She loved the basket Cheryll and I did mention you have more colours that are perfect for bundling gifts. She may be in touch! I will definitely be back for more. What a great gift! Alix... in Vancouver

I totally love my baskets and have multi uses for them and now this has become my favorite - I buy them for "gift wrappers" I open them up, wrap my other gift ( no matter how small ) loosely in tissue paper and put it inside along with a card and a pretty bow stuck on top of the handle. The last time I did this my friend thought it was my basket and was so thrilled as she said "Do you mean I get to keep the basket too?" Cheryll has been great in delivering on short notice as well as helping me choose colors. Irene... in Vancouver

I just wanted to thank you once again for the beautiful baskets. I think this latest purchase is number five and still counting. I just love all the baskets we have and we use them for so many things...grocery shopping, gym attire, toy and craft storage and my favorite is containing miscellaneous items in the car. I have a small turquoise and green one for each of my boys. We really appreciate that all their items are at hand in the car beside their car seats. The baskets are light, convenient, durable, and so easy for them to manage themselves. My boys stock them with snacks and car activities for our long car trips. Thanks again, I can't wait to see any new designs for 2009!
Sincerely, Melinda, Ray, Jack and Cameron... in Vancouver

Just to let you know that the baskets are a HUGE hit!! We all love them, and I use mine every day!! I’ll definitely be buying more for Xmas gifts…

I'm so happy with my baskets, and feel that they were great value for the money. They are well made, light weight, and can be folded up for easy storage. They were delivered to my office, the ladies at work thought they were awesome too and I'm sure some of them will be ordering their own as well. They would be great for grocery shopping and so many other uses. Cheryll was awesome to deal with, friendly and efficient and ensured that the most economical shipping source was used. A great online shopping experience!

I absolutely LOVE my basket! It's so light and easy to use. The shopkeepers love it too because it's much easier to pack groceries into than a regular bag. Nothing gets crushed. If I'm not getting a big load of groceries, I just walk around the shop putting the items into my basket then unload at the checkout...that way I don't even need to use the clear plastic bags for my produce... I just put them right in. I love the cool colours & get lots of people asking about the basket. I even had someone offer to buy mine on the spot (sorry - I couldn't part with it). I highly recommend the baskets!

I received one of the large Chocolate Swirl baskets for Christmas, and have gotten a ton of use out of it so far. It is comfortable and convenient to carry with me, and I like that the basket almost completely eliminates my use of plastic bags. From a trip to the grocery store to a weekend outing, I couldn't imagine being without this basket!
