Magnetic pen holder for kitchen and office - never lose your pens again

Imagine yourself in the kitchen with a piece of paper in your hand as you gaze into your store cupboards and fridge, working out what to put on your shopping list. You reach for a pen to write the necessary items down, only to find that there are no pens anywhere in the kitchen and you have to search all around the house for one. Been there, done that. Thankfully there is a solution - buy a magnetic pen holder and attach it to your fridge or freezer! Alternatively, any flat steel surface (filing cabinet, desk drawer, cubicle wall or locker) will also do. You can thus store your pens in a handy, accessible place and at the same time free up valuable desk and shelf space.

Amazon sells a variety of magnetic pen holders in styles ranging from cute to sleek and contemporary. As well as being a useful purchase for yourself, they would also make a fun, inexpensive gift for anyone you know! Read on and see if any of them are for you.

Here's something for the dog lover in your life - E&S's range of magnetic pen holders, which are made from moulded resin and hand painted. E&S sell a big range of dog-themed pen holders, including dachshund, Shih Tzu, boxer and Boston terrier versions to name but a few.  All come with a free pen and a small notepad. They can also be used freestanding if you don't want to stick them on your fridge or wherever.

And finally… if a simple magnetic pen holder isn't quite enough for your needs, then how about a whole desk organiser kit? The kit shown here, which is by Magnetico, consists of a perforated steel push pin board, a magnetic pencil cup, a stapler, a staple remover, a tape dispenser, a ruler, four magnets and a marker pen! The board measures 19 x 16 inches and has a magnetic whiteboard on the back.
