My <b>poly mat</b> arrived this week from the UK, and for <b>£28 (Dh162)</b> , I'm really pleased with it. The colour really livens up the kitchen, and as something of a bird obsessive, I love the design. I bought it because as the owner of a dog who gets covered in wet sand most morning, I needed something durable and easy to clean but more attractive than a standard door mat. This is made of recycled plastic, so repels dirty paw prints and just needs a quick shake and wipe down, saving me from getting the vacuum out every five minutes. Big enough to use a yoga mag or a picnic rug on the beach or in the garden, it's also light enough that you can just roll it up and go. Available in <b>coral pink and canary yellow</b> (two of this spring's biggest colour trends), <b>purple and turquoise</b> , I got mine via my Aramex account (shipping costs were Dh41) but direct delivery here is also available.
