Bilbo hung a sign on his gate that read NO ADMITTANCE EXCEPT ON PARTY BUSINESS, and half of Middle-earth ignored it immediately. We fixed the loophole. This one says NO ADMITTANCE EXCEPT OF PUPPY BUSINESS — the one amendment Tolkien scholars and dog people have ever agreed on. Some visitors are welcome. Most are not. The dog decides which is which.
It comes the way a proper hobbit hole should: in coir, our natural-fiber option, into 8 sizes, from a cozy welcome mat up to a full second-breakfast-sized entry mat for a wide front door. Keep it under cover; coir isn't a fan of open sky any more than a hobbit is of adventure. Want a front door mat that can take actual weather, Shire or otherwise? Grab the all-weather recycled rubber version instead — hose it off, leave it in rain, sun, or dwarvish boot traffic, no complaints. Either one makes a genuinely great gift for the Tolkien-and-dog person in your life, who — statistically — is you.
Get the damn mat, put it by the door, and let the sign do the vetting. Not sure which size fits your particular Bag End? Ask Perogi, our chatbot assistant (a very good pug, and a far better gatekeeper than any dwarf), or check How Do I Choose a Doormat?
Absolutely perfect! I love it, thank you so much. It’s great quality and looks more perfect in person :)
