Yesterday afternoon, just before I left for the Yanni Voices concert, a rather large box arrived. Hubs doesn’t pay much attention to my packages anymore, LOL, but this one got his attention, especially because it was so light. We dug into it and the first thing he saw was a large basket & his reaction wasn’t as happy as mine, LOL! I heart baskets and used to have quite the collection. I decluttered and pared down and now only have a few, but in his mind he still saw the hundred baskets of “before” and thought “oh, no, a basket” Heehee. All this before we even knew what the package was all about. 
We quickly discovered a basket FULL of organizational products from 3M. We are all familiar with the brand, no doubt (from Scotch tape to Post-Its to Scotch-Brite and lots of other innovative products), and have glanced at the different variety of hooks if we’ve happened upon that aisle while doing our shopping, but I for one did not have any idea just how many different type of hooks and such 3M actually made.
A couple that jumped out at us right away was the Lightning McQueen kids hook (Lil Roo is a huge McQueen fan!) and the small organizer, which will be perfect for our scrub brushes, etc at the kitchen sink. They’ve just been sitting behind the faucet, so this will get them off the surface and organized. Love it!
I love the technology of the Command strips – strong sticky strips that hold the hooks & containers plus whatever you put on/in them and comes off clean without any surface damage when/if you decide to remove it.
As I continue doing my spring cleaning, decluttering, and organizing, I will be making great use of these products, including:
Utensil Hooks (holds up to ½ lb)
Deco Medium Hooks (belts, etc, holds up to 3 lbs)
Spring Clip (important paperwork, treasured child’s drawing, etc)
Recharging Station (small plastic container ideal for any small electronic device or cell phone – I’m thinking it’ll be perfect by my desk for my cell or Mylo)
Disney Large Hooks (in addition to McQueen, there’s Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, and others; they each hold 5 lbs, perfect to get kids in on the organizing game! They’ll love using these!)
Medium Cord Clips (holds cords up to a diameter of 3/8”)
Cord Bundlers (holds up to 5 lbs of cords)
Antique Bronze Metal Hook & Brushed Nickel Finish Hook (each holds 5 lbs and look great!)
Bright Chrome Metal Hook, small (holds up to 1 lb)
Jumbo Hook (holds 7.5 lbs)
Sawtooth Picture Hanging Kit (holds pictures weighing up to 5 lbs)
Wire Backed Picture Hanger (holds up to 5 lbs; be sure to get the right set for the type of frames you are hanging)
Picture Hanging Strips (4 sets, each holds up to a 8”x10” frame; perfect for displaying pictures without puncturing the wall!)
Decorative Clips (clear and perfect for Christmas lights around windows or other decorating needs)
Micro Hooks (holds up to ½ lb – great for light keyrings, calendar, etc).
Their products are small, but can do big things in helping you get delcuttered and organized! For more ideas, visit their site to learn how you can simplify, organize, and decorate with these great products.
