Sick of having to pull every knife out of a conventional block until you find the one you’re looking for? J.A. Henckels’ has come up with a way to display your knives without having to hide the blade with this magnetic knife block. The magnets are hidden within the angled block allowing the entire knife to be displayed, showcasing your precision sharpening artistry and striking terror into all your sliceables. The block will sell for around $80 when it’s released later this year.

Freud would have a field day with the manner in which some people will want to dress this magnetic copy of himself. I am sure he would understand you putting a suit and hat on him, he may not take so kindly to the leathers and mohawk. Your fridge, your choice. Much more fun than your average set of magnetic poetry on the refrigerator.

These magnetic, double sided picture frames will make an acrobat out of anyone. Choose who you want to include, get a small headshot of them then place it in a frame. You can stack the miniature, stick figure like frames to make the group of people look like tiny acrobats doing a show just for you. If you are a bit more imaginative, I am betting you can find some alternate poses that may not be so flattering.

This Racing Sperm set doesn’t work too much differently than the actual ones. Just get them wound up and see which can find the attraction of the magnetic egg first. It is a struggle for survival so these little guys should be putting everything they have into their wriggling across the floor.

Keep track of your memos with this magnetic shooting range target board. I suggest using the location of the darts to stay organized. For example: a headshot memo is of the utmost importance while a shoulder shot can be safely put on the backburner.

That one friend who always checks out what you have to eat or drink as soon as they show up can be pretty damn annoying. This fake Refrigerator Lock Up should look real enough to keep them out while you have easy access (the two shackles are actually magnets).

Not every elf at the North Pole can be completely happy and carefree. I see no reason not to include that unhappy soul as well as all the others come the Christmas holiday. This magnetic elf comes complete with plenty of words he can use to voice his displeasure. Let all the kids have a turn at coming up with the most offensive insults and leave the best one up on the fridge. De facto slavery is never pretty.

What better way to inform someone you are going to sue them than to let this remote control lawyer do the job. You can program in whatever phrase you like in addition to the stock phrases he comes with and play them at a push of a button on the briefcase remote control. He comes complete with a spiked collar and a crushed victim just to let people know who they are messing with. When you are out for blood you don’t want some pansy little lawyer.
