Door bells are so 20th century! If you want to really announce your presence today, you could be saving a wee bit of electricity and pounding on someone's door with a Stone Door Knocker ($72). This unique door knocker is handmade in Sonoma County, California by the design team of Nerio Festa and Heidi Hummler and features a one-of-a-kind natural river rock on a stainless steel back plate. Great for a bathroom door or office cubicle entrance as well. (via Michael Kiely)
