MAGNETIC POETRY 911 FOR HOLIDAY GIFT-BUYING
Spark Creativity – and Smiles – with
Gifts for
Everyone on Your List from Magnetic Poetry
MINNEAPOLIS,
(October 2005) – It’s that time of year again: time to hunt for the
perfect gifts. Luckily, help is
close at hand. Whether shopping
for your hard-to-buy-for niece, nephew, or grandchild, or for your
already-has-everything sister, brother, Mom, or Dad, Magnetic Poetry has the answer, with affordable, fun gifts that spark
creativity, spread grins and are a welcome respite from the thousands of
products that flash bright lights and make loud sounds.
“This
year, give a gift that requires imagination and not batteries,” said Dave
Kapell, company founder. “Whether the people on your list are young or
old, creative or creatively-challenged, Magnetic Poetry has something just for
them that’s fun, won’t add to the noise of the season and can be
enjoyed 365 days a year. AND, you
don’t have to worry about which trend is really ‘in,’
figuring out what color is ‘the new black,’ or getting the right
size. There’s something from
Magnetic Poetry to fit everyone.”
Whether
you’re buying for a pet lover, golfer, book lover, food and wine
connoisseur, scrapbooker, movie buff, zen master, early reader, tweenager or
teenager, Magnetic Poetry has the perfect solution. Check out the ideas below and at www.magneticpoetry.com for something
for everyone on your list.
Haiku – For any Mom who could use a little more zen
(and a little less carpooling) in her life. And that’s, well, most Moms. (Suggested retail price, $9.95.)
Dog
Lover – These are good for any
one in the family, not just Moms (even though she’s the one who feeds
them). There’s also a Cat Lover and a Horse Lover kit.
(Suggested retail price, $9.95.)
Letter
Stamp Kits – If your Mom has a
creative bent, then these Letter Stamp kits are for her! Can be used for signs,
scrapbooks, furniture, walls, well, just about anything she wants to add words
to! The Letter Stamp kit includes 70 1-1/2” letter stamps, upper and
lower case letters, plus punctuation and numbers. (Suggested retail price, $19.95.) The Classic Letter Stamp kit includes 42 3/4" letter stamps, all upper case
letters, plus punctuation and numbers.
(Suggested retail price is $14.95.)
Word
Stamp Kits – Great for handmade cards, invitations (from baby
showers to wine tastings), and other craft projects, each kit contains over 80 magnetized rubber stamps. Arrange your message
magnet side up, then pick it up with the metal-plated stamping block and stamp
away. The kits, complete with inkpad and storage tin, come in five different
categories: family and friends; dates and seasons; holidays and events; love
and romance; and vacation and travel. (Suggested retail price, $19.95.)
Genius – Comes with really big words and a little
dictionary. Especially good to
give Dad just before you ask if you can borrow money or get an increase in your
allowance. (Suggested retail
price, $9.95.)
Wine
Lover - The perfect gift for dads
who know their chardonnay from their zinfandel. (Suggested retail price, $9.95.)
Rock
& Roll – For those of us
with hip Dads. Or, for those of us
with Dads who THINK they’re hip.
(Cut him some slack. Some
day we’re going to be old, too.)
(Suggested retail price, $9.95.)
Mixed-Up
Country Songs – For Dads who
are a little bit country and harbor a secret desire to make it big in
Nashville. To mix it up even
more, consider giving your country song-loving Dad a Rock & Roll kit, and
vice versa. (Suggested retail price, $9.95.)
FOR
THE COLLEGE CROWD
Mixed-Up
Movie Lines – For the college
kid who just completed an intensive cinema studies course ~ or maybe for one
who has been busy watching movies when she should be studying. (Suggested retail price, $9.95.)
College
Edition –The edition of
Magnetic Poetry created especially for describing the college experience. This is the perfect gift for erudite
liberal arts majors, as well as for engineers who, ah, sometimes need help
communicating. (Suggested retail
price, $9.95.)
Mixed-Up
Pick-Up Lines – Hey, you gotta
try them out some place, right?
And, if you get the cold shoulder, heck, it’s only the
refrigerator. (Suggested retail
price, $9.95.)
T-Shirt
Printing Kit - Everything he needs to create a custom made
t-shirt: sturdy upper- and
lower-case letters, numbers and punctuation in 160-point font along with six
colors of fabric paint and two brushes.

fabric paint onto the stamps and stamp onto fabric. This is a great gift for a
teen you don’t often have to accompany in public. (Suggested retail
price, $19.95.)
Freaky
Faces – Remember when Mom said
not to hold your face that way because it might just stay that way? Well, here’s a chance to try out
LOTS of strange looks ~ without the repercussions. Use Magnetic Poetry’s Freaky Faces tiles to add alien
eyes, vampire teeth and other looks to your favorite photo. (Suggested retail price,
$14.95.)
