do you buy bookmarks or use something else?

What do you use as a book mark? It may sound strange because I read heaps, but I rarely have proper bookmarks. I often use bits of paper, old envelopes and a variety of things (even other books) to keep my place in a book, so I could often lose the place. Of course I have picked up a few free bookmarks from the library over time, but these are always hiding when you need one. Recently, when I was visiting my sister in the town my mum grew up, and I often visited when I was young, I was in a souvenier shop and saw these great bookmarks with lovely photos from this area (of the cliffs, historic village, rock formations etc) - the bookmark folds in half and has little magnets at the bottom of each half. You just put the bookmark over your page and the magnets join together on both sides of the page you are up to, so it won't fall out of your book. It's pretty nifty plus I can often reminisce about childhood holidays now because I often use it (except when it goes hiding).
