Tissue Box Covers at PB Kids

Almost as cheap as making one yourself. There is a series of tissue box covers on sale right now at Pottery Barn Kids. There's the linen one above and a cute gingham one that comes in pink, green, blue, or navy...

The Linen Tissue Cover is only $6 right now and the Gingham Tissue Holder is only $4, both down from an original price of $12. A monogram (as seen in the photo up top) more than doubles your price: it's an additional $6.50.

We think these could be used in more than just childrens' rooms; snag up these machine-washable covers for your bedroom, too.

that just seems silly to me.

I like the linen one. The gingham wouldn't fit my decor.

I wish they had one for larger tissue boxes. The little boxes run out so fast, so I like the bigger ones, but it's harder to find covers for them.

What a waste of fabric, labor and money...do people really care about covering up their boxes of Kleenex???

I suppose people who have these also have knitted poodles over their toilet rolls.

Absolutely agree with MelissaF. It's sad what people spend resources on sometimes.

And toilet tissue works just fine for noses too!

hrhprincessfiona,

Those poodles are normally crochet which makes them even TACKIER! ;-) I should know because my Aunt Bessie used to make them back in the 1970's. I loved her to death and she taught me to crocket, but even back then I thought TP covers were tacky...

These covers are not an improvement on the cardboard tissue boxes. I do like Lotta Jansdotter's tissue covers, but I would like to see them in person before purchasing. I haven't seen too many others I would want.

And Monkeyme, toilet paper just does not compare to Kleenex with Lotion! When you have a cold or your allergies are kicking up, toilet paper does not cut it.

Geeezzzz - when I had my own product design firm I was making these tissue box covers by the hundreds. I still have a few. Who knew they'd make a resurgence.
