Where to store tissues/kleenex box?

Are there any suggestions for where to keep a small box of Kleenex in a 2012 Fit? Preferably the small cube-shaped box, approx 4.5" in each dimension.

In my 2002 Civic, I would set it (with some other items) on the rear seat floor, just behind the center console. Easily accessible to the front seats. But in the Fit, when I fold the rear seats flat, they collapse lower and fill all that space. It appears nothing can be permanently stored on the rear seat floor. I looked at some storage organizers that hang on the back of the front seats, but folding the rear seats flat would interfere with those.

2010 Honda Fit Sport.

I was aggravated by this for years, but finally came up with something that worked for me.

I use the standard rectangular Kleenex box. On the bottom of the box, I cut two slits on each end and slide in two 3/4" diameter neodymium magnets. On the inside of the upper glove box door I taped two more of the magnets about the same distance apart as the magnets on the back of the Kleenex box. Close the glove box door and put the Kleenex box on the front. The box is held by the magnets. Very easy to reach a tissue. I'll take a photo and post it later. For some reason, it actually looks pretty cool...maybe because you just see an box of Kleenex sort of hanging there unsupported.

They should make a kleenex box that fits into a cupholder.

It turns out they do make a kleenex box that fits into a cupholder. Probably not worth the price though

Great idea regarding magnets, Bowbridge! I hadn't considered that. I'll give some thought to doing that with the glove box door, or maybe elsewhere, like the side of the center console.
