Why You Shouldn't Throw Christmas Gift Boxes on the Curb

Read in Browser
 

December 24, 2022

Christmas is over here, believe it or not. And as we all get ready to give and receive and partake in the joy of spending time with family ripping apart that wrapping paper, the crew here is here to give you one last piece of advice: Don’t throw out your Christmas boxes.

And I don’t mean, “recycle them instead,” though that is a good thing to do. No, there’s a secondary concern when you toss out your Christmas boxes, whether that be in the garbage can or (better yet) the recycling bin. You probably shouldn’t choose either. Hit up the top story to find out why and what to do instead.

Other Highlights:

  • If you enjoy board and card games, you might have heard the term “Living Card Games.” Sounds strange, right? Well, let us teach you all about them.
  • Oh boy, did a lot of information about several unreleased Pixel phones come to light.
  • Would you buy a $300 wireless charger? What if it had Tesla branding?
  • … and more!
