Handy place to keep box of Kleenex tissues

I've had a cold for the past week and thus was looking for a place to keep a box of kleenex within easy reach. I found the perfect place! On the passenger side, you can jam a full size box of kleenex between the seat adjuster and the edge of the seat and against the center console. It appears to float in the air about six inches above the floor. It looks like it would fall out but hasn't yet. It seems to be of minimal inconvenience when a passenger sits in the right hand seat.

I'd post a picture of this but haven't figured out how to do this. Perhaps someone else could try this and post a photo.

I have terrible allergies, and I usually just keep a bunch of paper napkins in the glove box, then stuff the used ones in the cup holder.

I was surprised when the Kleenex box just slipped right in there:



Though I still like the left-side cubby hole for the mini Kleenex box for those "low flow" days:

Since you have a 2009, maybe some small sizes could fit in the netted door. You could get an armrest, some of them have a storage area that opens up. But it sounds like you're wanting a larger size setup.

If your allergies are so serious that you're posting threads about where to put tissues, I'd check out your options at hospitals in your area. You really should consider getting allergy shots. If you don't have insurance, then you may still be able to get them at either a reduced price or free. I'm not sure about California, but here in Connecticut if you are a resident you can go to Yale Hospital. They'll do allergy blood work (about $2,000) and the first visit with the doctor (about $500). Then depending on the results, you'll get a weekly shot for the next 48 weeks, then monthly shots for the next 1 to 3 years. Each shot generally runs $60 (it varies). However, if you are low income (Yale-New Haven Hospital considers low income anything below $48k (add $14k for each dependent), then Yale trusts will cover 60% of the costs, if you are at what Yale Hospital considers poverty $28k (add $9k for each dependent) then Yale waves the entire cost. You can own a house and cars. It's strictly income based, however if you are married then they base eligibility on your husband/wife's income. It's different than social services, so it's completely separate from federal/state welfare. I say all of this because people suffer year after year with allergies thinking they have to live in misery, and there likely are options out there. The doctors will of course make sure you've tried Rx alternatives first before proceeding with allergy shots and the test results should have 3s and 4s down the list of possible allergens. (It's a 0 to 4 scale) At least that is how Health care works in Connecticut.
