Another good use I found is save your newspaper plastic sleeves, put them in the square keenix box. I keep one in my car and one in my house to have handy when I walk my small dog. When I go for walks when traveling or walking from home I always have the boxes of bags handy when I need them to pick up the dogs waste.

All such wonderful ideas for tissue boxes! I use mine for thread pieces and empty spools. I love the idea for the binding. Now, just need to find an empty box. Figures too, since we all just recovered from colds and I threw them away.
