3M Command Brand Giveaway! (closed)

This giveaway is now closed.  The winner is #362 Shana!!

Last week I mentioned that I have a love affair with the 3M Command Brand line of products.  I have been using their hooks and picture hanging strips for years and years and my jaw always hits the floor when I hear someone say they’ve never used them.  Umm what?   Seriously they are amazing.  I use them everywhere in my home because they aren’t permanent and I can change my mind whenever I want to (which happens often).  I have never once had one ruin a wall when removing it.  I have found those that have had problems didn’t follow the instructions properly so it’s important to use the right hook weight for the job.

Here are a few posts I’ve done using Command hooks and strips:

In the garage:

To organize jewelry:

To stabilize frames:

On the back of doors:

On windows:

To hang a calendar on a stainless steel fridge:

To label baskets:

To hang chore charts:

I absolutely adore the Picture Hanging Strips and have used them to hang almost every single picture in my home.

And 3M now has an entire line of clear hooks with clear adhesive strips which is perfect for anywhere you really don’t want a big white hook showing.   The clear hooks they use to have in the past still came with a white adhesive backing that would stick out like a sore thumb and it was a big pet peeve of mine.  Now the whole thing is clear which is so awesome and exciting.

They come in all sizes and are especially perfect for hanging holiday decorations. You can get an idea of what I mean in this video here except just imagine the colored hooks now clear.  Sweet!

Gosh I love these products!!  So much versatility, it’s crazy!

An example of how I’ve used the clear hooks in my own home include on my son’s window to hang his dream catcher:

And in my vehicle to hang my garbage bag (you have a garbage bag in your car right???):

Giveaway:

I’m so excited that 3M wants to giveaway a Command Clear prize package to one of my readers valued at $50.00!!  That’s $50 of pure organizing bliss!  It will include an assortment of 3M products for you to go crazy organizing your home.  Believe me you’ll become addicted to the fun of it all and won’t be able to stop 🙂

To enter simply leave a comment on this post, telling me if you are a 3M virgin or a 3M junkie like I am, prior to September 20th at 2:00 pm PST.  Open to everyone and winner will be selected at random from the comments left.

  1. I’m a semi 3M virgin…I haven’t gone all the way. Used a couple of time and have a couple on standby!

  2. I am a 3M virgin. I have been looking at some lately though, namely to hang my girls jackets up on their level…and raise them every few years.

  3. I had tried them on these textured walls in my daughters room but they didn’t work on the textured wall….so I have never really tried them other than that…but I am very interested in using these for Christmas decorating and then who knows…I like looking at the ideas on the doors and stuff…most of my walls are textured so this definitly gives me many more options seeing all the great pics!

  4. I first used them in 2004 at work to hang Christmas decorations and I’ve been hooked (haha) since! I use them in our motorhome to hang keys, towels and kitchen utensils. I use them in our home for calendars and for decorating during the holidays. They have never ruined anything I’ve attached them too (including wall paper) and they are a cinch to put up and take down!

    1. Hey – Did they work on Wallpaper? As I want to use them on wallpaper but on the command website it says not to. I have a wallpaper with a shimmery finish and don’t want to ruin it if I need to take the sticky thing off!

  5. I love the 3M Command products…especially the picture hanging strips! I’m very excited to see the all clear hooks. I have my coupons printed!

  6. I’ve tried them once, and will definitely be hanging all of my pictures by 3M Command products once I move in a few weeks!

  7. I am SUCH a 3M command junkie. I love them and have done posts on them as well. I love the velcro strips for keeping frames in place (I use a piece at the bottom of every picture in my house, no more straightening them after I dust the frames!!)

    Here is where I use them most – in my kitchen: http://www.ordinarymom.ca/create/index.php/2012/08/a-neat-tip-off-the-floor/

    I would love love love to win a prize package. I am so excited about the clear strips. I have used the clear hooks for years but always hated when the white tapes would show.

    🙂

  8. I have used them once but thought about buying them several more times. (I don’t know why I haven’t!) I’d love to try them in more places. Thanks for the chance to win!

  9. I am somewhere between the 2- started using them but don’t have them everywhere quite yet…. Thanks for the giveaway!!!

  10. I am a 3M junkie!!!! DH’s mom used to work at 3M in the 40s, when the ladies were working in support of the war effort. She loved it there.

  11. I have 2 kids in college dorm rooms….we are all 3M junkies! The dorm dwellers out of small space necessity, but I’m addicted because I have “commitment issues” with wall art. I change my mind…alot!

  12. 3M junkie here! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their products. I have bought some of new clear sets and feel they don’t work as strong as the white strips. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue?

  13. 3m Junkie, I have used them everywhere in my house. My closet, kids closet, kitchen, entryway, bath tub. For some reason I’ve never thought about putting them in the car thought, good idea!
    Recently used them to hang pictures, so great! I love hearing that little ‘click’ so I know my pictures are safe on the wall.

  14. I am in the “love affair” category with 3M products!!!! Just yesterday was lamenting that these were not in existence when I lived in my dorm (many unspecified years ago!).

  15. I’m with you – I totally LOVE 3M. Thanks for the great opportunity to win and thanks for all of your great ideas and inspiration – I always look forward to reading your blog!

  16. I have never tried them, but it’s the word on the street.
    Oh, shoot there I go again reciting Murray from SS.

    Please get me started!

  17. I love 3M hooks! My daughter can hang stuff in her room and then change her mind without having to patch any holes!

  18. I <3 3M, actually their headquarted in the town next to me! I wish they had a retail store on site, but oh well! 😀

  19. I am a virgin to 3M. We are starting to use 3M organizational supplies. Wish I could get a coupon or win the prize.

    1. I am in LOVE with thepicture hanging strips. We use them on everything hanging that our toddler can reach and they are amazing!!

  20. I’m in between – have used them quite a few times but haven’t hit junkie status. But I will if I win!!! 🙂

    Thanks for the chance!! 🙂

  21. I use one on the kitchen cabinet to hang my recipe cards – so I can hang it at eye level and out of the gunk! I love 3M Command and use them quite often as I can find them on sale.

  22. 3M junkie..unfortunately they won’t stick to my walls after I paint them no matter how long I let the paint sit (2yrs for some walls). Not sure what the problem is as they stick before I paint!

  23. I am a complete and total Command junkie – I almost have palpitations when I find new hooks in the stores. I use them everywhere! I couldn’t hang my Christmas decorations without them – nor my Halloween decorations either. Nothing thrilled me more than the first time I found them in stores many years ago!

  24. Clients joke that I recommend 3M Command-brand products so often that I should really own stock in the company. (Hey, I should stick a Post-It® up to remind me to do exactly that!) My favorite products are the Command hooks, because there are so many different styles and fashions (and not just utilitarian ones), but they all live up to the promise of ease-of-use without damage to surfaces.

  25. I have to admit that I have not used the command products either. I would love to try them – so many neat ideas of ways to use them. Thanks for the opportunity

  26. Junkie… we use them to hang all of our pictures around the house… we have paneling so the 3m products are great… we also use them to hang colored lights and other decorations for the holidays

  27. Total newby here, I’d love to try them on my picture frames. I have so many that need to be hung and keep putting it off. It would be so easy to just use these 3m strips and get this job DONE. 🙂

  28. I love Command hooks, though I have found I need to be choosy about which ones I use for which purpose – they have been known to break off the wall when we (the kids) hang something too heavy (backpacks) on them! But they are great and easy to move around!!!

  29. I’m a total 3M junkie! I love their products. We used them all over our old house. And now that our new home is a rental, I find them even more of a must have, especially for hanging pictures. I’m slowly spending a fortune on them, but in the long run it is so worth it.

  30. I love them!!!!!!!! I use them for hanging pictures mostly because I’m not so good with the measuring/nailing thing. :<)

  31. I keep buying them, and not using them, so they’re collecting in a drawer. This may be just the incentive I need to put them to use.

  32. I think I inhabit the middle of the spectrum you’ve described! I would like to get a
    pack of peg hooks so I can hang clipboards.

  33. I really like what I’ve seen of Command strips so far. I’ve had a couple of hiccups (had one hook fall off the strip on a hot night), but they are generally quite handy and strong. The most useful one I’ve got is an extra-strong hook in the kitchen – it’s rated for 7.5 lbs. but is holding up my cast iron frying pan – which has to be at least 10 pounds! The only drawback I find with them is that they cost too much for me to use as much as I’d like. 😉

  34. Total 3M virgin here…just moved into an apartment after living in a house for over 7 years and have lots of pictures to hang too. And to top it off, my birthday is Tuesday, my 50th at that. 🙂 I soooo would love to win this giveaway!

  35. love, love, love my 3M Command hooks! Use them in closet doors, for my Christmas stockings and garlands, for wall hangings. Never thought about the window, great idea!

  36. I used the hooks to hang letter spelling oitsdoe my daughters name above her crib–used.them to eliminate putting all kinds of holes in the wall since the room has to grow with my daighrer–and they are wonderful!!

  37. I’m neither a virgin nor a junkie. I’ve used them before while working at a craft store when we needed to hang decorations, but I’ve never actually bought them for myself. However that’s probably going to change this weekend since I found out they have little clips to help arrange cords. Cord organization for our computers will be our project this weekend! Would love to win some free ones though!

  38. Love 3M products, but I disliked the white command hooks. I have no white walls in my house and the white on a colored wall made the hook stand out. But with the clear hooks, I might get carried away. You just never know. Thanks for the giveaway, Laura!

  39. I am a 3M virgin. I have not used them before but I think I am in real need. My daughter and I have things we really want hung up and haven’t done it yet. Maybe this will be the kicker and help us unCLUTTER!?

  40. I’ve not tried these hangers. I’m sorry to say I’m still putting holes in my walls! Would enjoy giving 3M a try.

  41. I recently just bought a 3M Command product when I read your blog about your Martha Stewart products from Staples and have absolutely fell in love!!! I really want to try more of their products around the house, they are just so versatile!! Thank you so much for introducing it to me, you are my saviour!! 🙂

  42. I haven’t been converted to a junkie yet, but definitely would love to try these, especially to hang pictures on the wall!

  43. A 3M Command virgin. These products really look amazing. I am going to go and purchase some today. I hope they have them here in Australia

  44. I am an absolute junkie…have them everywhere and even have some extras on hand in case I find a spot in my house that needs more!!

  45. I use a lot of 3-m command hooks — I hang quilts on the wall with two hooks supporting a dowel that runs through a sleeve on the back of the quilt. I also use them a lot with adaptations we make to my son’s wheelchair. They’re so useful in many settings — I keep a variety in my cart at Amazon, and if I need to add just a few dollars to an order to get free shipping, I add to my stash.

  46. I am a 3M virgin, I love to organize and would love the opportunity to try out their products…the wheels in my head are spinning, thinking about all the possibilities!

  47. I use them as much as I can. They are great in the shower to hang washrags on and I use them for towels as well. Sooooo many uses! I’d buy a ton if I had the income to do so! Love to read the many uses others use them for. 🙂

  48. I’m just getting started with 3M Command Hooks. I’ve used them for Christmas decorating before, but would love to use them all over the house all year!

  49. I have used them a couple times but not recently. That makes me a newbie I guess.

  50. well I’m kind of ashamed to say …nope, never tried them before. Love how you attached the trash bag in the car. I have one hanging off the lighter and it bugs me so I’m gonna give it a go!

  51. Well, I’ve used little plastic hooks before and loved them, but I’m ashamed to say mine were probably a cheap brand, not 3M. 🙂

  52. Major 3M junkie! Just moved out of a house and into an apartment… Love that there will be no holes to patch!

  53. I love their products but boy did you think of some new ways to use them! I LOVE the idea of holding up a trash bag in a car and using them on the windows for decorations! Both of my kids have sun catchers in their rooms that had to be taken down because the suction cup that came with them kept falling off. Now I know how to get them to stay! Great use of a great product!

  54. Love command hooks! I use them to hang my kids backpacks and coats. They work perfectly! I would love to try more!

  55. I’m just like you, Laura, I have 3M hooks everywhere! They’re on the back closet walls in everyone’s closet, holding belts, purses, backpacks, you name it. They’re in between cabinets and the wall, holding aprons, superhero capes, and more. They’re in the basement for paintbrushes, toys with straps, our dress-up corner, and the kids have the clear picture hanging hooks in their rooms so they can change out their art whenever the mood strikes. My girls have a hook on their door with a sign saying “No Boys (except for brother).” And he has the opposite sign on his door. We love 3M!

  56. I love 3M stuff…first started at work where a corner of my office had a steel column that intruded from one of the corners. The strips were perfect to put plaques on.

  57. I love 3m and I am a complete junkie! I have used the hooks all over my houseand the animal shelter I work at, the organizers to hold everything from my glasses (attached to the side of my bedside table so my cat doesn’t mess with them) to my spices (inside my cabinet doors), the picture hangers (which are great because I can put up pictures and live with them for a while and decide if I like the placement before hubby has to make a hole in the wall for a permanent placement), the cord organizers, the velcro strips (for putting decorative trays on the wall and remotes for light switches).. I could go on ..and on. That is awesome that they now have clear strips (that was one thing that always bothered me)

  58. Absolute 3M JUNKIE here!! Love all of their products and like yourself, I use their hooks to hang tons of different things and the strips have been holding up my pictures for years. LOVE 3M!

  59. Love 3M stuff and so want to try the hooks. I have always wondered if they really stick with no damage and actually hold stuff.

  60. Total junkie!! I use it for my pictures and it’s a main staple in my kids landing area!! Love how I can change my mind over and over and not have holes to fill!

  61. I have used some 3M products in the past but you have given me so many great ideas that I’m gonna have to get more! I especially love the trash bag in the car idea! I always have a trash bag, but never thought of hanging it! Also, my daughters are always painting suncatchers and those cheap little hooks that come with the kits are always falling. Command hooks would be a much better option! Thanks so much!

  62. We hung a white board up in the spring with 3M products, but I’ve never moved it to see how well they can be taken off. I’ve heard so many great things about them. These are such a great idea for this house-renting family.

  63. My daughter is trying to convert me…I have used them very little because my husband sells nails and such other items. I don’t do that shopping.

  64. I love the 3M command products! We just moved in to a new house and I’m not sure I know where.I want to hang things. This would be perfect for trying out spots!

  65. I actually don’t think I remember ever using any of these products yet…I will have to pick some up next time I go to the store.

  66. I am starting to love them. We recently moved with hubby’s job & are renting a house until we find one we would like to buy. So I am paranoid about marks on walls & stuff. A package of 3M products would be ideal!

  67. When we built our house we lived in an apartment for 9 months. I knew it was temporary and didn’t want to put any nails on the walls. I used 3M hooks for my kids backpacks right inside the front door and they were great. I have them all over my house holding up all different things. We just got a new car/suv and it didn’t have a space between the 2 front seats for a trash can (I have a small trash can in my van). Thanks for posting your picture of how you hang a trash bag in your car. That’s where its going. I LOVE IT!!!!

  68. I am a 3M virgin, i actually have one in my desk drawer but it didn’t work for the purpose i was originally going to use it for. The hole was too small for the hook end to fit through, but you have given me some great suggestions on what i can use them for. Thanks

  69. It’s sad to say but I guess I’m a 3M virgin. I have wanted to try and get organized…but I’m not sure where to put things.

  70. I have never used them, my twin sister raves over them. Because of your article I just put them on my shopping list, thanks.

  71. JUNKIE….we are a military family and professional renters. Just moved from a 1929 home with plaster walls and 3M saved my sanity.

    Haven’t seen the clear ones – fingers crossed I’ll win.

    They need to come up with some (hope they read this) that work on house siding so I can hang things and not mess up the siding.

    LOVE the garbage bag in the car idea!

  72. Not a junkie, but I have used them and like them. My daughter went away to college this year, and I will be sending her a variety of Command products since she can’t put holes in the dorm walls.

  73. I love these! In fact I just bought some the other day for labeling in a classroom. I discovered them when I needed to hang Christmas stockings on my freshly painted mantle. Perfect answer.

  74. I’ve never used the 3M products, but my college-age son recently introduced me to them when he used them to organize all his electronics cords on his desk. Very cool! Would love to give them a try!

  75. I am not a “Junkie”. Yet. I have used them and do LOVE them! NEVER thought about using in my car as a “trash bag holder!” *slap head* Off to use a coupon to ADD it now!!!
    Thanks for the chance!!

  76. I’m kind of in between. I’ve used them to hang wreaths and loved how they worked, but I never realized they had so many other products!

  77. Virgin. {blush}. I will stare at the display and just can’t decide what to try first, so I leave empty handed. Would love to have someone just send me some, then all I have to do is decide WHERE to use them!

  78. I love the 3M hooks! We’ve been renting for several years, and have used them for extra storage to hang things, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.

  79. I LOVE these but usually look for them on sale. Would 3M consider reducing the price, I’m sure they would make up the difference in VOLUME! I would buy LOTS more if they weren’t so expensive, I watch for sales/clearance to get most of mine so I would LOVE to win this!!!

  80. We use them to hang hair dryer and curling irons near but out of the way in the bathroom. Love them because we can hang them on the cabinet but not make holes.

  81. I am a 3M virgin. I have three young children and after seeing everything you use them for on your post, I need to try these!!!! Oh, the possiblities.

  82. I am a 3M Command Strip virgin, mostly because I had no idea how well they worked or all the ways in which they could be used. Hope I win some of these- They would most defintely be put to use!
    Thank you for posting examples of uses- They definitely take techniques for organizing and display to the next level- without damaging surfaces.

  83. I’m absolutely a junkie! As a student living in an apartment that doesn’t let me do anything permanent to the walls, command hooks/strips/etc have saved me from beige wall boring-ness!

  84. I am just beginning to realize the vast number of reason to use the 3m Command Hooks. After reading your post with wonderful ideas, I am sitting here on the computer and typing up my list of where and how I can use the product. Yhaks for this great post and the opportunity to enter the contest.

    Good luck to everyone!

  85. I am a Command hook virgin but especially after reading your many uses and those great clear hooks, I could easily see myself as a junkie! Guess I’ll have to try them even if I don’t win the free ones.

  86. I am an unabashed 3M Command virgin. I’d love to opportunity to become a junkie by getting to try some of these products. My mouth dropped open when I saw the calendar on the fridge. I thought, Wow — can you really do that? Amazing! Thanks for this opportunity!

  87. I am such a VIRGIN, when it comes to 3M’s command brand. But, I now see that the possibilities are ENDLESS!! I will definitely print the coupons and start using these products combined to your wonderful ideas to organize many things in my house and car (what a great idea for the garbage bag!!)
    Thank you very much for a very interesting and very useful blog!!
    Sandra

  88. I’m not a junkie like you but I do use 3M Command hooks, mostly because I never thought to use them in some of the ways you have. I do love them though. I always keep extras in our Christmas bins so that I’m ready to go for the next year.

  89. I have never used them. I think I’d like to try them on my front door decorations first then move up to something more dangerous (like the wall). Seeing is believing that they work that good.

  90. I have used them for years in the closet, to hold all my purses, one the wall for my necklaces, and in the kitchen, and of course in the bathroom. I just don’t know what I would do without them.

  91. I have used them in the past, but after looking at your photos……I think I’ll be using them a lot more!!

    Thanks for the ideas!

  92. I am not quite a newbie and not quite a junkie either. I use them mostly around Christmas to hang decorations. I would love to use them more often.

  93. I am a total 3M Junkie!!! I used them to place the frames for my photo collage wall in my family room. LOVE THEM!!!

  94. I’m not a virgin but close to beginner and would like to dive in the deep end of the 3M pool. Your blog post has encouraged me to get busy with these hooks and more! A gift certificate will get me going. 🙂 Thanks

  95. I had never tried these until last Christmas for hanging stockings. I must say that I was very skeptical about whether they would hold the weight once the stockings were filled but to my surprise, they didn’t fail. I’m a true fan now!

  96. I have used these products before and loved them, but not for a long time – I found it really hard to find replacement strips. They seem to be more common in the stores again, so I’m looking forward to finding new uses again!

  97. Embarrassed to say it, but I am a 3M virgin…. What have I been missing? Always up for trying new products. The 3m line looks amazingly versatile and very useful! I think I could easily become ‘hooked’ from the many ideas you shared in your post. Thank you!

  98. I have used them once or twice, but need to use them more often, it seems! I guess it’s just a habit to reach for the hammer and a nail or hook. These would have been fantastic in my dorm room when we couldn’t damage the walls. Thanks!

  99. I’m somewhere between an 3M virgin and a 3M junkie. I’ve use the Command products in the past but nothing like what you have shown us. Can’t wait to try some of these things. Love the car trash bag idea. I have a trash bag in the car now but it just looks like part of the trash!

  100. I would consider myself closer to a 3M virgin than junkie. I used them a little, but not nearly as much as I could. I’m always looking for ways to make my world more organized. 🙂

  101. I’ve never tried these and never realized you could remove them without a trace. I love that idea! I can think of lots of uses (especially for the camp our family rents in the summer–there are never enough places to hang things!!). I also like your idea of having one in the car. Every new vehicle I’m always trying to find a good spot to hang a trash bag and/or air freshener. This will work perfectly! thank you for sharing

  102. WOW!!! I am DEFINITELY a 3M virgin! I never knew there were so many possibilities! I am going to start using these right away to try to make my life simpler. I love to organize so can’t wait to try them! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO, LAURA!!!

  103. I love command products! I use them in the bathroom to hold my hair dryer, I use the strips to hang my plastic bag holder, and to hang pictures and seasonal decorations.

  104. Being a military family making lots of moves, I have become a 3M junkie for sure. I had fun a few weeks ago showing the removal of a hook to a painter who had never seen them before. He was very impressed. My grandfather used to get the 3M boxes at Christmas time for each of his children’s family. It was a selection of their newest items along with some classics. I wish they still did something similar (I think it was a shareholders offer). 3M is one of the longest running companies on the Dow Jones Industrial list. I credit it to innovations like these. They’ve come a long way since just being the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co.

  105. would love to see if they would work on our cinder block walls, cuz they are pretty naked now. The walls that aren’t block have masonry drywall which also doesn’t accept a nail well. Thanks for posting all the great ideas!

  106. I am a virgin when it comes to 3M command products – don’t know how I have not noticed them – but I can think of many places in our house that could use them beautifully!

  107. I am a 3M virgin. I would love to try the hooks that don’t ruin paint. So curious to see if it is true.

  108. What a great post….I have a few of the command hooks in my home….but you gave me so many more ideas….like in my car for the garbage bag …Thanks so much…

  109. I just helped a friend decorate her wedding reception in a historic building where we used these for everything! The facility planner had never heard of these before so she was worried about using them. I think we sold her on the product once she saw how they came off and left no marks on the walls!

  110. I tried some of these several years ago, but they were white and a different shape. I don’t know why I didn’t keep using them. They were great. I’d love to give these a try!!

  111. A 3M Virgin; All new to me, never used them yet! But you’ve peaked my interest! Using them in the cars to hold trash bags–wonderful. My wheels are spinning?

  112. I’ve used the 3M command hooks for several projects and would love to have some more… thanks for hosting an awesome giveaway!

  113. I have hung all of my jewlery (necklaces) in my closet with 3M hooks. Love the clean look and the fact that I can take them down are reuse them!

  114. I am a 3m virgin! Love the idea to use in car to hold trash bag! I never know where to put the trashbag and now I must try a command hook!

  115. I’m pretty new to them, although given that we’re in an apartment, we should probably be using some of their products instead of always drilling holes to hang pictures!

  116. I guess I’m somewhere between virgin and junkie. However, after seeing the pics in this post, I have some great organizing ideas for my home and think I could easily become a junkie! Especially if I win this giveaway!

  117. I am a junkie for sure!!! I use them everywhere, home, office, car, garage, even on vacation! I’ve used them on a cruise too!!

  118. I have not tried 3m command hooks yet but look forward to doing so. Am totally new @ Organization in Genral but am attempting to get the house in order! Need lots of help & reading your blog for advise!

  119. I’m definitely a Command hook junkie. In fact, I was trying to track down my box of hooks earlier tonight – turns out my daughter has them. BTW, I did have some hooks pull the paint right off several walls. I didn’t put them up, my other daughter did, but what a mess. I don’t know what the problem was.

  120. I’m a junkie right along with you, I also get excited when they come out with something new. Thanks for the opportunity!

  121. I have used the picture hanger velcro thingies-picture fell off the wall 3 days later-needed 4 strips, not two, but it is neeto not to put holes in my new walls. Would love to win, as I have only hung one picture in my new house!

  122. I am a 3M virgin but would LOVE to start using them all around my house. Especially since I’m living in military housing right now!

  123. I am a hopelessly addicted Command Junkie! These are some of the best products made…ever!

  124. Holy cow, so many comments. Will move into my first house as a he owner next week and I am so excited to start personalizing and decorating. These will be great to not put holes in my walls.

  125. I’ve used 3M for years as hooks on the backs of doors and in closets, but only in the last few months have I discovered I can use them for picture hanging and for things like hanging necklaces. I am eager to get my hands on some of those clear hooks!

  126. Great post, great products, great giveaway, would love to hang things without ruining the wall! Thanks so much!

  127. I love 3M hanging strips. I just tried the picture hangers (although I’ve used their hooks for a long time). I love the little crunch sound when the strips lock into place. I love the hook in the car…my car will get this upgrade soon.

  128. Love, love the 3M products. In addition to regular use, how can you possibly do holiday decorating without them?

  129. I had never really used the command strips until August when my daughter moved into the dorm. Wow! LOVE them! They made everything SO easy to hang! They really made a huge difference when it came to making her new home away from home and actual “home”.

  130. I guess I have to say I’m a Command virgin. I have purchased them….I just haven’t used them yet. Now I have some wonderful ideas! Thanks for this great post!

  131. I just don’t understand why everyone does not use them. We just moved into a new house and have used them all over. We never seem to have enough for all the pictures we want to hang. Just bought some yesterday.

  132. I have never used the Command Hooks or Picture Hanging Products before and am anxious to try! I won’t have to wait for my husband to hang a picture any longer! I am excited to try all the uses you featured too. Going to organize my daughters purses and put one in the car since the bag in my car hangs on my turn signal bar and always gets tangled. I can’t wait to fix this! And now I can put one in the back of the car for the kids! Can’t wait to hang the Christmas decorations using Command Hooks and Picture Hanging Products! Thank you!

  133. I should own stock in 3M as many command hooks and strips as I use in the classroom (we will just focus on my addiction there) old plaster walls there….the ONLY thing that I can use is command hooks…..Love Love them…..Thanks for the chance!

  134. Oh my…I am a total virgin, but when I saw all your usable ideas I got excited! I loved the trashbag holder in the car idea the best! My car always has the grocery bags floating around for trash!

  135. I LOVE command hooks! I use them everywhere–except in my car! I hadn’t thought of that!! Thanks for the great ideas!

  136. I’ve had some experience with Command products – some small hooks. I need some for my bathtub, so I would love to win this giveaway! (P.S. My kids saw the advertisements on QUBO and told me about them!)

  137. I’m a 3m virgin but I won’t be for long with all the fabulous ideas you showed us.Love the car bag idea.

  138. I can’t call myself a 3M junkie because my eyes are now open to all that these hooks could help organize!!

    I think they might be a great help in keeping my new engagement ring safe though!!

    🙂

  139. I actually used the stainless look ones at work quite a bit and use them to hang my hair dryer and straightener on the cabinet door in the bathroom to allow more storage space. They work wonderfully and could be very helpful when trying to decorate a rental!

  140. I’m a command product lover. I keep a smattering of extras in my junk drawer, for those “just in case” times! *L*

  141. I’m a total Command junkie.. I actually get irked with people that refuse to try then. Maybe they’re afraid they’ll be hooked for life like I am!! 😀

  142. I am a command newbie… Not a virgin, but haven’t utilized them fully yet. Love the car idea! Hadn’t thought of that one!

  143. I am a huge fun of command hooks — have them on doors for hanging robes and nightgowns, on the side of my sink, for hanging my face towel (no room for a ring on the wall), and on the inside of my desk, for hanging my purse. In the garage, they hold ski poles, reusable shopping totes. If only I had had the *clear* command hooks, my favorite, and irreplaceable, suncatcher would not have broken!

  144. I have seen the 3M products in store but was always worried they actually weren’t as good as they said. Since reading your article I think I’ll give them a go! Thanks Laura.

  145. I have only used some hooks recently, so I haven’t had a lot of experience with them yet…but would love to try some more products!! Thanks for the giveaway!

    1. Pretty sure I’m considered a “junkie”. I have them on the inside of all our closets to hang our bath towels on to dry, on a wall in closets for my husbands caps in the shower to hang my shower back brush and lofah. A wall poster in my sons room, inside my daughters closet to hang her purses on and used them to hang a poster up at school when my daughter ran for student counsel. I love them and tell all my friends how great they are. Thank you for the chance to win.

  146. My closet wall is covered with them for jewelry, bags, belts, etc. I need many more right now for a project in my daughter’s room. Love, love, love the 3M Command products!

  147. I would be a total junky if I had the money to buy as many as I wanted, but I don’t… And I’ve just discovered the picture hanging strips! They’re perfect for me because I live in an apartment with a controlling landlord who won’t let us put ANY holes in the walls. After 2 years, I finally have pictures on the walls!

  148. I’m a 3M Command virgin sorry to say, though I HAVE recommended them to my Mother since she rents and isn’t allowed to put holes in her walls.

  149. I’ve use a few – in the shower, to hang our shower caddy on (I hate hanging it from the shower, since the soap bar is constantly wet, and doesn’t last as long); and on the back of a couple of doors. I definitely need some more! I’m a junkie wannabe!

  150. I love 3M command. I use them everywhere. Have a bunch in each childs’ room to hold pictures. Easy to change pictures and drawing out.

  151. Virgin. Although I have benefitted from someone else using them-a lady in my office put them up so we could hang our jackets. Would love to try more!

  152. I am becoming a 3M Command hook junkie! I have recently stumbled upon the Velcro picture hanging strips and OMG I’m in love!! How have I not known about these until now?? Love, love, love all of their products!! Thank you!!

  153. I have used a few Command hooks, but not many. I just don’t know what all is out there and not sure where to use them in my home. Definitely going to use the “hang the trash bag in the car” idea though!

  154. I’ve only used them a few times, but seeing all the things you’ve done with them … sure will give them more tries elsewhere!!!

  155. I am a 3M Junkie when it comes to the picture hanging. So easy, and allows me to decorate when the kids are asleep 🙂

  156. I can’t believe I never thought to us command hooks for Christmas decorations! I have only ever used the command picture hooks (which are fantastic). Would love to win so I can be a Junkie!

  157. I am neither a virgin nor a junkie. I prefer to say that I appreciate their usefulness and welcome the opportunity to use them every chance I get, although I admit I had not considered some of these uses!

  158. I’ve been a junkie for years. Use them everywhere. I used the clear to hang butterflies from my daughter’s ceiling. They worked great where other products failed

  159. I am a 3M Command virgin but I am about to become a junkie! I have been looking for great ways to become better organized and I love your ideas. I can’t wait to get started!

  160. I LOVE the 3M Command strips, hooks, … all of it! There isn’t a room in the house that doesn’t have some type of 3M Command product. I love the Picture Clips for hanging my children’s artwork. I can easily change the display without damaging the art or my wall. You can’t lose using these products.

  161. I LOVE 3M command hooks!!! Just started using them this year for hanging decor throughout my house! I love your idea of using one in the car for the trash bag too! I might have to give that one a try! Definitely beats the trash can sliding around on the floor.

  162. I am a 3M JUNKIE! I use those sanity savers everywhere inside the house, outside the house and in my car. I even have my husband hooked (no pun intended) and he uses them in his dorm room at work alllllll the way up in Canada.

  163. I have used them at work and they are wonderful. I would definitely like to try them out in our new home! 🙂

  164. I have decided to give these a try, since i had hever known of them before now. But they sound like a wonderful idea!

  165. I’m a virgin. A friend has them all over her house. Would love to try them out and become a junkie. : )

  166. Junkie, definitely. They are EVERYWHERE in our home, and I use them for almost all my christmas decor! I hadn’t seen the clear ones though… SO EXCITED.

  167. Hope I win b/c I love 3M hooks! I use them to hold potholders inside my cupboard door, hold my blowdryer, hold up all my running headbands….yep…. i’m a junkie!

  168. I’m not a junkie, but I’m getting there. I have so many uses for them – they work great to hang stuff like calendars, backpacks, robes for my kids at a level where they can reach stuff and be more independent. I would love to win more!! I love the idea for the car.

  169. i have never used 3m before but it looks amazing. i think these would be a lifesave not only in my home but in my cute little vintage trailer

  170. I guess I’m in between – I would love to use them more but they are expensive! I’d love to try the clear ones – I think that would solve the garbage issue in my husband’s work van. What a neat idea!!

  171. Wait for it…. I have never used them but was just thinking about how they would probably help get our homework and other school things organized. (on top of everything else). Thank you.

  172. I am not a virgin but I am not a total junkie yet…I just bought the picture hangers for my daughter who lives in res at university and she had a poster she wanted to put up but of course cant put holes in the walls. They worked great for her! I have used them in the past on my painted walls for my key holders at my front door among other things. 🙂

  173. I’m a junkie for sure! When I see a Command Hook display in the store I must browse it to see if there’s anything new or something I just can’t live without!

  174. I LOVE LOVE Command hooks! I discovered them a couple years ago and have used them to organize the dress up clothes in the girls playroom, hang dry erase boards on their door (might not have the right strength there, but it works), and I’m going to use one to hang a poster that keeps falling in the oldests room. I hope I win!

  175. total junkie. Those picture hanging strips? AMAZING. How in the world would I decorate for the holidays without these?

  176. I love Command hooks and use them all through the house. But I also brought them to work and use them in my office. They have so many great uses. Love IT!!

  177. I am a 3M virgin but would love to try them. My daughter has been using them up at college. I hope to try them soon

  178. 3M hooks/strips are genious! I use them in my bathroom to hang all my necklaces, in my garage to hang my dog’s leash & my jumprope, under my kitchen sink to hang my plastic bag recycler, and I simply can’t wait to put them to more good use! I’ve already got tons of ideas based on this post!

  179. Like you, I’m a total junkie! I love, love, love the 3M command line! I have them everywhere in my house doing a multitude of different things. Can’t have enough so I’d love to win!

  180. Total Junkie! When my son went away to college, we used all sorts of 3M hooks and picture hangers in his dorm room. When he finished his year and we went to help him move, we weren’t charged a dime and everything was still hanging where it was at the beginning of the year. (yes! They stood the test of two teenage boys for an entire school year!!!)

  181. I just started using them, but wish they were cheaper as well! I have one going to college next year, so I am sure we will need to stock up!

  182. I’m a 3M virgin, but spent a lot of time staring at the Command hook display at Walmart yesterday and plotting all the things I could use them for. I think I might have gotten one of each package to try out in the old RV!

  183. I am a command hook junkie too! I love those things! Wish I had them when I rented apartments!!!! And the window….I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!!!!! Now, going to hang my sun catcher as soon as I can get some clear 3M hooks!

  184. I love Command hooks, especially for Christmas decorating. I would use more if they weren’t so expensive. I’m sure I’d use the giveaway goodies!!

  185. Love 3M, one daughter just got married and they moved into an apartment so 3M hooks for kitchen, bath, laundry room….the other daughter off to college, more 3M….and a couple more in the travel trailer for keys, need some more for towels…….they are the best! Would love to win some of their products and put them to good use!! Thanks for the opportunity!

  186. I love Command hooks. Without them I couldn’t decorate the outside of my vinyl-clad house. Also love them inside for temporary hanging.

  187. I have used 3M hooks on the backs of doors but have never tried them on walls- I’d love to try the clear ones!

  188. I love the 3M products too! Like you I have used them for all sorts of things. But I never thought of adding one to my vehicle to hold the trash bag. I am going to do that as soon as it is light outside!

    Tami

  189. Totally new to it but remember seeing them before and thinking they were genius. Hopefully I’ll get to try them for free.
    Thanks

  190. Oh, I am a 3M junkie for sure. I use them all over the house and in the garage too. They really keep everything -and everyone so organized. LOVE them.
    Thanks for the opportunity.

  191. I have actually never used them! But, I would love to try them – can think of so many places I’d use them!

  192. Haven’t tried them yet but went to hang a harvest wreath today and couldn’t — immediately thought that I HAVE to get some!

  193. I love, love, love the 3M Command products. I especially like them for hanging up stockings at Christmas. I’ve had the weighted stocking holders which sit on your mantel, but they kept falling off (and eventually broke the tile around my fireplace 🙁 The ONLY problem that I have with them is that I buy them by the handful, different sizes and weights, different colors, and when I go to hang something up somebody in my household has already used all my hooks!

  194. I recently began using some 3m hooks and am very pleased. I didn’t even mess it up when I removed them from the wall. THAT’S an impressive product!

  195. Junkie here! Being a military family and moving every three years, these things have been a lifesaver for hanging decorations. No holes in the walls to repair when we move out!
