Magnetic spice racks are certainly not a brand, spanking new innovation in storage and space-saving, but MOCHA has made one in different colors. The beauty of it is that the small containers that have see-thru tops so instead of having labels that say "rosemary" and "tarragon," you can see all your pretty herbs and spices inside. Of course, that means you have to be able to identify all your herbs and spices by sight.
Each strip holds five containers and costs £13.99. As mentioned earlier by a commenter, it would be a great gift for a graduate, pre-filled with common spices.

Wouldn't a better gift be a way to organize spices in a cool, dry, dark cupboard?

Maybe it's easier at a glance to tell which is the paprika and which is the chile powder, but it also lets light in (obviously) which helps the essential oils to degrade more quickly.
I prefer my spice canisters to be light-tight and labeled.
