Magnetic Poetry has just the thing for 50-Somethings, Beach Lovers, Monsters & Cuties, and anyone in a Mixed-Up Relationship
(and you know who you are)
MINNEAPOLIS (Summer 2008) – This summer, Magnetic Poetry is taking the heat off of gift giving with new products that promise to bring out your inner poet, tickle your funny bone and inspire your creative streak. After introducing a new line of Go Art Activity Kits, Kids¹ Chinese Kit, Magnetic Play Scenes, and Go Games Kids¹ Sudoku and Animal Memory Match just this spring, Magnetic Poetry is now adding nine brand new products this summer. The latest additions include fun stuff for all ages, with new products to express yourself in your home and garden, school and work:
For Kids:
Magnetic Monsters & Cuties – Start with a cut-out shape (star, saguaro, alien, and others) and chose from an assortment of eyes, mouths, noses, moustaches and other accessories to create your very own cute – or creepy! – creature. The colorful magnets make it easy to change the look over and over. Create a cute playmate or a scary monster and make up a story to match their look. There are 4 different kits and each kit comes with two cut-out shapes and more than 45 face parts and bright, bold accessories. Monster or cutie? You decide! Good for ages 5 and up. Suggested retail price is $7.95.
For All Ages:
Mixed-Up Relationship
– Take two people, put them together and you¹ve got all the makings for a
mixed-up relationship (well, at least, some days, right?). Have some fun by mixing common
phrases about relationships to create your own mixed up true-isms. Try it out: My – mother/dog/personal hygiene – has nothing
to do with it/makes my butt look big/never listens to me. Kind of cathartic, isn¹t it? Suggested retail price is $9.95.
The Beach Kit
– Whether you live near a beach, or far away and are wishing for the
squish of sand between your toes, this is the perfect gift to conjure up those
sunny, easy-going days on the beach.
The kit contains more than 240 word magnets about things like water,
waves, sand castles, beach balls, seagulls, yellow polka dot bikinis . . .
Surfs up. Vacation anyone? Suggested retail price is $9.95.
Body Double –
Liven up your fridge by adding these body magnets to your favorite family
photo. How about Fido¹s head with
a surfer dude body? Grandma as a
muscle man? Uncle Frank as a
cheerleader? It just takes a second
to picture your friends and families with another identity. Suggested retail price is $5.95.
Pictograms –
Comes with 30 magnetic symbols and words.
Use this combination of symbols and words to leave messages that are fun
and easy to decipher. Suggested
retail price is $5.95.
Txt Messaging
– omg. Some of your kids¹
favorite txt msgs on magnets so you can communicate gr8! Leave notes they¹ll understand. lol. Suggested retail price is $5.95.

Caroline Kennedy, Ellen DeGeneres, Prince, Madonna, Michelle Pfeiffer,
even AARP – they all turn 50 in 2008. Help commemorate the big 5-0 with this Magnetic Poetry kit,

lip. Yeah, we¹ve got the right
attitude. Suggested retail price is $9.95.
