Where do you keep your tissue boxes?

[Anonymous]

nightstands & end tables in our two living rooms. None have a cover.

I don’t have them out unless someone is sick. Thank goodness it’s not that often.

Every room in the house. No covers.
We are a family of people with allergies.

What is gross about keeping one in the bathroom? I keep them all over for easy access, but like to have one in the bathroom, partly as backup to if we unexoectedly run out!

box in each bathroom (the one in the master bath is covered, the others aren't. They sit on the vanity.) DH blows his nose after every shower.

if someone is sick, we will put a box in their room.

Everywhere, no covers. Just like I don't put a doily on the coffee table, or a bow on the cat. It's a house with a busy family, not a plastic surgeon's waiting room.

On the back of the toilet in each bathroom. That's it. There is a bathroom on each level of our house, and not a lot of extra surface area to put boxes elsewhere, or maybe I would.

Box covers seem very old fashioned, and extraneous.

I think my husband might have a stroke if I spent $54 on a tissue box cover.

Uncovered in every room of the house.

I only have them in the guest bathrooms, but for me I only use tissues if I have a cold. Otherwise I grab some toilet paper when needed.

Everyone has a box on their bedside table, and then there are boxes in most other rooms. Covers make me think of those toilet seat covers, it seems very Victorian. It's just a box of tissues, it's not obscene. I'm surprised by the PPs who only buy them people are sick - don't you sometimes need to blow your nose at other times? Maybe just me! And yes, I know about handkerchiefs but I don't like them and I can't imagine carrying them around with me - for one thing, I don't always wear clothes with pockets.

We have baskets of handkerchiefs in every bedroom, because they can be tossed in the hampers easily. Tissue boxes live on the main floor, and they tend to roam.

Night stands in Master and guest bedroom. If I have a cold, one travels with me around the house. No covers.
