Keep Calm and Carry on, has been my mantra all week.   It’s been a really crazy week.   It’s now finally Friday, and seeing these Custom oval magnets in production, I just had to call the owner Mary Beth and ask to use these bad boys as our Magnet of the Week!

This design was made in 1939 by the British Government intended to raise moral during the beginning of the Second World War.   The posters were rediscovered in 2000 and have been re-issued by tons of companies as a decorative theme for major labels and products.

In this case these magnets are being sold in a nautical themed retail store, visit them online: http://www.shipshatch.com/

Our Magnet of the week goes to DVD Gift Baskets!  They have been adding a business card magnets to each gift basket sold, to promote their business.   If you’re celebrating a B’day, holiday or need to schmooze a client, they have customizable baskets for any person.   Our top pick has to be the “Will Ferrell” Basket!

Congratulations to our Magnet of the week winner!  Unfortunately, he who designed this must remain nameless.  This is top secret Gable family business.  All we know, is that there are about 52 of them meeting in Philly in 2012.  We speculate there will be ceremonies for the older folk, handshakes and embraces, perhaps even games and rituals.

My source tells me that this custom magnet is being given away to each member of the Gable family in some kind of “Goody Bag”, with many other offerings and favors. First rule about the Gable Family goody bag; you don’t talk about the goody bag.  This is a major surprise.  Well, you can’t talk about it until everyone has received one.  Then the Gable family can share what they received, be grateful for the effort involved and admire the design and quality of this prestigious magnet.

Congrats Gable family, sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun!
