What is with “decorative” tissue boxes?
There is really no excuse for this. The companies that produce these spend millions of dollars in product research. They employ thousands of employees dedicated to bringing me a box of tissue. Why couldn’t they employ an artist or interior designer in JUST ONE of those positions?
Let’s go shopping! I obviously missed the “really good stuff” on the paper products aisle:
What is THAT color? And for the record I have never ever seen a rose look so gloomy.
Alright! Finally something with some sort of style. But this only was made in bright fuschia because everyone’s kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms are bright fuschia!
Here is a simple design 4 pack. With a grey sunflower, an weird orangish sunflower and two purple sunflowers. So, let me get this straight…they are selling this in a 4 pack because they expected that these 3 colors will fit right into my house?
Before you start re-painting your walls grey sunflower, weird orangish and too purple, you might want this information:
Yes, my dear reader, you will have to ACT QUICKLY because this set is for a limited time ONLY!
So then I saw this three pack:
I liked the top box:
Despite it being in a color scheme of pink and orange. I was going to look beyond that just because it was cute. Well, in context of the world of “decorative” tissue boxes it was cute.
It was packaged with this soccer-themed box (which sports that same weird green color):
And this perky box:
Which required closer inspection. I then noticed they all have this label:
Yes, this is Puff’s “anything but old-school” series. Finally, a tissue company puts the EDGY back in blowing your nose. This is what I have been waiting for.
Graffiti art tissue boxes…
decorated with skulls.
Perfect for my yellow painted GRUNGE themed masterbath…
All I can say is, “BRAVO!” Who else on this earth could blog so much about the color of tissue boxes and make it interesting and entertaining enough to keep me scrolling! Thanks for the laugh! I needed this today!
I don’t know which is more odd: that you would post about tissue box colors or that it would hold my attention the whole way through.
Maybe you need to take up koozie making. Maybe add for fringe or tassels to them.
This is why old ladies knit koozies for them and stores sell covers. There’s too much crayola in those suckers.
Tissue boxes have the same design conundrum that clothing for pregnant and heavy women seem to have.
You know what I’m talking about…designers think that when a woman is heavy or preganat that their fashion sense flies out the window and suddenly hideous prints, sequined applique’s and denim bows are considered ‘high style’.
Same must go for sneezing, congensted people.
Maybe the designers thought people would be too high on Nyquil to give a damn.
Oh Holly, You seriously need to go to Hobby Lobby or some other home store and get a tissue box cover.
And I think I have seen that rose before – on my dearly departed grandma’s sofa when I was a young lassie.
KEEP BELIEVING
I have six kids and don’t even have that much tissue in my house!
I think you need to put your creative Croc skills to work and call Kleenex immediately!
Oh, and you might need a break, and SOON!
Too funny. I can’t believe you bought all these boxes.
My aunt made me a pueblo house tissue-box holder, which, as far as tissue-box holders go, is actually really cute. So I buy the square boxes at Costco, and hide the one in my living room in the holder.
This just in! Reports indicate that there is now a shortage of tissue boxes in all general merchandise stores. A source who wishes to remain anonymous tells us it was Holly who bought them all for a blog post. News at 11.
Can I just get a nice, solid, neutral color? Would that be too much to ask?
