Best standard hangers according to redditors

Details and links:

Just sent a box of 100 wire hangers to OH Gov Mike DeWine. This was a campaign that comes from back when Kasich was in office, and the bill was on his desk. He vetoed it. Unfortunately this time the bill is already signed, but DeWine still needs a dose of reality.

The hangers were $21.95 on Amazon.

I wiped out his address so I don’t get banned for doxxing, even though it’s publicly available. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just search “Governor Mike DeWine office address” - it’s on the contact page at the bottom. Be sure to mark it as a gift so you can tell him how you feel! Sadly there’s a character limit - damn you, Amazon!

My gift message:

> Governor, I can’t safely carry to term due to a mental condition. Thanks for signing my death warrant, along with the rest of your vulnerable female constituents. Here’s a gift of our only remaining option. With love, (name and zip)

Have at it, folks! Especially you, Ohio constituents. Make your voice heard!

College student here, used to shitty dorm closets: If you don't mind having to iron things at the change of seasons, I like to keep off-season clothes and things I don't wear much in my suitcase. The suitcase is just sitting there taking up space anyway, and by packing it well (rolling!! roll as much as you can!!! I only fold heavy knits and sweaters) you can fit a lot into a simple carry-on. Multi-pants hangers and multi-skirt hangers are really useful for maximizing closet space, but I personally don't like multi-shirt hangers and find them incredibly inconvenient. I keep all of my jackets on an over-the-door hanger like this and use the basket (mine only has one) to hold my clutch, spare wallet, dry umbrellas, and sunglasses. On the other side of the door I have a shoe organizer that can also hold scarves and gloves and such. Honestly, seeing what college students are doing could be really good inspo for you since we live in tiny spaces with almost no closet and find a way to make it work.

Get space saving hangers!! You can fit more clothes in a tiny closet.

Donate clothes you no longer wear.

Separate your Fall/winter from your spring/summer clothes. Put the clothes that are not part of the current season in a space saving bag and store them somewhere else - like under your bed. You are not using them right now, no need for them to be hanging up! :)

I just bought these. No more shoulder nipples.

DO IT. They're $8 on amazon

I sent some to Ohio's governor after he signed the heartbeat bill. There's talk of banning insurance companies from paying for abortions and birth control, so many more people in ohio will be receiving them

Sooo many things!

Frames for decorating tables

Photo booth props

Hangers for bridesmaid dresses

Shower thank you cards

Invisible ink pens to mark the back of rsvps for people who don't add their name

Silk bouquet ribbons

Parent gifts

Ring boxes

I just bought some bra hangers for exactly this reason! I don't wash them after every single use (unless I get a case of the under-boob sweats) but I want to air them out before putting them back in the drawer. Problem is, that last step never happens and then I wouldn't be able to find it right away when I wanted to wear it again. Plus my husband is a neater person than I am and got tired of all the bras laying all over every surface in the bedroom, lol. Now I can hang them up when I'm done so they air out and I can find them again!

At least in theory - I only got them this week so we'll see how long my diligence lasts!

This is not my original post, but I joined OP in sending some and now I am sharing!

Flocked hangers help a lot! Like these.

Depends on where you live and your income. If you're low income and in NYS you can get an abortion for free. I haven't done the legwork, but I feel it's safe to assume they don't run that deal in Texas.

Or you can get 100 abortions on Amazon for $21.94.

There should be enough extras for future 'oopsies' as well.

Sweaters tend to be heavier and will stretch or become mishapen, typically with a shoulder bump if they are hanged on a hanger through the neck hole (is there a proper term for that? Haha I'm going with neck hole). Here is an example of that happening

Hangers like this which are broader and keep the clothes in place are a tad bit better, since it is wide enough to accomodate the shoulders, but generally, you should avoid hanging sweaters.


Typically, yes, folding sweaters in a drawer is best because there is no specific part which is put under more pressure and will stretch. If you don't have a drawer or storage available, sweaters can be hanged llike this to prevent stretching.

Get one of these

Cut them off, and then get these.

They aren't free, but they can be pretty damn cheap.

Another good alternative is to hang dry them. I used to just put the hangers on the frame of the door, but then my grandma bought me a couple of these and I love them.

I'm not sure where she got them, but they look exactly like the ones sold on Amazon. I also found this rack and it looks great as well.

At my mother's house, she hangs them on a rack but she has more space than I do.

I find that there isn't much difference to hanging them this way for blouses and pants. I only lay my sweaters to dry.

My family has been drying our clothes this way for about 10 years and there is a HUGE difference in how long our clothes last.

Also a tip for amazon links: take

1. I prefer a pop-up hamper. It keeps your room looking cleaner. Pick one with long straps or a short, stout shape (laundry basket) that will be easy to carry to the laundry room.
   
2. I hang-dry some, not all, of my clothes. I'd suggest something like this instead, and use clip hangers for small items like socks and lingerie. If you're dead-set on hang-drying all of your clothes, a drying rack might be a good idea.
   
3. My shoes lived, and presently live, in a pile. Line them up best you can on the closet floor.
   
4. A small sewing kit to reattach buttons and mend popped seams is never a bad idea. That particular one is a little excessive, all you need is a few colors of thread, a few spare buttons, and needles.
   
   Absolutes:
   
   First, ask yourself: do I use this item in my everyday life at home? If the answer is no, you likely will not want or need it at school, either.
   
   Water kettle: A microwave would be a better value for the space than an electric kettle, just check with your roommate first. But if you drink a TON of tea, it may be worth it.
   
   Fabric steamer: You know yourself better than I do; I never had use for one though.
   
   Hair dryer: Drop the money on a microfiber hair turban instead - healthier for your hair and super effective.
   
   A good room-illuminating lamp is an absolute must to me, because the awful fluorescent lights in the dorms are sooooo painful on your eyes. Get one of the <$10 torchieres at Target or Walmart, that's all you need.
   
   If you have linoleum floors (a lot of the dorms on my campus did), you'll probably want either slippers or a small rug or both. Sinking your feet onto ice-cold linoleum first thing in the morning is awful.
   
   Bring any consumables you'll need in the first week - shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, snacks, and if you have a private bathroom, toilet paper and hand soap - with you. You don't want to stand an hour in line at CVS after a 6 hour drive because you don't have TP.
   
   A 6-in-1 screwdriver. This will save your bacon if you buy any furniture for your dorm and takes up very little room.

I recommend giving tiered hangers a shot -- they make them for [shirts] (http://www.amazon.com/Organize-All-0312W-B-Blouse-Tree/dp/B000IF4TCC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451318356&sr=8-1&keywords=tiered+hangers) and for [pants/skirts] (http://www.amazon.com/Tier-Trouser-Skirt-Hanger-Chrome/dp/B00F2NOE9I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1451318356&sr=8-2&keywords=tiered+hangers). I've never personally tried [this type of tiered hanger] (http://www.amazon.com/StorageManiac-Cascading-Hangers-Clothing-Organizer/dp/B00W983TF4/ref=pd_sbs_201_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51QrkP-2I4L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0HCR1DZ6N303M83PHY02), but it looks like it would be pretty functional.

Bought my buddies Banana racks to use with their headphones for Xmas, both seemed to like them. Got the special edition of DMC4 from one of them, the other is going to clean my headlights since he's broke and I'm lazy.

Good times all around.

utopia

even cheaper

Catt Butt

Velcro

Tie rack!!!


Thanks for the contest! Add-ons are so always the best items, aren't they???

IF I FITS I SITS

people sell these in case you don't want to learn to model.

edit: first amazon result

These are the hangers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YH4MYC/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_ISw-tb0X6FJVE

The diy instructions say to drill a small hole in the hanger, fill it with super glue, and then stick the ends of the wire in. I'm hoping it's as easy as it sounds... Fingers crossed!!

bit more expensive but amazon gotchu link

Well if your girlfriend does get pregnant this will help

some of my clothes rules:

basic color pallet is a scarlet red, a deep sunny yellow, dark blue, forest green, white, black and khaki, even pin stripe oxfords are in this pallet. So anything i buy has to go with stuff i already have.

If i have 4 of something like polo shirts or short sleeved shirts, then i don't buy another until one of them is worn out. which does happen, mostly from holes and stains from work. If i destroy a Blue Polo, i go to the thrift store and find another, if they don't have one, i don't buy something else.

Everything i own hangs in the closet, period. If the closet is too tight to 'see' everything easily, something gets donated. I am always shocked to see folks who have so much clothing that they have piles or it covers the floor.

I am moving from plastic hangers to wooden ones - the plastic ones bend and put bumps in the shoulders......if you search amazon you can get good prices, less than a dollar a hanger for hardwood.

My new rule, is that if it is NOT worth putting on a wooden hanger, it gets donated or thrown. The clothes i wear should be quality, not junk - and it should be taken care of appropriately. No stains, tears, misisng buttons etc..if its not worth caring for, why would i wear it?

If it doesn't fit it gets donated, no 'skinny' clothes for when i get skinny. When i get skinny, i will buy replacement clothes.

Something like this

For purses/bags, I use an over-the-door hanger like this. It gets a little crowded but easy to find my bags.

For scarves, I use a scarf hanger, which you could also use for leggings/tights as well. I keep my scarf hanger in my coat closet by the front door in the wintertime. I keep a basket for gloves and hats too, in my regular closet. Is your wicker basket lined? I can imagine threads getting caught and pulled!

For tank tops that I rarely wear (mainly for layering under sweaters), I use a tiered hanger. I suspect this could work for many types of shorter tops!

IKEA has kid-sized hangers. But what I think is best are the flat, fuzzy hangers like this. If you didn't want to buy them all at once, you can find them at Target/Walmart/wherever in smaller, cheaper bundles. I've even gotten some from the dollar store before, though they're not quite as strong as the ones I have from Target.

I need hangers cause I'm an idiot and don't have enough with me to even fill up part of the closet. I also need a rice cooker cause food? And this pad thing so that I can work out in my apartment and so that when my boyfriend visits he doesn't sleep on the bare floor. XD I guess they link with apartmenty stuff, but in totally different rooms. XD And to infinity and beyond!

hangers!! i never have enough hangers! or maybe i just have to many cloths :o 317 cuz thats prob about how many hangers i need :)

For hangers, I really like these. Super thin and my clothes don't slip off.

Pretty sure it still works post-natal

Has anyone tried these hangers? I ordered a set today.

NAHANCO SHKLGRS Raw Steel Jeans Hook, 7" (Pack of 12) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MK00D5U

I love it, I can usually run 4 USBs of smaller power sizes at once (such as my keyboard and mouse, and my phone charger). I got it on Amazon, here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RJTJTGN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The best thing about it is if I don't want to overload anything but also don't want to go through the trouble of unplugging stuff and plugging in others, I can just click the button on top to turn on/off that specific plug :)

There's a really awesome inflatable moose head I've always found success with: here

There are some taxidermy shops in the outer suburbs (J&P Taxidermy in Manassas comes to mind), but it's not the kind of business where you can walk in and they've got a few of everything on the shelf.

Most taxidermy is custom work, especially for rarer trophy animals. Shops will generally have a few items for sale, but they're going to be expensive-- most of the mounted animals you see in a taxidermy shop are for display purposes, to show off what the place can do for hunters after they've killed something impressive. Not saying they wouldn't sell the display pieces if you made a good enough offer, but they wouldn't be cheap.

If you want to find affordable taxidermy pieces, look at estate sales. It's common for the younger generation in a family to really not want grandpa's hunting trophy collection, and not know much about the potential value of the pieces.

Two other cautionary notes:

• Stuffed/mounted animals require periodic maintenance, or they'll start to smell.
  
  
• Mounted heads can be heavy. Don't try to hang one on a regular picture hook. Be careful if you try to hang one in a rental apartment.
  
  On the other hand, novelty inflatable moose heads are cheap and lightweight. Grin.
  
  

One of [these!] (http://www.amazon.com/DCI-Inflatable-Moose-Head-Hangers/dp/B000ODAIHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418070051&sr=8-1&keywords=inflatable+animal+trophy)

I like the velvet hangers since they prevent your clothes from slipping and stretching.

These?

I don't dry clean, could you show a picture of what you mean?

Febreeze is your friend.
They also sell these

Or, here

This is the exact one....

ok... So I mean, yea, this would work right

Serves the same purpose but better, no sliding rings, doesn't look like shit.

BTW, I dont know if you realize this, the top part of a clothes hanger is actually perfect for hanging ties around, I think the intended design was to have one dress shirt and one tie around the same hanger.
