Finding the perfect gifts for your friends and family is no easy task. How are you going to find amazing gifts on a budget? If you’re running out of ideas, here are a few unique magnetic gifts that would make great holiday stocking stuffers:

1. Ferrofluid

This magnetic liquid can be messy, but it’s a great teaching tool and loads of fun. For your hands-on friends or relatives who enjoy science, you can get them a ferrofluid kit. When under the influence of a magnetic field, this liquid comes alive and adopts interesting, sculpture-like patterns in its smooth surface. If your science-loving friends want to avoid creating a mess, try giving them a ferrofluid display bottle. The ferrofluid display bottle is just as much fun as the ferrofluid kit, and it’s more practical for someone who doesn’t want to clean up a liquid mess. Along with the ferrofluid display, you can get a magnetic hourglass for your friends or coworkers who enjoy cool desk ornaments. This magnetic gift has iron filings that arrange in different, fascinating patterns every time you flip it.

2. Magnetic Putty
