I get tissues from Naked Paper but the boxes are so ugly! They are rectangular rather than square, please share your nice tissue box covers with me.

I don’t. But I am ridiculously picky about which tissues I buy. I have to like the box. I wander down the tissue aisle whether I need tissues or not so I can buy them whenever I see a box pattern I find sufficiently tasteful. I can’t believe I have admitted to this. I have certainly never confessed to this bit of lunacy in real life.

I only buy them in boxes I like too, so when there's a box I like I buy several. They're not going to go out of date.

i find tissue box & toilet roll covers unbearably twee.

I have this one from Next.
Really pleased with it.

That's not twee, I could live with that, but it looks huge!

I put mine in classic wicker ones. Think I just found one on Amazon but they look chic and go with everything.

Something like this.

I cannot even fathom having a life where I give any headspace to tissue boxes. I don't know whether to be jealous of you or pity you.

This is mine. His name is Reggie and he often acts as a tissue box cover by going to sleep on the box.

Ok i take it back, I DO want a tissue box cover!!

Do you never have a frivolous thought?

oh you are so cool and edgy.
I will burn all my tissue box covers in an attempt to be cool and edgy like you.

Or... don't come on a thread just to be rude and nasty? you could try that.

i have been toying with making one like that. Hmmm. Nothing to do this weekend and i want to be even more twee and whimsical than i am already.

Yet you've given headspace to this thread. 🤣

This is mine, it cost me £10 about 14/15 years ago.

Another display of MN madness, who has tissues on view? is a tissue box offensive? Dislike of rectangular tissue boxes?
OP you bought that brand knowing what they looked like, odd to complain about the box.
Oh for this to be a worry worth spending your time being upset over

I'm not complaining?

I buy that brand because they are eco friendly and sustainable. But the packaging is utilitarian and I'd like a nicer look. It's really not complicated.

What about kitchen roll? Does that need a fancy cover?

I don't use that because it's wasteful. I use cloths which live in a basket in the cupboard.

No because I have a life

Not a very pretty one though.

We buy the large fairly flat boxes of Kleenex and he drapes himself over the box or uses it as a pillow. Even better, when the box is empty you can put your front paws in it and push it around the room.

I can’t fathom having such a boring life that I bother to read and comment on threads discussing subjects that are of no interest to me…
I’m definitely feeling pity, not jealousy.

Only little bigger than the tissue cube.

These were in Tesco. I bought loads because I loved the design.

Deceptive!!

too much going on here at the moment to have a breakable tissue box cover 🙇🏻‍♀️ but good to know there are some nice, non twee ones around!

Wow that's funny too, your window sill is identical to mine!

over all (sides & height together) it is quite a bit bigger than the box by itself. & until the renovations are complete I don't have space for anything! Nor need anything else breakable! 🙇🏻‍♀️ it's a nightmare, can't wait until it's eventually finished!

thanks for indulging me! 🌷
