Tissue boxes have certainly upped their style game in recent years, but the sea of floral prints and ocean-like patterns that meet you in the paper goods aisle isn't always inspiring. That's why these cheeky box covers from Etsy seller Sparkly Pony (gotta love that name) made us instantly giddy.

The pastel animal shapes are adorable alone (just look at that twee little elephant!), but the genius move to incorporate the tissue itself into the design earns them a prize in our book. A dinosaur's spike, a bunny's puffy tail, and even a whale's spout are delightfully silly in tissue form. And for just $40, they're a happy conversation piece that's worth the minor splurge. You'll never be more glad to nurse a runny nose.
