You can find magnets in almost any speaker (telephones, televisions, intercoms) and in almost any DC motor (toys, battery powered drills or tools, battery powered massagers, etc. Most can openers have a magnet to keep the lid from falling into the can. Some jewelry has magnets, like the earrings for non-pierced ears that stick to your earlobes.
In many cases, you will break the device if you remove the magnet. This is true for speakers and motors.

Just buy a magnet, it would be much easier.
But if you do feel destructive then magnets can be found in loads of places including...
Speakers - good big magnets in these
Electric motors
Fridge door seals
Some kinds of door catch
Radios do not use magnets but if the radio has a speaker then there will be one in that.
Microwave ovens probably have a magnet in the magnetron but I could not claim to know much about these.
Hmm, just wikkipediad magnetron and it say that there are magnets involved.

i think there is a magnet in a TV picture tube - yes, you would break it if you took it out.
If your paper clips have been being held my a magnet they might be magnetized by now.
some scissors and some screwdrivers are magnetized.
In a sewing kit, there may be a magnet to hold pins and needles.
in the kids room - toy magnets.
In my home, i find magnets on the refrigerator and dishwasher.
AHA - i have one of the flashlights that doesn't have batteries - you shake it to make it work. It uses a magnetic field, so it must have a magnet.

If you have an older type burglar alarm where the doors have to be closed to set the alarm, then there is a small magnet in the door, ie two bits ....One in the door and the other in the frame. The one in the door is the magnet. Small screws hold in in place and it can be replaced after use.
Your alarm would not be effective when removed but as you would be in the house...no problems.

most motors work by magnets, some cupboards have magnets to keep them shut. Also try looking on the fridge.

Hmmmm....I haven't been in your house.
And to claify, you won't necessarily find a magnet in a radio, but in the loudspeaker.
But you might fiund one ---
--- in your cell phone: The thing that causes the "Vibrate"
--- in your door bell (if it is the ding-dong type)
--- in your cabinet doors: Some have a small magnet to keep them shut.
--- in the locomotive of your model train set
Ok, I'm getting silly, Bye!

There are some really powerful magnets in your Hard-drive. But it would definitely break it to take them out.

Yes! Any loudspeaker. The heavy metal bit is a magnet. The microwave has a [very dangerous] magnetron. DON'T MESS!

Hi-fi speakers, headphones, DC motors from toys, fridge (door seals),
You'd break any product if you took the magnet out - it needs them to work...
