It seems when I like a product I take it to the extreme. I just can’t help myself. The 3M Command Adhesive Hook is that good and that fun. The best part about them is that they aren’t permanent so I don’t have to hesitate to put them up. I can put them up whenever I’m needing a little fix and then if I don’t like it or I get bored with it well I can just change my mind. Just like that. No fuss, no muss. I’ve never had one ruin the paint on my wall yet.
I know I’ve mentioned my adoration of this product before but this time I want to show you just how much I love them. No door is safe in this “house of freak”, they all get adorned with these beautiful little hooks eventually.
Take a look for yourself:
The back of my office door conveniently hides my bag fixation.
The back of my daughter’s bedroom door holds her robe and hoody.
In my daughter’s closet. She has her own bag fixation. It runs in the family what can I say and she even made the middle one all by herself!
Towels behind the bathroom door.
Behind my little guy’s door.
On the side of my stove.
On the back of the door into my dining room/kitchen area are where my aprons conveniently hang. This door normally stays open so the aprons are usually hidden. I adore aprons and wear them all the time. The red one on top there is my new Flirty Everyday Housewife Apron from Etsy, so pretty!
I also use these hooks around the inside of my front windows at Christmas time to hang Christmas lights. Really, there are so many uses, the possibilities are endless especially since there are so many sizes and types.
You want to know what else just thrills me to no end, to know I’m not alone. Oh no I’m not. Jessica from Lackadaisical Motivation also posted about her love of these hooks here. L.O.V.E. Love it! She’s got some great ideas for them. This freak loves to have buddy freaks.
So how about you, where are you using 3M hooks? And if you aren’t, gulp, I hope this entices you to the other side :)

We don’t get these in South Africa – after you posted the last time, I emailed them – Absolutely NO reply. Terrible, isn’t it?
Esp since I LOVE hooks and I’m forced to use the normal ones that leave their white gunk behind when you remove them.
Great idea. I’ll be buying some of these. I remember using them years ago (not necessarily 3M brand,) but having them fall off. I’ll have to try again.
My daughter is being tube fed after heart surgery, and we use the 3m hooks to hold her feeding bag set after washing – nothing else was high enough and its just not possible to screw a hook in. The heavy duty ones can hold a 500 ml kangaroo bag high enough to gravity drip into the sink, and then high enough to let ALL the last drops drain onto a towel without touching the floor.
Since the bags are hideously expensive, washing them is super – I can get them clean enough to use one every 5 days instead of 1 a day!
( They also hold my dishtowels, loofah in the shower, kids coats, all my slings and mei tais… )
Love it! I use them for hanging frames on the wall too (the strips, not the hooks).
OMG, I love these little hooks. Especially around the holidays. Our mantle is taken up by the mounted flat screen TV, so I used them to hang the stockings around the sides of the fireplace. I used one of the small ones with the hinged hook to hang a mistletoe ball from the entrance archway. :-D And this afternoon, some larger ones will be going up on the brick around our front windows for some pretty icicle lights.
I swear, the adhesive sticks on any surface and will leave nary a mark when removed. It’s like it was never there. These are perfect for any household, but even more so for apartment dwellers who don’t want to pay a premium for putting holes in the walls.
I hung my little nephew from one.. and that was just the small hook! I intend to invest in more products similar! Thank you 3M!
I love the command hooks that are waterproof. I bought a really cute Boon frog bath toy holder but the sticky strips that held it in place stopped working within a few days. The waterproof command hook has been in place for 2 years now and the toy holder is full of toys. Love it.
So I realized I might be a *closet buddy freak* for you when I noticed how excited I get when I see updates to your blog on the side of my blog. I am a sucker for any organization tips and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE any post you do! We just moved into a new house which is not glamorous but it’s my *dream* house so I am determined to keep it looking nice and organized. I can’t wait to pick me up some of these 3M hooks. One problem I am excited to use this as a solution for is the downstairs (main bathroom) where the towel hook is too high for my 3 and 5 yr olds so the towel ends up laying on the floor half the time since it’s a pedestal sink with no room for a towel. I will now be hanging an easier to reach towel on the back of the door with one of these. Oooh the other possibilities are endless. Thanks for the org excitement for my day!! Keep on posting!!
Hello fellow Canadian Apron Lover. Was reading your post about utilizing behind the door space (which I currently don’t do). I see you love aprons so I wanted to let you know that Brianna http://www.hearthmanagement.com/2009/03/dress-for-success-and-giveaway-its-real.html
has a super apron giveaway and today is the last day!
I’ll be having one in April too. I had planned mine for this week but thought since Brianna had one going on – I’d wait!
:)
