In fact this post should not be a post since it is not that important, but it will. In some developing countries like my lovely country (Egypt) there are no sellers or manufacturer for magnets or there are some but difficult to find or reach. Many times I needed magnets to do some experiments or models, but I didn't find someone who sells magnets. Therefore, I decided to use magnets found in some available products around us. The following list is some of the products that you may extract magnets from them if they are scrapped:

§ Magnetic singing eggs: are one of the most popular toys
in the world. Made from highly polished hematite magnet material, they have a
deep black color and ultra smooth finish. Normally they are elliptical and
sphere shape.
These eggs are incredibly fascinating. Whenever they are separated, they will try to find each other. When they do, amazing thing happen. If you throw them to the sky, they will give out nice snake sound caused by strong magnetic attraction. So "snake eggs" is another cute nickname. It is also a healthy massage. When you feel tied, their magnetism will do good to your body.
