Stylish touches for flu season

When fall arrives, I usually come down with a cold. That’s just how my immune system rolls.

While I await my autumn sniffles, I take some comfort in the fact that there are some very cute tissue boxes on the market. Yes, perhaps it’s small comfort. But when you’re congested and gross and schlepping around the house in your jammies, isn’t it nice to know that at least the tissue box youre totting will be stylish?

Take this pretty little number from Scottie (pictured above). The box is designe designed by Umbra and you can get a pack of three different styles for under five bucks. I dig the sleek design and cool colour pallate’it’s nature-themed without resorting to the usual kittens-in-a-basket motif. So I’ll probably stock up on a few of these boxes to help boost my spirits when I get that inevitable runny nose.

What makes you feel better when you’re sick?
