There’s nothing more scintillating than being able to cheer your team on to victory-and having the memorabilia around your house to show it. The question is, what can you really do with all of that memorabilia when the season’s over? Some items, such as autographed game balls or pennants, can be saved and will appreciate in value over time. This is true of the NFL magnets which almost every football fan has proudly tacked to their fridge as well.
The problem is, a refrigerator will only hold so many magnets, and chances are that if you are a die-hard football fan there is only a limited amount of room in your home for storing these precious treasures. We’ve come up with a better solution than leaving them lying around the house, collecting dust in the hopes that one day you will find the motivation to list them on e-Bay. Listed below are thirteen real life uses for your “useless” magnet collection.1) Put them on the refrigerator.
2) Put them on your car bumper.
3) Put them on your neighbor’s car bumper.
4) Walk around a parking lot randomly distributing magnets on car bumpers-laugh hysterically as the drivers stare at each other in confusion.
5) Use them to locate metal studs in your walls, then hang pictures without puncturing the drywall and creating an unsightly hole in the paint. An NFL magnet is much more aesthetically pleasing than the ugly metal picture frames you got for Christmas last year.
6) Select two magnets, one from a team that is winning and one from a team that is-losing, for lack of another polite term. Place them on your dishwasher, with the losing team symbolizing that the dishes are dirty and the winning team that the dishes are clean.
7) Paperweights
8) Attach them to a string and give them to your children to run through the house looking for needles/thumbtacks/safety pins that have been lost. This is much safer than having them run through the house in bare feet.
9) Take them to work and hide them in your desk for use as projectiles when your boss is not looking.
10) Take them to work and use them when the boss requires your group to do yet another teambuilding project-what better way to build something than to have hundreds of magnets at your disposal?
11) Give them to your friends and family as gifts. No, it doesn’t matter whether they actually like football or not. The point is that you thought of them.
12) Use them to re-wallpaper the walls. That ugly green looked bad anyway.
13) Be creative. Open up a roll of duct tape and create a magnet bouquet for your wife/sister/mother/daughter/friend. They will be touched. |
