I’m addicted to 3M adhesive hooks!
September 8, 2009 | Filed Under Household | 38 Comments
I have written about my love of 3M products on my blog many times before and so how excited was I to learn that 3M wanted to send me a few of their new products to try out.
So excited!
I was expecting a couple of hooks, I was not expecting this:
I love that 3M chose to show off their products in a lovely basket and packaged them so beautifully. That tells me that detail is important to them and since I’m a girl that pays particular attention to detail, this makes me heart sing. It tells me that 3M takes pride in their products from the top to the bottom. I love companies that GET IT!
I have 3M hooks all over my house. I’m a girl that loves changing things up and 3M hooks, because they aren’t permanent, allow me to do that quite easily. I can put one up and then when I want to rearrange things I can take it down without wrecking my walls. I have NEVER had a problem with them taking the paint off and I use these hooks constantly. Here are a few examples of places I’ve used them around the house:
- to hang towels on the back of the bathroom door
- to hang Christmas decorations
- to hang calendars around my house
- to hang bathrobes and aprons
- to hang tote bags
- to hang picture frames
- to hang chore charts (as seen here)
You can see some more of these uses in action here.
The hooks come in different weights so be sure to select the right one for the job. Oh and did I mention they are re-useable, you just have to put on a new sticky pad and many of the hooks come with an extra one.
3M now has a new line of very cute kid hooks ranging from Disney Cars to Hanana Montana. I’ve got one hanging in my son’s room for his library bag. Practical and fun, what’s not to love!
The 3M Adhesive line is pretty extensive. There are hooks and organizers for pretty much any situation you can think of.
I can’t recommend these enough, they are the perfect organizing accompaniment.
Have fun!
Updated: Whee by the looks of the comments I am not alone in my addiction…he he! Oh and also Kelly made a good point…to make sure you don’t wreck your wall, be sure to take off the Command It by pulling straight down on the sticky thing and do not pull at an angle.
Fridgefile ~ Filing System + giveaway

Updated to add: The winner of the Fridgefile goes to #14 Vicki!!
A little while ago I had the opportunity to try out the Fridgefile. The Fridgefile is an awesome inexpensive tool for organizing all those really important papers that you aren’t ready to file yet. It was designed by a busy mom who understands the necessity of organizing important information where it is readily available and convenient for the whole family to access.
This four pocket magnetic organizer makes for an amazing addition to any Command Center because it is so versatile in how it can be used. Sort your papers by child or by category, whatever works for your family. The Fridgefile will hold up to 65-70 pieces of paper and also has a convenient white board on the front.
I love this system as it allows me to find what I need quickly and easily and my family appreciates that convenience as well. My four pockets are labeled events, planning, reference and schedules which addresses all the types of papers that might normally end up on my dining room table.
The Fridgefile is such a great price ($13.00) for the amount of organization it provides. And because I’m clearly off my rocker with all this snow we’ve been getting, I’m also including a video clip of me talking about my own Fridgefile. Ack!
Today I’m giving away one Fridgefile to one lucky reader! Just leave a comment on this post before Monday, March 30th at 9:00 pm PST to be eligible. Thanks!
