16. Velvet Hangers
Anyone can buy a pack of hangers from Dollar Tree. But when it’s time to move, those plastic hangers are so annoying to transport, and over the years, they may bend and break. If you want to give your closet an upgrade, consider buying felt or velvet hangers. They stack easily, so they take up less space than plastic hangers. They also help fabric cling to the velvet, which is perfect for any clothing items that frequently slide off the plastic-like heavy sweatshirts or sweaters. The thin hangers look neat and save space on your closet bar if it’s at a premium.
In August, back-to-school time is a great time to watch for sales on velvet hangers as stores like Target release their curated dorm collections that tend to have inexpensive moving items like hangers. Stores like HomeGoods and TJ Maxx are also great places to check for reduced price overstock velvet hangers. Velvet hangers are also an excellent way to hang up blankets in a storage closet since the velvet helps the fabric grip and the thin profile lets you hang more blankets in the same amount of space over traditional thick, bulky plastic hangers. Velvet hangers are one of those items that simply is always worth the slightly higher price.
