That way I can keep a bunch of small stashes hidden around the house and in my purse, and I don't have to look at an unsightly tissue box. It got me through a pretty harsh round of colds this past winter. But if your allergies are really bad, I suppose mini tissue packs may not be big enough to be useful.

But I haven't run out of the original tissues yet (no allergies!) so I can't say whether my scheme will actually, um, work.

Not reusable of course, but there's a green toile patterned one I love! Trader Joes has really cute boxes of tissue that are 99 cents each.

Some alternatives if you don't want the bare your tissues: Plain covers, like these from West Elm: http://tinyurl.com/3e9w59 Pottery Barn has lots of options, from lacquer to wood to metal (as do Target, etc.)...If you want a bit more of an old-school pharmacy/french flea market feel, maybe this one? http://tinyurl.com/4bmokn I think the question was actually about boxes that tissue come in, but I think you're better off just getting a simple cover.

I have been searching for something nice (actually three somethings - three different rooms) for months. I love the toro too but haven’t dared try it in a house with two kids under 4.
