This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Kleenex but all my opinions are my own.
Let's just talk about allergies for a minute shall we? If you know me in "real life", you know that I am pretty much allergic to the world. When people ask what allergies I have, I usually say the same thing "if it's alive and not human, I'm allergic to it." You would think that winter would be my favorite season. It's the only time my eyes aren't watering, my throat isn't itching and my nose doesn't become an unending faucet - and let's not discuss how many times I have to answer the question "Are you sick?" in the middle of fall. Due to my unending allergies, there's one thing that I can tell you a lot about --- tissues -- and apparently it's a trait that I have passed onto my oldest child.
Poor Macie seems to have all of the allergies that I have. Right now she is in a hard core battle with her nose. It will not stop running. Her little puffy eyes and runny nose make her look a little pathetic and I feel awful about it. I carry Kleenex Pocket Packs in my diaper bag at all times because of the faucet we call a nose. They fit into the outside pocket or one of the inside slots perfectly and I can usually grab one in time…usually. Oh and they come in cute packages that match my sunglasses, bonus!
Quinn had to go to the pediatrician the other day for a well visit and Macie must have looked particularly sad because the nurse gave her an entire box of hospital grade tissues to hold while we were in the exam room. You know the kind - thin, scratchy, tears when you blow so you need about 15, leaves your nose wondering if you just used sandpaper on it - yeah, those. Macie thought she was hot stuff because she had her "own tissues" until she had to use one. Her nose was running and I told her to blow it so she proudly grabs a tissue. She suddenly made a horrible face and announced that the tissue "feels funny." Yup in that moment my two year became a tissue snob. She dropped the box of sandpaper tissues and asked me for one of mine. She now loves to have a little Kleenex Pocket Pack with her. Never mind that I keep full boxes of tissues all over the house, she needs her own.
This weekend Macie was having a pretty rough allergy bout (and mine weren't exactly a picnic) so I ran to Target and grabbed a hefty supply of Kleenex. As a special bonus, right now at Target when you buy a Kleenex 4-pack (is there another way to buy them??) and use this handy dandy coupon you get a FREE wallet pack (2 pk) or pocket pack (3 pk) - while supplies last of course, but seriously HELLO. FREE Kleenex for on the go?? Sign me up. Today Macie's extra runny nose led to her sitting down with my laptop to watch Winnie the Pooh and her trusty Kleenex.
I'm not going to lie, I may be going back to Target for a second stock up trip. I have a feeling between allergies and cold season on the way and my newly found tissue snob, we're going to need them…
… plus they match my bathroom so perfectly! And no, I don't leave my Kleenex on the floor but I wanted to prove that they really do match perfectly. It's like this box was made just for me. Ha.
Here's the coupon so you can get some free Kleenex from Target too!!
