Free cardboard boxes?
I am nearing the end of my shopping for the kids next door, and now I need a few free cardboard boxes to use for gifting. I could buy nice purpose-built gift boxes at PBC (e.g.) but I'd rather spend that money on cat food. Anyone have any ideas where I might try? The Lucky's on Sihanouk didn't have any they wanted to spare.

So far I've gotten two of the four boxes I need for free by inquiring at the front desks of hotels, so if anyone has any further ideas on other candidate establishments for sourcing the other two I'd be very grateful -- thanks again!

Don't know if this would work in the big city, but in the village the owners of the mom and pop stores are delighted to give them to give us. We put old clothes in them when it gets cold and use them for warmth for our two dogs in dry season.
