Large box of cardboard packaging (Wigmore ME8)

Got a big box of shredded cardboard here — you know the stuff. Springy, crinkly, brown, and surprisingly satisfying to plunge your hand into.

It's not the fancy honeycomb kind or those little styrofoam peanuts. Just good honest cardboard boxes that have been shredded into curly, springy strips and crammed into a bigger cardboard box. Humble, but useful

Perfect for packing fragile items for storage or moving, lining a pet bed for a rabbit, guinea pig or chicken (they LOVE this stuff), mulching around plants in the garden, keeping draughts out of a gap somewhere, or — and I cannot stress this enough — giving to a child or a cat and watching them go absolutely feral with joy.

Completely free, completely cardboard, and waiting patiently in my hallway looking slightly embarrassed about how much space it's taking up.
