I just saw one of those at the store. Isn't that funny. I also thought it was a great idea! Great gift.

I make those magnetic book markers all the time, by recycling greeting cards. I get so many compliments on the gift. I give them for special anniversary's, birthdays, hospital stays and place them in some funeral cards too. I'm also a park greeter in Texas and make the book markers for gift bags. I give them to church for new church members. Great way to reuse the pretty greeting cards. This book mark, marks a last line read, not just the page. You place the book mark in the book sideway, on the part of the page you just finished reading.

I, too, make magnetic bookmarks - usually out of card stock or like Luscious Marilyn does, recycled greeting cards - anything with a stiff paper/card stock. I just delivered over 500 of them to my daughter's elementary school as an incentive for their reading program for the younger kids. They have to read so many books to get prizes. I make mine about the size of a 3 x 5 card, folded in two, then put the sticky coated magnets on the inside and decorate the outside with stickers - geared towards the recipient's age or interest. I get the sheets of the sticky coated magnets at WalMart and cut my own about an inch long.
