I got a nice box today from Liggetts, and had some extra added fun!
They wrap their products for shipping in conventional materials, but the extra box space is filled with pages from the local newspaper.
I enjoy local newspapers, so made a point of flattening out the pages and seeing what was going on ... I found an interesting national article about problems in major league baseball caused by there not being enough spanish translators to let the imported players know what's going on, another about pill-splitting being encouraged by insurance companies to cut prescription med costs, pictures of a local patriotic parade, and, best of all, a story about how a mommy moose got hit by a car and killed on the highway, and the baby moose was taken by the EMTs to a nearby farm that had box stalls in an attempt to rescue it. The baby moose was later taken to a wildlife rehab center to get better care.
So that was my bonus ... the box itself contained some varieties of the shampoo my hippie grocery store doesn't carry (herbal and lavendar & tea tree oil), a camping/travel carrier for the bar, and some of their other products, including a the white sage body scrub and a skin repair cream. The skin repair stuff smells significantly better than my beloved Bag Balm and seems not to be a sticky following application, so depending on how my elbows react to it, might be a real winner. The body scrub will be tested during tomorrow's shower.
