[Fluxx] Tuck boxes

I use the plastic boxes (there's a specific word for the type of  
plastic they are, but I can't remember it at the moment) which gaming  
stores sell for Magic: The Gathering players. They're large enough  
for 1 Fluxx+1Blanxx, plus about 10 Fluxx stickers, a small number of  
mini-catalogs, and my printed Mad Lab Rabbit cards. I stuck a Fluxx  
sticker on the outside so I'd know which box was for Fluxx. The  
plastic boxes are not large enough for a Chrononauts deck+promo cards/ 
identity booster. Neither is the Chrononauts tuck box. Right now, my  
deck is in a rubber-band, but I dislike that storage method. The  
plastic box is about $10, but lasts longer than a cardboard tuck box  
and is very nice-looking.

When I do a spontaneous demo at a coffee shop, the whole presentation  
looks very slick, as I can interrupt a game, explain what it is,  
invite them to play, and ensure they take a mini-catalog and, if  
there's a child, a sticker, with them. I hand out the Mad Lab Rabbit  
cards if I teach them, but the MLR cards lack some information, like  
my email address if they want to follow up with a question, and any  
value-add for the person receiving them. So mainly I use them in more  
formal demos, where I don't have to explain why I want them to know  
who I am.

Also, a side note: If you want a blank deck of cards, LLabs used to  
sell blank decks of cards for designing any card game. I haven't seen  
them on the site recently, but I've seen blank decks of generic cards  
elsewhere which can be handy for custom games.
