Coming soon

My mom’s birthday is coming up soon. It’s June 24th to be exact and she’ll be 91 years old. I need to start looking for some birthday gift ideas for her. She lives in a nursing home so I can’t get her anything too extravagant or big.

I know she’d love some flowers or some fruit so I think I’ll look around and find something really nice for her. She loves strawberries so maybe some nice chocolate covered ones will do the trick.

I feel bad because I haven’t been able to make it to see her very often. Money is tight and gas is at a premium lately. I have to get her something really special for her birthday.

Wicker Baskets

Wicker baskets can be used for all kinds of things. You can put them on an open shelf unit in your bathroom to hold towels, washcloths and toiletries. You can hang a small one on the wall in your living room, kitchen or computer room to hold your car insurance bills, electric bills and such.

Wicker baskets also make a nice decoration on top of your kitchen cabinets if they don’t go all the way up to the ceiling. They are great for putting kids toys away on shelves in their room. I’ve used small ones to put out wrapped candy on the coffee table and different sized ones for fabric flowers on the dining room table.

Large baskets make nice looking trash cans or laundry hampers. Large oval ones can be used as pet beds or even a temporary bed for an infant (of course you have to put some kind of pillow or padding inside first).

Wicker baskets are very versatile. What uses have you come up with for them?
