If, like me, it takes you a huge amount of time to get yourself over the doorstep each morning, we may have found the answer.

Whether it's hair straightener paranoia or doing the dash-back-for-your-lunch-before-your-train-leaves dance slowing you down each morning, these novelty little numbers with firm but fair reminders should help you out.

So, take a look below and tell us - honestly! - which doormat do you need in your life? You can't all pick ‘pants, keys, dignity'. Sorry.
