Finally, I found a solution to keeping groups of things together in an attractive and elegant manner, in a device that does double duty when my family takes a trip to the beach or elsewhere outdoors a wicker basket. If your house is anything like my house, it is messier and dirtier than it should be, all the time.

People take them places, to the beach or other places where there is lots of clutter, as small particles like sand fall through. Moreover, if I do happen to clean up a particular pile of papers and documents, I just leave it in a stack somewhere, on a coffee table or side table. Try as I might to clean up and organize, somehow it never gets finished. As you can probably tell, this does not look very nice.

Wicker baskets most often come in rectangular shapes, but are beginning to be more circular or ovular as their primary use switches from being almost exclusively for sitting in one place as a living room decoration to being more practical outside of the house.
