The word

Jislaaik (say it: YIS-like) is the word for wonder, delight, dismay or "I can't believe this", depending on how you say it. As in: "Jislaaik, that's a big truck!" Nobody knows exactly where it comes from, which somehow makes it even better.

What you get

One Jislaaik (YIS-like) fridge magnet in your choice of style: Sunshine, Seaside, Veld (say it: FELT) or Sunny Mix.

Size & materials

A flat, square fridge magnet with the word, its say-it guide and its meaning. Printed in the USA. Many stainless-steel fridges aren't magnetic, so it may not stick to yours. Each magnet is 3 × 3 in (7.6 × 7.6 cm).

Gift ideas
