Optical Illusion Tissue Boxes Are the Hottest Thing



Tissue boxes have traditionally been rather dull cardboard boxes, but now they’re going in a more stylish direction. Tissue boxes with a variety of subjects are the hottest thing. Take, for example, the ballerina tissue box. The box looks like a mini stage with a ballerina wearing a flowing white skirt, but if you take a closer look, the “skirt” is actually made of the tissue you pull out of the box. Its shape is randomly determined by the placement of the tissue, so you’ll likely never see the same skirt twice. Made of acrylic, it’s designed to fit most tissue boxes, and features a built-in touch-sensitive night light with LED illumination for easy use at night. This playful idea for a tissue box cover isn't the only one on the market. They follow a similar visual illusion and feature characters such as 1950s pin up girls, and even a design that shows a “magic rabbit” holding a magician’s top hat and, instead of pulling a rabbit out of the hat, you pull tissues. All of these items are available on Etsy and Amazon.
