Organizing my husband’s ties used to be a huge challenge for me. No matter how meticulous I get, arranging them ever so carefully, his tie drawer will be a mess by the end of the week. And so I have to start with the process of arranging them again. You bet I constantly nagged him about it – but nothing happened.

I was saved from losing my sanity when a friend of mine gave me a tie rack hanger that she made herself. It was very useful and it really made my life easier. I wanted to replicate the hanger so I could give some to friends. Fortunately, my husband loves to work with his hands and has great woodworking skills.
As of today, I have given more than a dozen tie rack hangers to family and friends. I personalize them with names, or quotes. Needless to say, the gift is a huge hit!
