HELP, DL! I Need Your Creative Ideas and/or Suggestions!

Who cares about the 📦

How was the cake 🍰?

God, OP. Are you like my partner, who saves every bag, too?

Get a black Sharpie and write FAT WHORES REJOICE! all over the box.

Now, you have a masterpiece of modern art!

Nope, R2.

BTW: The inscription inside the box is: "Chocolate Doesn't Ask Silly Questions"

Just in case some of you can gather some inspiration from that. The linked image is an example of the insides of the cake box

An urn for your eventual ashes, OP.

Use it to hold all your dildos and lube.

A "memory box" you can fill with trinkets, love letters, photographs and other bits and bobs from your life. Then when you're old and infirmed, you can sit in your LazyBoy at the home and reminisce all day what you were able to do at one time.

Or, make a great casket for when your cat dies.

My one limited idea was to waterproof the box and use it as a container that would hold a small indoor herb garden. It could be no more than 5 herbs: Parsley, Mint, and maybe 3 others, that would sit on my kitchen counter top. I mean... "Eataly", fresh herbs (if I don't kill them), kitchen?

I'd use it to toss mail or other papers until I had the chance to sort through it.

Put your Cha Cha heels in it OP. (You fat whore).

Use it to store a cute little pillbox hat, miss thing!

Cak pr0n

is that box cardboard? I think it's ugly especially with the logo for anything much other than holding the cake. Keep cards, letters, other trinkets in it if you like it maybe.

[quote]is that box cardboard?

It is cardboard.

R14 sounds very difficult to waterproof in that case unless you put it inside another box.

I would repurpose it by filling up the garbage dump with it.

I throw boxes and bags like that away, mostly because I don't want to crap up my house with some failed "herb garden" or whatever. I don't think the box is even that attractive, let alone full of dirt.

No offense, OP, you asked Datalounge for opinions.

And Eataly is for posers!

Just imagine the array (in the link) in the cake box sitting on my kitchen counter.

[quote][R14] sounds very difficult to waterproof in that case unless you put it inside another box.

The box would just be like a cover. Some drop of water drainage receptacle would be needed to placed within the box to catch the extra water as the plants drain from watering.

And, that is your opinion. Thanks, for sharing!

people on this website are fucking weird.

R17, shops at Dollar Tree

Perfect place to store your black-tar heroin and various paraphernalia! The cops will never suspect.

Could a human head fit inside?

I honestly would throw it out, but I feel like I am constantly in a hoard trying to dig myself out so I try to avoid any impulse to save ANYTHING. The one way I would use it is if I was going to someone's house who I didn't really like and I would put an ACME cake in the box to make it look fancy. OR if you save recipes (which I hope you don't b/c of the whole hoarding thing) it would be good as a recipe box. It is hard when things like that are so thoughtful and unique (the packaging) but it doesn't mean it needs to occupy my space.

We live in a throw away society, so throw it away.

I supposed you can put in some silk flower and either : a) hang the straps by your front door to use as a key holder. Or b) you can put it on your dining table with cake topper to use as a centerpiece.

just storage something inside of it and put it somewhere that you what too.

Maybe put toiletries inside, place in the cabinet, on furniture or even on the floor somewhere?

I think it's kind of tacky. I'm probably too middle class for this but logos of companies are tacky to me. Even worse if it's a cardboard box that was meant to be disposable.

put stuff inside and stick it somewhere. On top of your Refrig.

This is how hoarding starts. There is no good reason to one to hold on to an old cake box. No offense intended OP.

Slightly off-topic, but this reminds me of a time a (rightfully former) friend gave me a bottle of champagne, in a Cristal box. The bottle inside the box was not Cristal. It felt like a slap in the face. Although the box was beautiful, [bold]it served no purpose[/bold].

*for one

R29 Amazing. I'd be like 'WTF'.

You could do small plants potted in terracotta pots with trays underneath. No need to waterproof it. I have a canvass box on top of my refrigerator that I keep medicine in.

[quote] It is hard when things like that are so thoughtful and unique (the packaging) but it doesn't mean it needs to occupy my space.

Good point. While it could be someone's well thought out and creatively done piece a cake box is still a cake box...

wash cloths and hand towels and place somewhere.

Take it back to the store and ask for a refill.

OP, I’d use it for wrapping a gift. The typical gift that would go in a box like that is a care package - you know, a random assortment of chocolate, crackers, tea, jam, candles, socks, magazines, soap, small liquor bottles, whatever you know someone would like.

[quote]You could do small plants potted in terracotta pots with trays underneath. No need to waterproof it.

That's my thought, R32. I would want to waterproof it and/or have some type of lacquer protectant so that it could be wiped down ever so often to rid it of dust or grease since I plan to have it situated in the my kitchen. But, maybe I don't need to do either. The plants that I would want it to hold are a few different herbs.

[quote]wash cloths and hand towels and place somewhere.

AH! Not a bad idea! I could envision a nice display that would hold nice and crisp bar cloths that can be grabbed and used.

[quote]Take it back to the store and ask for a refill.

An even better idea!

R37 Wouldn't the person be expecting an Eataly cake though? Feels like cheap repurposing.

I meant to write R36 in my previous post.

But while I suspected it all along, I think that OP probably is trolling now.

Decoupage it and use it to store your crafting supplies!

The heads of four misbehaved neighborhood children.

[quote]I think that OP probably is trolling now.

NOPE! My question is quite genuine and sincere.

[quote]And Eataly is for posers!

Hmm... That's debatable, R17. Many times I do and buy things because they are different (or creative) and will spark conversation and/or even just make me laugh or smile every time I see it. For example; I detest Louis Vuitton for various reasons. BUT... I bought the following sheet set (which I use as a couch throw and pillow cover set) that is linked to spark conversation and to kind of make me laugh everyday I see it. It has accomplished that on both levels. What is funny (or rather, what I find funny) is that when the sheets are laundered that I'm always asked about where I bought them, how much they cost ,etc. When I have people over the first thing out their mouths along with their ogling/mystified eyes is about the Louis Vuitton couch cover. LOL!

I like Eataly. It's representative of NYC for me. It would be a piece of NYC right in my kitchen.

Here you go OP…

R8, for it! Send us pics.

There are Eatalys scattered across the US.

And there’s one in Canada, FFS!

Cut out the bottom of the box, lay face down in bed, place the box over your ass and let your significant other Eataly your ass.

The next time you're asked to bring a dessert to a dinner party, buy a Sara Lee cake and present it to the host/hostess in the Eataly box. Then they can do the same thing for the next office birthday party where they've been asked to get the cake.

After reading the LV couch cover story, I'm convinced that OP has to be a troll.

Miss Gurl, it would make the perfect traveling makeup/toiletries case.

Eataly is for tacky Poors who want to feel piss elegant for a day.

You could Modge Podge it! Make it a treasured keepsake that will be passed down from one whore in the family to the next!

The design possibilities are ENDLESS!

It is beautiful - I could sleep in that place.

Just throw it in the hoarder pile.

[quote]Just throw it in the hoarder pile.

Is it hoarding if it is being used and serves a purpose? I mean... c'mon, folks! ANYTHING can be used as a planter which is my original plan for the cake box. I think that it is a nice box and I would like to make use of it. If it doesn't work or doesn't look right then I'll just discard it. I just thought that with the many "creative" people on this site someone might have alternative suggestions/ideas. Step out of your limited comfort zone for a second and tell me how different is using a nice cake box as planter different than the image that is linked?

[quote]Eataly is for tacky Poors who want to feel piss elegant for a day.

GOOD! At least it will spark a reaction/emotion!
