I realized it could actually be very useful.

The 4-in-1 LED Light sounds like any other LED device: just a light on a stick, what’s the big deal? The important thing here is the magnetic base. I remember the last time I tried to poke inside my computer, hold the flashlight with one hand, the screwdriver with the other hand, pull the card out with the third… oops. And there’s probably a dozen other places you can find an use for this. And when you’re not in need of light, you can use the laser pointer.

I don’t get which are the 4 functions this can fulfill, but I think the main one alone is worth the $6.
