Here’s my favorite:  The Clothespin!

Here's why:  I like the clothespin for it's simplicity of design, price, variety of types, shapes, sizes, colors, and reliable performance. 

Here's how I use it:

1) Drying Flowers - clip stems and then clip them to a wire or string hanging from the ceiling.

2) Chip Clip - clip cereal bags, frozen foods, seed packets, bread, crackers, bags of soil, noodles, etc.

3) Paper Holders - use the tiny ones and glue them to a bulletin board. Write "bills' on one and clip away! Clip index cards and paperwork together for a simple filing system.

4) Camper Light Clips - use the plastic ones to clip camper lights to the awning.

5) Ribbon Holder - clip spooled ribbon or string to the spool without damage.

6) Clamp - hold items being glued together or knots when tying packages.

7) Clothes Rack - glue pins to a board and clip caps, scarves, gloves, etc.

8) Clothespin - Oh, yes! And as a clothespin! Hold wide-necked tops, skirts, shorts and skinny straps to wire hangers or hang clothes to dry.
