Paperchase magnets

Quirky British stationers Paperchase are always worth keeping an eye on, because although their lines are generally designed for adults, they often put out something that kids would love too.

We picked up a set of these epoxy magnets in a different design for a couple of pounds, and have found them so much more attractive than the usual cheap children's fridge magnets. They're sturdier, too, so have withstood cleaning much better. Chunky, rectangular and brightly-coloured, they have been well-received by the resident three-year-old.

Note that the link above points to Amazon UK, which a) accounts for the less-than-perfect image, sorry, and b) means that you should be able to get them shipped pretty much anywhere, for a price.
