Handy hooks, hold the hammer
Kids seem to require an inordinate amount of Stuff Corralling, and I'm okay with that; but I'm not okay with putting holes in the walls every time I want the kids to stop putting everything they own on the floor because "I don't have anywhere else to put it." Up until now, every so-called "non-marking" hook I'd found either 1) left a mark or 2) fell off the wall the first time you actually hung something on it. These Jelly Bean Bath Hooks from Slip-X are different. Maybe it's because they're nice and big, but their suction cups grab on for dear life and actually stand up to things like wet towels and heavy backpacks. (Pull the tab when you're ready to relocate them and they pop right off.)

Because they don't have any sharp edges (no head bonks, here) and come in a variety of multi-colored three-packs, they're ideal for kids, and they're 100% BPA, PVC, and phthalate-free, too. Use them to make life easier for kids, but don't be surprised if you find yourself sneaking one for your bathroom or the laundry area, too. They're versatile little things. -Mir
