Kleenex

I haven't decided if this is a good (gift, joke) idea or a waste of money. But here it is. During Christmas I saw an endcap at Meijer of these oval shaped boxes of Kleenex. I prefer Puffs, but for my car I guess it doesn't matter. I used to buy a small box that would fit perfectly in the space above the cup holders but I can't find those anywhere around town anymore. (the last time I found them was 5 years ago in Clare, MI)

So I bought this Christmas oval hoping it would fit into that spot or that I could squish it to fit. I couldn't but I can just set it on the passenger side floor. I think I paid $2.49 or $2.99 something like that.

Now I see Kleenex has a website, we you can purchase an oval for $4.99 plus shipping and design your own package. You can upload pictures, add text and pick the color of the container. It's kind of cute. I didn't want to sign up for an account because I'm too cheap (frugal?) to buy any so I wasn't able to see how much shipping is. Other than that, it's an easy to use website.

I suppose that it's one way for Kimberly Clarke to expand their brand. And for that you have to congratulate their marketing team.
