Customizable desk organizer

A customizable desk organizer for the organization of supplies comprising:

• a base having a top surface;
• a first set of magnets disposed within the base, each magnet of the plurality of magnets residing within a first plane, wherein two magnets within the first set of magnets are separated from one another by a first predefined distance and positioned proximal to the top surface;
• a first receptacle having a first bottom surface configured to mate with the top surface of the base, the first bottom surface having a first shape;
• a plurality of sockets disposed within the first receptacle, wherein two sockets of the plurality of sockets are separated from one another by a second predefined. distance, the second predefined distance being substantially equal to the first predefined distance;
• a first cavity disposed within the first receptacle and configured to receive an object, and
• a second set of magnets disposed within the first receptacle and positioned within a second plane, wherein each magnet of the second set of magnets resides within one of the plurality of sockets and secured by an adhesive, such that when the bottom surface of the first receptacle is placed onto the top surface of the base, at least two magnets of the first set of magnets of the base are magnetically coupled to at least two magnets of the second set of magnets of the first receptacle, thereby securing the first receptacle to the base, whereby the second plane is parallel to the first plane when the first receptacle is magnetically secured to the base;
• a second receptacle having a second bottom surface having a second shape, the second receptacle including:
• a first portion residing parallel to the first plane when the second receptacle is positioned adjacent to the base,
• a second portion extending away from a portion of the first portion toward a terminal end of the second portion, wherein a first angle is formed between the first portion and the second portion,
• a third portion extending away from the first portion and the second portion toward a terminal end of the third portion, wherein a second angle is formed between the first portion and the third portion, wherein the first angle is less than the second angle, and
• a retention mechanism disposed at the terminal end of the third portion, the retention mechanism configured to prevent an object disposed on a ledge formed by the third portion, the second portion, and the retention mechanism from unintentionally being disposed away from the second receptacle;
• and
• a second set of sockets disposed within the second receptacle and residing within a third plane and a third set of magnets being disposed within the second set of sockets and secured with an adhesive, such that when the second bottom surface of the second receptacle is placed onto the top surface of the base, at least two magnets of the first set of magnets of the base are magnetically coupled to at least two magnets of the third set of magnets of the second receptacle, thereby securing the second receptacle to the base, whereby the third plane is parallel to the first plane;
• wherein the placement of the at least two magnets of the second set of magnets of the first receptacle and of the at least two magnets of the third set of magnets of the second receptacle with respect to the base is interchangeable, thereby enabling multiple configurations of the modular desktop organizer.

• a retention mechanism disposed at the terminal end of the third portion, the retention mechanism configured to prevent an object disposed on a ledge formed by the third portion, the second portion, and the retention mechanism from unintentionally being disposed away from the second receptacle, and
• a second bottom surface having a different geometric shape than the shape of the first bottom surface of the first receptacle;
• a second set of sockets disposed within the second receptacle and residing within a third plane;
• and
• a third set of magnets disposed within the second set of sockets and secured with an adhesive, such that when the second bottom surface of the second receptacle is placed onto the top surface of the base, at least two magnets of the first set of magnets of the base are magnetically coupled to at least two magnets of the third set of magnets of the second receptacle, thereby securing the second receptacle to the base, whereby the third plane is parallel to the first plane;
