The joys of empty boxes

Amy's latest haiku rings true. Who hasn't thought of simply wrapping up an empty box as a gift for one's children?

Other ideas:

Their own rolls of Scotch tape
Their own boxes of Kleenex to gleefully empty

Ha! We did the "own rolls of Scotch tape" thing. The tape was slightly tinted. It had the unintentional side effect that I could see just who had been sticking it to which items of furniture!

Tissue boxes! Rose gleefully pulls out one tissue after another until the box is empty. We find her surrounded by a pile of unused tissues and an empty box looking at the box. Her expression and non verbal comments tells us in a sad tone, "It's broken! Give me another one."
