Personalized Doormat Gift Guide

A personalized doormat makes a lasting gift for a housewarming, wedding, anniversary or holiday. For most homes, pick a family-name or monogram coir mat in 22" x 36". Put the family's last name or initial on it, and order about three weeks ahead, plus shipping time, because each mat is made to order.

Shipping is free on all orders within the contiguous United States, including personalized and commercial orders; orders to Alaska, Hawaii or outside the US are not eligible.

Tips for getting it right

  • Double-check the spelling. Personalized mats are made to order and aren't returnable unless they arrive damaged, defective or incorrect.
  • Not sure of the name? A single initial is the safest choice.
  • Character limits vary by design. Check the product page before you type a long name.
  • Covered porches suit coir best; for an exposed snowy entry, see our winter entrance mat guide.
  • Ordering for a holiday? Personalized and monogrammed mats are made to order and usually need one to two extra weeks on top of our standard 3 to 5 business days before they ship. Order early in November and December.
