The word

Sies is the sound of disgust: eww, yuck, or "that's not on". As in: "Sies, the dog rolled in something!" Its softer cousin siestog means "shame, poor thing". It's the word every Saffa kid hears first, and every American partner learns fast.

What you get

One Sies fridge magnet in your choice of style: Sunshine, Seaside, Veld 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
