I kept putting it off til I figured I wanted my closet to look nice.  I purchased a set of 40 in black with a gold hanger & LOVE them.  They are sturdy, has a flocked type materials that covers the entire hanger except for the gold hook at the top.  You can put anything on these such as tank tops, spagetti straps, etc. & they will NOT fall off.  The best fact is that they do take up LESS space.  I was amazed at how well my closet looked, how orderly & neat & I had space to spare.  They also have these for slacks & I plan to purchase some of those also as you...

They're a delicious snack & easy to travel with. Will let you in on something my hubby does. He takes a big plastic drinking cup with us, put it in the cup holder & dumps in the M & M's. Of course they get warm & they melt in your mouth even faster & taste delicious. As they say with Jello, there is always room for an M & M....if you can stop after a few that...
