The invention claimed is: 1. A product container configured to be magnetically affixed to a support surface to contain and dispense a product in a location adjacent to the support surface, comprising: an enclosure, configured to contain the product and to provide for dispensing of the product therefrom; an access opening formed in at least one side of the enclosure, the access opening being configured to provide access to the product to allow an individual to withdraw the product from the enclosure; and a magnet, removably attached to the enclosure and being configured to magnetically affix the enclosure to the support surface; the magnet having indicia disposed thereon, the indicia conveying information relating to the product. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the magnet includes a decorative shape. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein the decorative shape is a shape selected from the group consisting of: a logo, a plant, an animal, a portion of a plant, a portion of an animal, a tea leaf, and a curvilinear closed shape. 4. The container of claim 2, further comprising a plurality of magnets removably attached to the enclosure, at least one of the magnets having a decorative shape. 5. The container of claim 1, further comprising: a product packaged in individual, cylindrical packets contained in the enclosure; and a pair of retaining ledges formed on opposite sides of the access opening; wherein ends of the cylindrical packets are supported by the pair of retaining ledges to retain the packets within the enclosure. 6. The container of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of containers, each container having a magnet removably attached thereto, each magnet differing from other of the magnets in at least one of: an indicia disposed thereon; and a decorative shape in which the magnet is formed. 7. The container of claim 1, wherein the magnet includes indicia disposed on at least two sides of the magnet. 8. A product container configured to be magnetically affixed to a support surface to contain and dispense a product in a location adjacent to the support surface, comprising: a magnet, removably attached to the container and being configured to magnetically affix the container to the support surface; the magnet having indicia disposed thereon, the indicia conveying information relating to the product; an enclosure, configured to contain the product and to provide for dispensing of the product therefrom; and an access opening formed in at least one side of the enclosure, the access opening being configured to provide access to the product to allow an individual to withdraw the product from the enclosure. 9. A product container configured to be magnetically affixed to a support surface to contain and dispense a product in a location adjacent to the support surface, comprising: an enclosure, configured to contain the product and to provide for dispensing of the product therefrom; an access opening formed in at least one side of the enclosure; and a magnet, removably attached to the enclosure, the magnet having at least two configurations; i) a support configuration in which the magnet is non-magnetically attached to the enclosure and magnetically affixes the enclosure to the support surface; and ii) a decorative configuration, in which the magnet is removed from the enclosure and is magnetically affixed to the support surface without the enclosure as a decorative magnet independent from the enclosure. 10. The container of claim 9, wherein the magnet includes a decorative shape. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein the decorative shape is a shape selected from the group consisting of: a logo, a plant, an animal, a portion of a plant, a portion of an animal, a tea leaf, and a curvilinear closed shape. 12. The container of claim 9, further comprising: a product packaged in individual, cylindrical packets contained in the enclosure; and a pair of retaining ledges formed on opposite sides of the access opening; wherein ends of the cylindrical packets are supported by the pair of retaining ledges to retain the packets with in the enclosure. 13. The container of claim 9, further comprising a plurality of containers, each container having a magnet re-usably attached thereto, each magnet differing from other or the magnets in at least one of: an indicia disposed thereon; and a decorative shape in which the magnet is formed. 14. The container of claim 9, wherein the magnet includes indicia disposed on at least two sides of the magnet.
