In the colour of the moment, dark purple, this fabric is decorated with rice bowls, chopstick and other kitchen items, so it will be no surprise that it came all the way from Japan. The design makes it ideal for the kitchen of course, but it's so lovely it would be at home anywhere in the house.

Martha's doorstops all come flatpacked, with a velcro opening on the bottom so that you can fill them yourself. This cuts down on transport costs and packaging, making them an ideal gift to post!

And because you can remove the filling you can easily wash your doorstop once it's been kicked around and slobbered on by pets.

Worried about spillage? Don't be! The weight of the filling keeps the velcro firmly together until you decide to pull it apart, and all the seams are overlocked with four threads for strength.
