Most people only think of boxes when they are moving. Truth
is, boxes can be useful at almost any time. I remember growing up and my mom
always had a cardboard box ready to throw anything that was on the kitchen
table when guests were coming over. Now that I think of it I really remember
using boxes many times in our daily lives.
I remember awkward food items that we needed to store in
boxes. I also remember my mom selling her cookies during holidays. She needed
candy boxes for that.
Check out these boxes you may have heard of or seen yet
never thought to purchase for your own needs.
Like mentioned above, my mom often used candy boxes to store
cookies and pastries she sold during the holiday season. The boxes are
specifically built to house these beautiful creations and ensure each one is separated
and neat. I also remember the box having a plastic film on top so people could
look inside and see their delicious treats waiting for them. I could also see
these boxes be useful for any kind of other surprise.
Dish boxes are also something very few people even think
about. The boxes are corrugated and have a piece within them to keep dishes
separate. This provides multiple layers of protection for the dishes inside. If
you want to make sure the dishes will not crack while laying against each
other, then this box is your best bet. Smaller things like holiday decorations
could also be stored in boxes like this.
Ever heard the phrase “Well the lampshade’s on fire when the
lights go out”? Yeah, we hadn’t either until Modest Mouse made it popular.
Nonetheless, these types of boxes fit your lamps and lampshades. Talk about specialty boxes! They help make awkward
objects (lamps) not as awkward as they have to be in transit. They’ll fit small
lamps, big lamps, and lamps as big as your head! You may have gotten by before
by shoving lamps in whatever boxes you wanted before when you moved, but
knowing these babies exist will make you want to invest in a few for safe
transport of some of your nicer, more esoteric furniture. Lamps are, quite
honestly, a nice little piece of art at times. Don’t sacrifice their value for
a subpar box.
