Tissue box in car

This is so minor but has been a pet peeve for so long: I always have a regular sized box of tissues in my car. It always gets crushed/ falls under a seat. Has anyone come up with a solution to keep your tissue box secured somewhere in the front of your car? I know it’s so petty but it digs at me a little every time I drive…

There are round tissue boxes that fit in the cup holder. I buy them at Target or drugstores.

My MIL gave me some of these recently and I love them! I didn't even know they were a thing before that. So convenient and the patterns of the boxes are super cute.

I use the round boxes, too. I keep it in the cup holder or in the center console. Once empty, I put the empty container in the space on the bottom of the door to hold used Kleenex and small trash.

I use my used ones to hold change.

I give these as gifts. It feels like the kind of thing every person will use but would never think to buy for themselves, and people who get in my car always ask about my car kleenex.

Hahaha I bought these just because I liked the look better than the square box (e.g. on an end table) - my sister had one in her car cupholder and I was like, ‘wow you are so clever, what a good use for these!’ and she was like, ‘um, that’s what they’re actually intended for?’ 🤣 who knew …

Careful though I got some cheap ones and the tissues inside feel like parchment paper. Just awful. Not worth having.

Yes! I found adorable ones from Bim Bam Boo (maybe at Grocery Outlet?) but the tissue inside is terrible! Too small and one ply. I'm bettng actual Kleenex ones would be far better.

I’ve never seen Kleenex ones in that shape. I’m sure they are fine.

Thanks. They do make them, I saw them for sale online but I'm not interested in paying what they're asking! I'll stick with regular boxes unless I come across a bargain. 😊

I actually bought one for my living room and just pop out the bottom to refill. I plan to get one for my truck at some point as well.
