Normally I wouldn't bother writing about a novelty like the Hookeychain Magnet [Who are you trying to kid? -Ed] but this one is so much like something I made for myself a few weeks back that I kind of have to post.
The Hookeychain is just what it says it is: a keychain with a big magnet on it that doubles as a hook. I hacked something similar together from the spoke-magnet from a bike computer. My magnet breaks into two parts that screw together around a spoke. It turns out they also screw together around a keyring. As the back of my front door is covered in a metal sheet (it's a bad neighborhood), I can just throw my keys at the door and they stick.
Or they would, if the magnet wasn't shaped so only one side sticks. The Hookeychain solves this problem by hanging the keys on a cable, away from the magnet itself. The diagonally-sliced shape also makes it double as a hook for anything else you might have. You could hang a shirt on it to remind you to take it to the cleaners, for example, or use it to pin a shopping list so you don't forget it.
$16, in black, gold or silver.
