I love products that have multiple uses, and this one’s a real favourite in that category.

Function one: it’s a money box.

Now here’s a great gift idea for anyone who would love to have a pet, but doesn’t fancy dealing with the moulting, walking, litter tray cleaning and furniture scratching that result from owning cats and dogs.

Triassic Triops are shrimp-like creatures that first lived at the same time as some of the best-known dinosaurs.

I’ve been looking at dry-wipe boards for the office lately, but so far I haven’t found any that are the right size and are magnetic as well as wipeable - not without spending a fortune, at any rate.

This magnetic black board is actually a better option than a dry-wipe board, I reckon, because for a start it doesn’t require any special pens - just a bit of good old-fashioned chalk, which is way cheaper than dry-wipe pens.

At A3 it’s the pefect size for the little bit of wall I currently have available - and being magnetic, it’s ideal for keeping safe all those little scraps of paper that have a tendency to disappear, like phone numbers and dental appointment cards.

It’s also a really handy product for the home; hung on the wall in the kitchen, it’s a useful place to make a quick shopping list, or hung by the ‘phone it’s great for taking down messages or keeping takeaway menus handy.

The Magnetic Black Board makes a great gift for kids, too… when I was small, my little blackboard on its easel was one of my favourite toys, and of course it helps children practise their reading and writing, so it’s educational as well as fun.
