A foot in the door...
There’s nothing more annoying than a door banging shut and now that the weather is improving (well, hopefully!) and you have the windows at home open, unintentional door banging is likely to occur more often.
A door stop is the ideal way of helping prevent doors from banging and if you’re looking for something a bit quirky and unusual to prop your doors open, then how about this funky stiletto shoe?
Available in a choice of red or black, the shoe door stop is made out of rubber, so it’s super durable for its door stopping activities.
The stiletto door stops are available from Totally Funky.
