Dorms, apartments, houses — I’ve seen doormats at them all. They greet our friends, catch our stuff, and clean our shoes — but it’s damn hard to find a good one. I’ve collected this lot of sarcastic, handmade, and just plain weird doormats to fill the needs of Offbeat Homies.
Have to kick off the list with my own doormat!
Got any doormats on your wishlist? Share those links!
I have one on my wedding registry that says “Nice Underwear.” I think it’s from uncommongoods.com
I have one that reads My Dog is not a Biter in bold and the in smaller letters, but he is a humper, probably one of my favorites, and I change mine out often. So often in fact that my passion became a website, http://everythingdoormats.com.
I have the “There’s No Place Like Home” one from ThinkGeek. It definitely invites comments from people who visit. Most people have no idea what it is even when I explain it.
i have *always* wanted this one that just says “Hi. I’m Mat.” – http://www.target.com/Hi-Im-Mat-Doormat/dp/B00020O57M
thanks to this post, perhaps i’ll just stencil one myself!
I’m all for this one. “Mind The Gap”

we’ve got one that says ‘not you again’
gets a laugh from everyone that comes over, we found it in a hipster-ish florist (in Western Australia..where I live 🙂
For my birthday a couple years ago my hubby gave me the binary welcome mat from thinkgeek http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/69e3.
I coveted it for years so it was a pretty great gift.
That nautical rope mat has been on my wishlist for freakin evarrrr!
I want it so much!
This is one of those “only funny if it’s not applicable” ones
“Mess with us and you mess with the whole trailer park!”

My partner wants a mat that says “Don’t blink.” in red letters, he also wants these on our towels. I blame it on SCP : Containment Breach.
Yay DamnGoodDoormats, from Baltimore! My job is on their UPS route so some afternoons I get to see a stack of doormats heading to their new homes. We have the “No admittance except on party business” at our house.
These doormats are cool, especially ‘Keys, Wallet, Phone’ – love it 🙂
We’ve got some coming soon! https://www.personalisedgifthouse.co.uk
