We found these Desk Dot ceramic magnets while searching the web for must-have office products. While these magnets aren't a necessity we like their simple design and their strong capacity for holding your stuff. More details after the jump.
These mighty magnets from hold up to half an inch of paper making them suitable to organize pads of paper, a stack of business cards or your weekly to-do's. They'd probably function great as stress relief balls and we'd know they'd be perfect play toys for our fidgeting moods. A more colorful option is this Globe Magnet Set from the MoMa Store.

Not for homes with small children. But I like them.
Or cats! But they certainly look like fun otherwise.
i love how it holds the card up as mine always falls down.
This is total junk.
These are sold here as toys. They are not really strong magnets BTW. Throw 2 in the air together, they attract and bounce with a singing (and annoying) sound.
Originally came in oblong shapes, now seen as these spheres as well.
As a desk organizer? Hmm.
it might be total junk but its cute junk! I like :D
Not around my laptop. I can see these rolling off my glass top table desk.
hint: if it's a truly 'must-have office [or anything] product' you wouldn't have to search the web looking for it.
@LoriSF: It's fun to imagine having a pair of these, one underneath the glass and one on top. Maybe you could use it to hold things under the glass, such a favorite picture or a beautiful print of a 2010 calendar (maybe printed on a 3" wide paper border to position along one edge of your desk.) Just seems like it would be fun to play with.
