But It's a Good box....

Haha this is so me!! They are pretty and you think nah I’ll keep them so I can store items in them but don’t actually use them lol

I’m using one to store skincare items and a Disney cup box using to put phone charging cable and plug in there that sits on top of my bookcase!

Yes. I know what you mean. Same as bags. Glad it's not just me. Makes me feel normal. Thanks for that comment

I get worryingly excited when I spy a good box, but I have to be quick to grab it before it gets dumped.

Oooooooh, guilty - you got me on this one. I always like to keep strong small boxes in case I need one to put broken glass in before disposing of it in the refuse bags. I hate to think of a worker cutting themselves. I just like strong boxes of all sorts though as I like to upcycle them with my arts and crafts.

this is so me I am just the same can't help myself, but my husband wants to bin them all. I always think will be handy at some point

I end up reusing boxes to ship stuff and pack it with newspaper scraps to avoid bumps inside.

Not me l cannot keep/ hoard anything, l tend to put them outside my home with a sign saying 'Free, please take' sometimes l say to myself 'l wished l kept that one' but by then it's too late then

Like to keep a few decent quality boxes as I like to make gift hampers for people.

This is me too, how strange . Ideal for Christmas so you can wrap things up easily or present the gift better.

I find some things that are for gifts are easier to put in a box and wrap, no awkward shapes to get your paper around so always keep hold of different sized boxes for this reason.

Yes this me too, I keep all cardboard boxes as they act as good packaging in other boxes if you’re sending stuff in the post and I keep the larger boxes for storing stuff - my spare room is a nightmare. I like the other LD members will also use them for putting presents in for ease of wrapping and for disguising

I must admit I have this obsession lol out loft is full of boxes, I always feel at some point they will come on handy

Every time you get rid of a good box you need one, so I believe it is always good to keep a few rather than putting them straight into the recycling, you never know when you will need one.

I recently used an old mower box to empty a cupboard that the plumber might need to go through to fit a water softener and what a useful box it was, I would have had saucepans everywhere if I hadn't kept the box. As it happens he found a space behind the cupboard to put the pipe, but, I didn't know that and wanted to be prepared, just in case.

I saw a cartoon not long ago that said.... "Are you even a mum if you don't have a bag of bags kept somewhere?"

Same with boxes at my house, it's like jenga trying to fit them all inside each other. Oddly they all get used during the year, I don't throw that many away.

Yes I do...I try & save them for giving presents to friends fir Christmas. birthday or to show I care..

Like a few people have said on this post gifts are easier to box up & wrap...

My cats LOVE their boxes ..

They can be found lounging in them by the conservatory window, they have cat beds & have the run of our house but they love their cardboard boxes...

I will keep a good bag as they are always handy for shopping but I never keep boxes. They just get put into the recycling.

I save mine and make up my own boxes for Christmas etc
