African Iringa Baskets
• from $30
• Canvas
I have three. These small, shapely African baskets are perfect for wastepaper, laundry and toys around the house. Each one has a unique feeling and they beat the pants off of basket solutions from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I've also found some sets of the same thing for less at Amazon.

I have a similar basket from a farmers market (also sold at some whole foods) and it has indeed been a workhorse.
These would make wonderful presents for just about anyone. Even me!
This a daily find I can get behind.
