A modular magnetic storage system including a container attachable to a surface, the container including a vessel having a top end, a bottom end, a wall and a magnet housing, the bottom end being positioned opposite to the top end, the wall extending between the bottom end and the top end, the wall and the bottom end defining a cavity, the top end defining an opening in the vessel, and the magnet housing defining a recess a magnet disposed within the recess and a resilient cover positioned over the magnet housing, the resilient cover providing a coefficient of friction between the resilient cover and the surface to maintain a position of the vessel on the surface.
