Abstract
A holding device for temporarily attaching a facial tissue box or similar container to a supporting structure such as glove box door, sun visor, window, bed railing or headboard, or similar. The device is removably attachable to both the box and the supporting structure. Two laterally projecting arms grip the box while a clip attaches to the structure. The arms may comprise hooks, points or other features designed to enhance their grip on a paperboard, or similar, box. These features may optionally penetrate, crimp, or depress the side of the container. If desired, one or both of the arms may be adjustable to accommodate a range of box widths and/or depths.
