(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best closet clothes hangers

I am due in November so this is more of a blind-leading-the-blind sort of list, but take what works for you and leave out what doesn't:

• Car seats (yes, seats. We went with an infant seat that was part of a stroller+car seat combo, and a convertible seat for when it gets older.) - we wanted new ones for safety since you can never be sure that a used car seat hasn't been in a crash, even if it isn't expired yet... plus... re-use for baby #2 someday (it shouldn't expire before my ovaries do)
  
  
• Pack & Play - I know some people use these, some don't. We know that my partner's family is a good 1.5-2 hours drive away, and his mother especially is super baby crazy so we're likely to be doing several weekend visits. Plus, we plan on setting it up in our downstairs living room so I don't have to tromp all the way upstairs every time baby naps.
  
  
• Diaper bag - we were really lost choosing one. I let my partner choose whatever he thought he'd feel comfortable carrying around. I just requested the option that it could be carried backpack-style (I like having some hands free), so he found one that converts from tote bag to backpack.
  
  
• Baby carrier - we chose the Lillebaby complete all seasons because we wanted something that worked for newborns.
  
  
• Car seat cover - "shower cap style" so it sits over the infant seat and doesn't interfere with baby or the car seat straps. November baby in a harsh winter climate, and I personally preferred this style to the tent/blanket style ones that hook onto the handle of the car seat
  
  
• Car Mirror - because I'm paranoid and want a way to be able to visually check on baby when the car seat is rear-facing. These usually attach to the headrest of the seat.
  
  
• Baby Spoons, bowls, snack and sippy cups - for 6+ months old
  
  
• Baby Bottles - despite our goal of having baby exclusively breastfed, I know there are times (i.e. babysitting, partner bonding time, I'm-too-tired, car trips where it's inconvenient to stop) when I'm not going to want to breastfeed at the boob. So we registered for a few bottles that should be compatible with the breast pump we want, along with the uber slow flow nipples.
  
  
• Drying Rack - we went with the Boon Lawn/Grass style drying rack. It is currently being used to dry dishes, and we love it. I don't care if we never dry a bottle on that thing, it's an awesome drying rack.
  
  
• Boob pads - I asked for Bamboobies, but nobody had gifted any so I ended up buying some myself when my boobs started leaking. I'm not thrilled with the quality - I feel like I could've sewn some better ones, but I wanted those because of the purported wrinkle-free heart shape. If I were to do it again, I'd just buy whatever generic circular boob pads had the best reviews and price, or make my own.
  
  
• Feeding Pillow - we went with a boppy, and registered for a spare cover. Turned out we just ended up getting a used one and gifted a spare cover, so it worked out just fine. The spare cover is because I hear it can get messy.
  
  
• High Chair - for 6+ month. Husband specifically wanted the kind that you can take camping (baby will be 6+ months for camping season next summer), and I managed to find one that specifically had a hard tray, because I heard the foldable fabric tray just dumps all the food into baby's lap.
  
  
• Bibs - we originally registered for the sleeved Bumkins bibs, but our friends gifted us a Aden & Anais Burpy Bib with rave reviews about it, and we loved that it was both a burp cloth and a bib so we shifted gears and asked for more of those. They don't have the food trap, but I love that they're multi-purpose.
  
  
• Hooded bath towels - yeah, we could use regular towels... but I heard these are more convenient because baby is likely to void themselves after a warm bath, and they're smaller than regular towels so you won't be doing an excessively large load with adult towels.
  
  
• Washcloths - for some reason we have zero adult washcloths. We just use those poufs. So having some on hand for baby seemed like a good idea - I doubt baby needs the pouf to exfoliate.
  
  
• Bath rinser - the kind that keeps the water out of baby's eyes. Necessary? probably not. Useful? we'll see in November.
  
  
• Tub spout protector thingy - because I already gave myself a giant bruise bathing the dog and hitting my back on the faucet - so this is half for me, half for keeping the baby from bumping their head on the faucet of the tub.
  
  
• Baby tub - I hear this is also unnecessary, but they are also super cheap. We got "the blue tub".
  
  
• Nursery decor / wall art - because I'm too cheap to buy it myself if it's not a necessity. Our walls are currently bare.
  
  
• Baby clothes hangers - we like the ones with clips so they keep the clothing sets together.
  
  
• Crib/bassinet/co-sleeper - we'd have registered for a crib and bassinet if we weren't getting loaner ones. Heck, we're registered for a crib anyway because it matches our nursery colors - so either we get one gifted, and it matches - or we're just gonna use the borrowed one that doesn't match because we're very frugal
  
  
• Changing table / pad / covers - We got a good deal on a used changing table at a rummage sale, but it didn't come with the pad. So we just registered for a generic $20 changing pad and a couple covers (because apparently accidents happen and these things need frequent washing). We might not have even bothered with the table and just used one of those portable pads on the bed/couch, but we can't pass up good rummage deals.
  
  
• Portable changing pads - see aforementioned changing table. We want one to go in the diaper bag.
  
  
• Crib sheets - we want the QuickZip ones. I would register for 2-3 in case there are accident(s) at night or naptime.
  
  
• Humidifier
  
  
• Diaper caddy - totally not necessary - just use whatever bin/basket/container that you want to hold a few diaper changing supplies in. Or just use your diaper bag. Whatever floats your boat. We just wanted something nice looking to leave in the living room, so we registered for a cheap basket style thing. Totally reusable after baby is out of diapers.
  
  
• Baby Monitor - all we cared for was sound. We registered for one with video, because it's almost the same price. If it were reasonably cheaper to just get the sound version, we wouldn't have bothered with video. Depends on your level of comfort.
  
  
• Baby safety kit - with thermometer, nail clippers, bulb syringe, that sort of thing.
  
  
• Baby gate - we originally registered for this, then removed it when we just bought it ahead of time to keep the dogs contained.
  
  
• Baby Medicine Kit - we registered for the little remedies kit. Yes, we're within 5 minutes of a 24-hour grocery store. No, we don't want to have to do that when baby is putting up a fuss because of gas or whatever. We'd rather have some meds on hand in the medicine cabinet.
  
  
• Diapers - we went with cloth. Go with whatever you choose.
  
  
• Diaper pail
  
  
• Booties, hats, & scratch mittens - basically the articles of clothing nobody thinks to buy
  
  
• A couple outfits we REALLY like in sizes people aren't likely to get us - to be fair, we didn't announce gender and have gotten very few articles of baby clothes. Usually, when we do get them, they're 0-3mo and 3-6mo sizes. Make sure you're registering for clothing sizes for the correct weather of that age range - for us it means winter clothes for 0-6 month, and summer clothes for 6+ month.
  
  
• Sleep sacks / swaddles - we got a lot of these
  
  
• Baby socks - I specifically requested and registered for these, and have not been disappointed. People love baby foot items, like shoes and socks. I hear you can lose a lot of these, so I wanted a lot of them.
  
  
• Infant "tummy time" gym - I made the mistake and registered for one of these. I got three. This is apparently a favorite off-registry gift to give people. Beware.
  
  
• Teething toys - Sophie the Giraffe was pretty obvious, but I'm concerned the dogs will take it as a squeak toy.
  
  
• Soft toys / lovies - We got one from our registry, and people also love gifting teddy bears, so we got a bunch of those.
  
  
• Baby Links - I registered for these because I heard it's great for attaching to strollers/high chairs so toys don't get thrown and lost.
  
  
• Bouncer/Rocker/Swing - I literally registered for it like that (thanks BabyList). I want EITHER a bouncer, rocker, or swing. Just basically a place to set the infant so I can cook/clean/shower/laundry/whatever.
  
  
• Activity Center/Jumperoo/Exersaucer - another "pick your favorite" registry item. I just wanted one that could be used for a partially mobile infant to be set down so I can get stuff done around the house.
  
  
• Baby Books - I registered for a couple as examples, and have been a couple off-registry ones. I asked for board books on the registry, because I feel we'll just use the library for most other books that aren't likely to be chewed on.
  
  
• Gift Certificates - I registered for gift certificates from Goodwill, Once Upon a Child, Half Price Books, as well as the online shop that sells my favorite type of cloth diapers.
  
  Our goal was to register for anything that could be used in the first year - but we own our house and have storage space. If we didn't, I think we'd just have registered for items used before 6 months.
  
  I did get a lot of receiving blankets despite not registering for any. I also got a lot of basic white gerber onesies, which I hear are awfully tiny and shrink in the wash so I haven't opened those at all.

A lot of official otome items can be pricey, especially like fanservice-y things like seiyuu CDs, art books, and illustrations. Games themselves, too, are pricey and it's hard to get something that comes with fast shipping from official stores because they ship from Japan or Korea and sometimes it's a pre-order, etc.

I may not play every since otome game out there, but I don't need official merch to be happy. What I mean is, I think even if you don't get something official for your friend, if it looks really nice and cute, I'd be happy with the thought that you got me something you usually wouldn't buy yourself. Sometimes fanmade things from storenvy or tictail can fit around your budget and are really cute!

Just as many people have said here, etsy and amazon are good choices to search for some merchandise, but before ordering, be sure to check how long shipping will take to you. Read reviews too, just in case the seller says they ship within 2 weeks, but some people get it 4 weeks later.

If you're willing to sacrifice a few more bucks, here are some gift ideas that (in my opinion) aren't that pricey, but I'd love to have/already do have:

Free! Rin shirt

Free! drawstring bag

Fire Emblem Fates Game Skin for Nintendo 3DS Console

Free! Haru figurine

Free! Haru themed necklace

Free! animal buttons set

Free! character buttons set

a bunch of otome buttons/stickers in order from least to greatest

Mystic Messenger notebook

Nameless Poster

707 Mystic Messenger Mug

some Hakuoki merch

some Fire Emblem shirts

some Norn9 merch

some Hakuoki merch from least to greatest

some Hatoful Boyfriend merch (for laughs and giggles)

*some Starry Sky merch

And that's all I can try finding around your budget. Sorry if some links have keychains and stuff, it's hard to exclude them. Hopefully this gives you some ideas on what to get your friend. It can be like a bunch of buttons and stickers, or like maybe one big thing.

Good luck! c:

My wardrobe isn't gigantic, but I too started acquiring more once I figured out my personal style and found some good local sources. I also tend to want to find the "best" (for my purposes) version of an item, I like to be prepared for anything, and I have a chronic illness that makes me uncomfortable in certain items on many days, all of which means I've got a bunch of small capsules-of-sorts for formal occasions, cold weather, sick days, etc.

My systems:

• I keep rarely used and out-of-season capsules separate and stored where I can least access and thus least see them. The goal is avoid looking at a whole bunch of clothes right in front of me, not sure why none of it seems like what I want to wear that day or why I keep grabbing the same few. If half of it has been weaned out for good reasons, I see only items I might actually wear now, which keeps me from feeling guilty for passing so many up and makes me more aware of "hidden" items I didn't notice when they were outnumbered. Note on weaning out: There are gray area pieces that I could wear if I just decided to dress fancy-ish on a normal day or layer that maxi dress under a sweater, and I just have to be realistic about whether I'd actually like the outfit I could make with it or am kidding myself about its versatility or my lifestyle.
  
• I keep items with similar uses in the same part of the closet, so I don't forget about one type and always reach for another. For example, jeans are in a folded stack beneath a few hanging skirts and bottoms, and in a drawer under that (nearly, anyway) are leggings and tights. If I don't do that, I grab the things I can see and forget about the ones in a far-away drawer.
  
• I keep frequently-used shoes by the door and extra purty/rarely used ones in a visible place in the closet. It might seem obvious for practical reasons, but I also (mostly) don't need to see what my outfits look like with the knee-high boots I wear every other day, while I'm still experimenting with my other shoes and need to see them in the mirror and remember I have them when I'm looking around my closet for options. As with the above, out-of-season (sandals) and truly rarely used shoes (schmancy heels) are stored away, because it's more space efficient, I don't need them cluttering up my field of vision, and I know where to look if I need them.
  
• I keep all clothes with like clothes, which certainly isn't uncommon but I know isn't everyone's instinct. Tanks with tanks (plain identical cotton ones folded beneath other hanging ones), l/s with l/s, nice sweaters grouped, more sporty sweaters grouped, etc.
  
• Everything in a drawer must be visible. I hear that's Konmari-style too, storing everything vertically instead of stacking. That goes for my scarves, beanies, underwear, leggings...well, almost everything except in one drawer where I keep stacks of things like old tanks for home use and just take one off the top.
  
  Products:
  
  
• I use the velvet-coated hangers from Amazon, because they're not only thin but uniform: I don't want different or colorful hangers adding chaos to my view of my closet. I do have a some wooden ones for pants and heavier items like coats, but otherwise I stick to those.
  
• Everyone recommends the IKEA Skubb set for drawers, but even IKEA offers others that might better suit your needs, depending on what you're folding and the size of your drawers. I have and love a set of these Komplement trays, which are made for their PAX system but also fit in some of my drawers and are great for larger items than most of the Skubbs. Besta also has a couple interesting options, and Komplement includes some jewelry trays like this one. (I use a couple plain trays from The Container Store, myself.)
  
• ETA: I also use these to keep my boots up, so they're not flopping about all willy-nilly.

"Pimp my cube, /u/quinnundine!" "OKAY /u/kickballa!"

• Letter tray! super cute and can free up all of that paper cluttler on your desk! :) Plus to can spray paint them different colours!
  
  
• Desk Mat! Available in an assortment of colours!
  
  
• Hanging wall filer! More decluttering papers! Super light weight, also full of pops of colour!
  
  
• These colourful clipon lamps are cute! :)
  
  
• Decorative folders! Manilla is so BLAHHHHHH
  
  
• Andddd a set of 6 cute little purse holders!
  

It'll almost certainly be fine, at least for one winter. I like the camel color (Vicuna), which looks nice and breaks the normal black/navy/grey. Navy is fine as well, but it might look washed out with jeans. A few concerns/thoughts about the coat, however:

• Lots of polyester. A little bit can help with structure, but 30% not-wool says cost cutting. Yeah, it's Land's End so you (in theory) can return it when it starts to fall apart, but it won't be a several winters coat.
  
• Don't care for the hood. I'd rather have a wool hat that keeps my ears warmer, and the cleaner jacket look of a more traditional wool coat. Yeah, you can remove it, but the jacket is still a bit noisy; compare to Schott NYC Car Coat.
  
• Not really liking the zipper, but that's subjective.
  
• Guessing it runs pretty big. "Designed to fit over a jacket or blazer" and regular Land's End. Unless you plan on layering a lot every time you wear it, probably want to size down. Looks big on the model, even without a good zipped up picture.
  
  So in summary, at $131 with the next 40% off code it'll be a decent looking, serviceable jacket. If you are wearing it day in and day out during the winter, it'll probably be pretty worn down after a year. If this is the first time owning a wool coat, I would consider getting two coats to alternate and some cedar hangers to help dry them out when not in use. If you can scrounge up, it may be worth getting a higher end wool coat if you don't plan on heading for California the moment you graduate. Maybe Schott NYC/J Crew/Sterlingwear/etc as an early Christmas gift when it starts getting cold consistently?

Hangers with clips (Either alone or on the hanger). On the hanger is fun because you can usually slide them towards or away from each other, and the tension will hold them a bit in place.

Vice grips - the weight can be really satisfying

Binder clips - even better are the ones with the magnet on the end!

Alligator cilps

Jumper cables, but probably need some heavy padding.

Chopsticks and tight (small) rubber bands.

Almost anything with "clip" or "clamp" in the name. So, for instance, if you have those heavy-duty clamps that get used to hold down a tablecloth at an outdoor picnic, that can be fun. Or woodworking clamps.

There are also things you can do to up the intensity even with gentle things. Ex: after the clothespins have been on a while, turn them 90 degrees. Or go more for the edge of the nipple rather than the base. Or get a spatula/paddle and slap your nipples to get them tender first.

You can really have fun with anything that squeezes. I remember as a kid using two clipboards. It was tough to get the nipple in, but was a fun sensation.

Hope that gives you some ideas!

Yeah good point. Guess mine doesn't really fit the bill for OP. I only have a few merino wool shirts. I have even noticed they aren't doing too well hanging in my closet. I had them in there since I remembered something about how they should be kept with space between them while hanging or something. Any recommendations for storing them? Just fold them all?

Also, I know there are a few other hangers that may be ok for drying wool, like these or these, but no clue how well they work. Also, since I only have a couple shirts, I think that my rack, combo'd with one like this would be a sweet portable set-up to fit all my needs. I'm sure something like this 6-layer one might be better for OP, but uses a lot of space

My girls are six and seven and I'm still using the baby/ kid sized hangars on most of their clothes so they are an ok investment :-)

Amazon basic I think they're called have pink flocked hangars ( pretty sure blue and white also )
That are really great. Keeps all the little sundress straps from slipping off.
Pretty cheap too



Edit :

AmazonBasics Kids Velvet Hangers - 30 Pack, Pink https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0112W779G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HhJezbHQB6F8C

These ones :-)
Think I'll actually order some more while I'm in here. Just hit a huge consignment sale and their little closets are bursting. Hehe

I never like the ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. They usually only have the thin hangers covered in velvet which don't help for suits. Any time I've seen suit style hangers there, they are always kind of a funny shape.

OP, I suggest any decently reviewed ones on Amazon. These are cheaper with good reviews. But Cedar ones would be a good choice for absorbing moisture and keeping moths away. Nothing is worse than a moth destroying your perfectly tailored suit.

However, the really good hangers always cost a pretty penny. The Hanger Project lets you choose the size of your hanger (for guys with smaller suits or big suits this is helpful) and many more options. I'm a 34R jacket so a smaller hanger usually works best to keep the best form to my jacket. They also have options with pant clips, pant bars, no pant bars, velvet shoulders, etc. etc.

I share a small closet and dresser with my boyfriend and it's a struggle but a few things have helped!

For pants and skirts, I got several hangers like this, which saves a ton of space. They make similar hangers for shirts, but I find them kind of annoying. The pant/skirt hangers are great though!

Since sweaters are really bulky I keep most of them in storage during the warmer months, but when I have to keep them in my closet I hang them like this, except on a hanger that already has a shirt or dress on it. That way I get double use out of a single hanger AND I can see all my sweaters AND they don't get stretched out in the shoulders.

I have a ton of tights and heat tech tops for layering under sweaters, and I don't really need to see them, so I keep those folded up in little baskets on top of my dresser.

I don't have many bags, so I just hang them on an over-the-door hook thing on the outside of my closet. If you have more than like 5 purses it might be more of a challenge though.

3. Dreamer Little Dinosaurs 8 piece crib set from WayFair Canada (was an absolute shopping nightmare but perfect once it arrived)

4. Glider is also gifted down from MIL who nursed my husband and his siblings in it. Great family heirloom piece.

5. 30 Delta infant plastic hangers in blue (girlfriend got me a pack as a shower gift and I had to buy more) https://www.amazon.ca/Delta-Children-Infant-Toddler-Hangers/dp/B00TR5A0N6

Costco sells velvet hangers that are good for lightweight and delicate items like blouses, tanks, camis etc. I also got some good clip hangers there a few years ago. For wood hangers, you don't need to go all out: I got some in Lowe's of all places last year. Ikea has good wood hangers. On Amazon, I like these for heavy duty stuff and these for clip hangers.

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!!

These are not suit hangers; these are regular shirt hangers.

If you want some nice suit hangers, I highly recommend these - $25/5.

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've been using these to good effect. I've also heard good things about Woodlore's hangers.

Only 99 bucks, seems like a good investment. https://www.amazon.com/OppoSuits-Cashanova-Party-Costume-Multi/dp/B00L0EMI82/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=money+suit&qid=1558489774&s=gateway&sr=8-3

skirt hangers work great, I personally use [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6026-341-Natural-Collection-Hangers/dp/B002YH4N1E/ref=zg_bs_16353541_1) and write the wash/soak dates on them too

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 hang probably half my tops to dry, and never get hanger marks. The trick is to use those velvety hangers like this. That way you can easily adjust how the shirt's shoulders/neckline sit on the hanger and it stays put - no stretching or marks. Then I hang them on my shower curtain rod until everything's dry.

Ya thats true I guess, these are the ones you are talking about right?

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

Remember folks, if we reach a certain threshold for the money tournament Joe will buy and wear a MONEY SUIT!

I believe the payout for 1st place needs to be $100. Joe can clarify, though.

Wooden hangers are the move
