We own a couple of Reisenthel Market Baskets for use around the house for books and magazines; impromptu picnics; clean baby laundry; farmers market shopping; crochet projects; and anything else we can think of.
The design is great -- good looking, sturdy and the handle can collapse down for storage. We just stumbled upon the scaled down kid-sized Reisenthel basket so your little one can have one for herself. But even better than the original, the kids' version has a drawstring closure to keep contents inside. They retail for about $30.

looks like a tiny bugaboo! cool!
Totally cute! I bought a full-sized flowery one for my mother for her birthday and had her initials monogrammed on the top. She loved it! I think everyone's getting one of these for Christmas - myself included!
On sale right now at Garnet Hill (I believe this is the correct size):

They also have monogramming available.
I bought these for my kids last Christmas. We use them to collect the various bits and bobs that accumulate on our first floor and make sure they land in the right kid's room when we take them upstairs. Color coded, of course. We bought ours from Garnet Hill.
I bought one of these the other day from World Market. I have the adult size cooler version which has a cooler lining with a zip top and the foldable handle. I love that thing. Great for picnics, the beach or game.
