Anyone that enjoys flexing their lexicon muscles in a good word scramble game will enjoy sticking important notes to the fridge using Scrabble Magnets.
An easy DIY project, the lettered tiles from the board game are simply super-glued on to a small magnet and voila -- one's kitchen is transformed into an impromptu Scrabble board.
Other lettered magnets have been made before, usually found in dorm rooms for leaving fun messages for friends to see when they go into the fridge for a snack, but few have incorporated the competitive aspect that accompanies the board game tiles.
While the tiles are mostly just for fun, be warned that most Scrabble players take their game play very seriously, thus turning the fridge into the meeting place for some high-stakes word play.
