“Home is where someone runs to greet you” is just what you need to see when you arrive home after a rough day. This doormat is made from natural coir. That material — the fiber of a coconut husk — grabs debris off of shoes yet hides it equally well. The PVC backing helps it stay in place.

The solution is this book from the host of “Cat Chat” on Martha Stewart Living Radio. It translates common scenarios and suggests tips for responding to each.
Imagine This Company ‘I Love My Crazy Dog’ Magnet ($3.99; chewy.com)

Made of low-maintenance, antibacterial bamboo, this modern, adorable server for cheese or charcuterie will bring a smile to your kitty-loving giftee. It’s been mindfully made too, with food-safe paint and a handy rope “tail” for hanging.
