Introduction
Tissues are something we use virtually every day, so we tend to take them for granted. As long as there's something within reach to clean up the mess or wipe our noses with, we're fine... or are we? I'm starting to think that we should really put a bit more thought into buying tissues, because as we all know, not all tissues are created equal. Plus, in these trying economic times, isn't it best to get value for our hard-earned money?
What would you consider when buying a box of tissues for your home, car or office? The price? The quality? Well, it's not every day that you'll find a review on a box of tissues, so let me give you my honest opinion on this one.
I put this box of Kleenex tissues through five 'tests' and here's what I found:
Test 1 - The look
These days, a box of tissues isn't just, well, a box of tissues anymore. It can be a decorative piece too. Heck, it can even make a "statement".. yeah, I said it! If you care enough about your home to match a box of tissues with your home decor, it speaks volumes about your attention to detail, doesn't it? I have to say that I like the look of this box of Kleenex Vintage. It's got a beige background with silhouettes of a girl, a cat and some shrubs in brown. It's pretty and feminine, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it suits me just fine.
