Mainstays Oval Natural Seagrass Storage Basket with Cut-Out Handles

This basket is just a perfect size to be a gift basket of all sorts of things. I put some baby gifts in it and now the new moms can use it for ointments, lotions, baby powder, etc. I made diaper babies, using baby socks as beanies and wash cloths as blankets. Newborn diapers rolled up for the babies. I normally have them in cellophane bags with bows on them. Socks, baby outfits, wash cloths, baby blankets and towels with hoods, all from Walmart. Diapers too.

Very nice item for many uses, but I would line it if using for material items, as it flakes some straw off. Dry. Perfect for gift baskets, nice size to stuff with goodies for friends and business associates, which is my main use. Nice price, well-made, just flakes some straw pieces occasionally in handling. Fairly lightweight too. Just as pictured.

i like the firmness of this. and the size. It's not too big to make it cumbersome and not too small to limit its usefulness, great price, and classic color.

This is a beautiful basket and it is a great value! It's very sturdy and so pretty. I am definitely going to buy more. I bought it originally to hold "stuff" that piles up in our bedroom but that needs to be accessible - remotes, the small dog bones and toys that pile up in our bedroom from our 5-lb Chihuahua (gosh, he has a LOT of stuff), wipes for ears and teeth, supplements we give him, etc. When I got it I thought it might be too big for that but it's perfect. Since then, I've thought about the other uses for a basket like this so, as mentioned above, I have them on my list to buy another couple. I am going to put one in my messy office to hide away all the stuff that is always on my desk when I'm working. Mouse, headphone charger, pens, scissors, ruler any the remote for my webcam. It's still messy in terms of my organization but will look so much better when tucked away in this elegant basket at the end of the work day to give me the impression of a clean office when I step in there to work again. The third one will be used in the covered section of our pool lanai. It's a great size for holding sunscreen, bug spray, a hat, a coverup, a charger - anything I might need when sitting by the pool. Then same idea - I can throw everything in the basket and put it to the side until next time! Each time I use the pool area, I will be able to pick it up, place it by a lounger and relax!!

I used this mainstays oval basket to present a raffle prize at my school’s fundraiser. It was a great basket and fit a large quantity! I love how there are handles which makes it a breeze to transport. Also can be used as storage or for home decor after the fundraiser.

If you’re looking for a gift basket, but don’t want to spend a lot, this one is perfect. It’s larger than it appears, and it’s sturdy. I’ve bought the same basket several times for bath/cosmetic gifts for grandchildren.

This is the second time I've purchased this product. It's a great size to make gift baskets for fundraisers. It's very sturdy and easy to carry when it's full.

the basket itself is great, but they stage it in the photos holding fruit. the tag says you should NOT be using it to hold fruit lol which is unfortunately the reason i purchased

Arrived already tearing apart. Nothing that some glue or extra rope can't fix~ however another “project” was not my goal; otherwise I would have gone thrifting.

Attractive basket. I ordered 2;one was just ok, however the second one had so many loose ends that I spent 2 hours sewing and super gluing loose ends to hold it securely together. This was a Shipping order!! Pick out this basket yourself!!! Do not use delivery or shipping. Janet Bates
