Today is Father's Day. I bought my dad two packets of handkerchiefs, which came in a plastic box. Now in those two plastic boxes, there was a piece of card to keep them standing up straight in the box. In the hankies themselves, they each had a roll of card/paper to keep them standing up as a roll. There were 5 hankies in each box. So that makes 10 pieces of paper, 2 pieces of card and two plastic boxes. I had to throw away the plastic, as I didn't think I could recycle it. But the other bits went for recycling. Although most of it has gone for recycling, I still think that this was too much packaging. I did make up for it in a way. I put the boxes in a gift bag, but didn't sign the card on the bag so I can use it again and again, which I will do.
So, do you think this was too much packaging for two boxes of hankies? Let me know.
