iChime

Doorbells typically sing the same sad song, which is why the iChime is for you. It includes 60 recordings, from holiday carols to a barking dog, but the real genius comes from the six customizable spaces for tracks from your PC, iPod or your own musical creations that are recorded using the built-in microphone. It’s only a two-wire hook-up on your door bell and comes in lit or unlit versions.

Grab the attachable front door speaker for $25 and truly scare kids at Halloween with your shower ballad version of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.”

iChime sells for $85 at iChime.com.
