I don't know about you, but when the new year rolls around and my Christmas decorations are neatly packed away, I feel the urge to freshen up my home. Bringing in clean, bright colors and a few new items to help me feel inspired and get organized is the perfect way to get over those post-holiday blues.

Nomade Express Slee...
I have # 12, the basket from West Elm, and I use it to store doggie toys (hi Kayla!).
Except that I bought it for a much more reasonable price (I think it was $29) at HomeSense. It is huge so I can dump all the teddy bears, monkeys, duckies and all kinds of other stuffies in there; and the basket looks nice in the living room.
I have 2 #13s (low rectangular version) on my closet floor for laundry. They are the perfect size for 1 load each and fit perfectly under the clothes rod! I had originally wanted the beautiful #5 when I was looking online, but I'm glad I have #13 because they are a great use of space.
Editors, I love this roundup! Only thing to make it better is listing prices for each.
I love the first ones, the Pehr Canvas ones. I wish they weren't so pricey.
Best storage baskets I ever bought were from Kmart:

They are made of plastic so you can take a hose to them in the summer to clean out those annoying dust bunnies that seem to collect. Plus they come in various sizes and shapes.
I love the Komplement baskets from Ikea. They look great and feel nice too.
I have the Rugby basket from the Container Store and wonder how they got theirs to stand up so nicely. Mine always collapses.
