You know that feeling when you find something that works and works well – and you just want to share the information? That is how I feel about these Huggable Hangers.
I keep clothes in my closet hung by categories, style, and colors. I’ll post about my closet organization tips in another day. Before I got married, all my hangers were white and plastic. The basic multipurpose hangers, sturdy, thick, I think I bought them at Target. They were all the same and I had hundreds of them. When I was single, I lived alone and had all the closets from my house to myself – and I filled them all! I loved it, I kept my suits and work clothes in the guest room closet, my casual clothes in my walk in closet, my evening gowns in a smaller closet in my bedroom, and my coats and jackets in the closet downstairs. I had a system and it worked for me.
After I got married, I moved into a different home with my husband. I still have lots of closet space and my own walk-in closet, but I don’t seem to have as much space as I used to in regards to the other closets in the house. I still keep my gowns and jackets in separate closets, and non-seasonal clothing in the guest room closet. The hanging space in my walk-in seemed to decrease compared to my previous closet. As a result, I was left with less space to hang my work and casual clothing.
My husband heard me comment about this and one day, after a visit to the Container Store he came home with a set of these Huggable Hangers for me. He said I should try them. I fell in love! They are great, they maximize the closet space and prevent clothes from slipping. The initial process of changing over all the hangers was a bit of an undertaking. In the end, it was worth it. Over the years, I have bought more of these hangers and have started converting the other closets in the house to these hangers as well. I recently bought three more sets – and they were on sale, yay!
At the Container Store they cost about $1 per hanger, $10 for a pack of 10, but worth it since they help me maximize the space in my closet. You can also find similar hangers in other colors and other brands at Wal-Mart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, or Costco (best deal 100 hangers for $49.99). The price is lower for other brands.
Have you tried these Huggable Hangers? Which type of hangers do you use?

The sets I recently purchased: 2 shirt sets (use for tops & dresses); 1 suit set (use these for jackets, pants, & suits)
They were on sale, yay!
These hangers maximize the space in my closet – these are some of my tops & blouses.
I also use these hangers for dresses.
And, for my exercise jackets.
These are the type of hangers I used to have in my closet. They take up more space.
