Whale Friendly Mats From The Briny Deep
One of my new favorite sites to visit is Daily Grommet. The site was created by a small group of savvy entrepreneurs who recognized there was a missing link between inventive worthwhile product and the buying public. They positioned Daily Grommet as the vehicle by which small product-based companies can reach their market. But more than just being a selling tool for more “stuff”, Grommet evaluates both the products and the companies behind them for their high standards of customer service, social awareness and environmental responsibility.
My most recent purchase is currently laying outside my front door- ready to have shoes dragged across it.
The above tag comes from Custom Cordage explaining the story behind their reclaimed fishing rope doormats. Watch the below video for a little insight into how the doormats come about and how the Daily Grommet does their thing.








Hi Jeanne, I’m so happy that you came by The First Few. The research and discovery of new things are what I enjoy most of what I do- I really look forward to sharing what I find through your “Ideas” page. You have created such a unique and welcoming environment on Daily Grommet! Thank you very much for bringing such great products (and a healthy attitude) to the web. And yes, I love the mats- I only wish I had a few more entrances to my house that require a doormat!
Cheers,
Andrew
Andrew – so glad you found Daily Grommet. I hope you enjoy your Custom Cordage doormat as much as we do.

We depend on people like you to help us discover interesting products like this one from all around the world; and, of course, you’ll be part of the story, introduced as our “finder” (you can submit your product ideas right here on our site: http://www.dailygrommet.com/pages/idea.
