An article holder ( 102 ) with a notification mechanism is provided for people to hang personal articles. Security alerts and/or incoming call alerts can be provided to a user of the article holder ( 102 ). The article holder includes a base ( 106 ) that couples to a surface and a hanger ( 104 ) that holds articles. The article holder also includes a pressure switch ( 110 ) that couples to the base, the pressure switch switching in response to an article being hung on or removed from the hanger. Further, the article holder includes electronic circuitry ( 112 ) to detect when the pressure on the hanger changes, which transmits an instant alert in response. The article holder can include additional circuitry ( 114 ) that operates in conjunction with a mobile device ( 302 ) to alert a user to an incoming call.
