I looked at several lists of the top inventions of all time. Some had the wheel as #1. Others had fire, as #1. Is fire really an invention? One item that I did not see on any list was the box. Come on, the box has to at least make the top 100.
I can understand that the printing press, computer, and penicillin are all more important than the box. But all the lists have the refrigerator. What is a refrigerator? A box! I rest my case.
When it comes to boxes, you could design a new one every day for the rest of time. Just take a look around your home. You will see a lot of boxes. They basically hold things but try to imagine life without boxes. What would the UPS guy do? Santa would be in a world of hurt. Shoes would be sold in bags. Now that would be weird.
No box lunches. No glove box in your car. Where would you put your insurance card? No lockbox at the post office. And what about the mailbox? How are you going to get your Reader's Digest? No, I don't want a digital version of Readers Digest!
If you like boxes then this pattern is for you.

Philips Norelco MG5760/40 Multigroom 5000, with Storage Case
Are you needing a hair cut while in lockdown? I purchased this set of trimmers and I can say that the quality is good. I can't say that I have any idea how to cut hair but something had to be done. The included attachments make it harder to really screw up. With the help of my wife we got it done.
- All-in-one trimmer for face, head and body styling: 18 pieces for all your trimming needs: a metal trimmer, a detail metal trimmer, a nose and ear trimmer, an extra-wide hair trimmer, 6 hair trimming guards, 3 beard trimming guards, 2 stubble trimming guards, 2 body trimming guards, a storage bag and a cleaning brush
- Enjoy maximum precision with DualCut technology, which includes 2x more blades. The steel blades lightly brush against one another – sharpening themselves as they work. This results in blades that are sharp as day 1 after 4 years of use
- Powerful lithium battery delivering 3 hours of cordless run time, or use while plugged in for continuous use
- To deliver maximum torque and power, the trimmer includes a full-metal motor and a drive train that's been reinforced with tempered steel
- Our unique cutting guards are reinforced with ultra-strong fiberglass material to prevent bending and buckling, ensuring an even trim every time
