VENTURE OUTDOORS WITH WOVEN BASKETS
VENTURE OUTDOORS WITH WOVEN BASKETS
Here we will take a look at how we can venture outdoors with woven baskets.
1. THE BENEFITS OF SUNLIGHT FOR YOUR HEALTH
Spending time outdoors in the sunlight does wonders for your mind and body. First, sunlight is a natural source of Vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and boosting your immune system. It helps regulate your mood too, as exposure to sunlight increases serotonin levels. Plus, being outside can help reduce stress and anxiety. Studies show that spending time outdoors boosts cognitive function and creativity as well.
So, next time you head outdoors, make sure you’re soaking up the sun while also reaping the health benefits. And what better way to enjoy the fresh air than by bringing along a functional and stylish woven basket? Bolga baskets are not only handy for carrying essentials but also serve as a perfect companion for every outdoor outing.
2. BASKETS that are PICNIC READY
A round Bolga basket is the ideal basket for a picnic. These baskets are sturdy and spacious, with ample room for all your food and drink. They’re also super lightweight, which makes them perfect for carrying around. Handwoven by artisans in Ghana, these baskets come in various sizes and are often with leather handles, making them both durable and stylish.
Whether you’re packing a simple lunch or a full-on picnic spread, a round Bolga basket has your back. The next time you pack a blanket, sandwiches, and fruit, toss your essentials into a round Bolga basket. It’s practical, portable, and designed to last — perfect for soaking up the sun during a long, leisurely outdoor afternoon. Hamper baskets also make for great picnic baskets, when you’re entertaining for more than two! So you can see there are more ways than one to venture outdoors with woven baskets.
3. MARKET SHOPPING AND BEYOND
If you’re the type of person who loves exploring local markets or hitting the farmer’s market, a woven market basket is a must-have for your outdoor adventures. These baskets are designed for heavy-duty use. They can hold a variety of goods, from fresh fruits to artisanal finds. Plus, they’re made with strong, flexible elephant grass so they can stand up to whatever you throw at them.
Market baskets are great for not only shopping but also carrying your outdoor essentials. Need a basket to store towels at the beach, or something to hold your gardening tools as you work in the garden? A market basket will do the trick. The woven texture and spacious interior make it the ultimate all-around basket for all your outdoor needs.
4. bringing nature to nature
If you’re someone who loves to nurture plants, a Planter basket is a fantastic way to showcase your greenery outdoors. Whether you have a small herb garden or large potted plants, Planter baskets are both functional and stylish. They allow your plants a beautiful space to breathe, and the natural materials used in these baskets help contrubute to an eco-friendly footprint.
What makes Planter baskets so special is how they tie together the elements of nature — woven by hand, they represent the earth, and they allow plants to thrive in the natural environment. You can use them on your porch or patio, adding an extra touch of beauty as you sit back and enjoy the golden hour.
5. stylish and functional
Speaking of planters, if you want to take it a step further, consider a Bolga pot basket. These beautiful, handwoven baskets are perfect for holding plants or even as storage options for smaller items like outdoor games, sunscreen, or blankets. Crafted by skilled artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, these baskets are made with care and precision.
The round, structured design of the Bolga pot baskets makes them incredibly functional for various outdoor activities. Whether you’re storing gardening supplies or holding snacks during a sunset picnic, Bolga pot baskets are versatile and trendy. And, like our other baskets here at Bashiri, they’re made to withstand the elements, ensuring they last through many seasons of use.
5. outdoor comfort for baby
Now, for the little ones in your life, baby Moses baskets offer a comfortable and cosy spot for outdoor naps or lounging in the sun. Made from soft, woven plant materials, these baskets are a gentle place for your baby to rest. They’re lightweight and easy to carry, with an optional mattress insert, so you can bring them outside to enjoy the fresh air.
As the weather gets warmer, the golden hour provides a peaceful moment to lay your baby in their Moses basket, listening to the sounds of nature and basking in the sunlight. Plus, these baskets are practical — you can carry your baby’s blanket, pacifier, or soft toys, in them while still enjoying a relaxing outdoor experience.
6. CONNECTING WITH NATURE
Using woven baskets during your outdoor adventures isn’t just about functionality. It’s also about connecting with nature. Woven baskets are traditionally crafted by hand, with natural, sustainable materials. This makes them a perfect fit for those who want to live more mindfully and sustainably.
Every basket tells a story of skilled artisans working with the rhythms of the seasons. Just like the sunlight that changes throughout the day, each woven basket carries the spirit of transformation and change. Whether you’re using a round Bolga basket for a picnic or a Market basket for your outdoor adventures, you’re contributing to the continued tradition of West African craftsmanship.
7. BASKETS FOR EVERY SEASON
While outdoor adventures are perfect for the warmer months, woven baskets are great for every season. Whether it’s storing firewood in the winter or taking your Bolga pot basket to the beach in the summer, they can adapt to any time of year. They bring the beauty of nature indoors and outdoors, reminding us of the connection we share with the earth.
8. OUTDOOR ADVENTURES MADE BETTER
The next time you venture outdoors, take a moment to appreciate the golden light of the day and all the benefits it brings. From Vitamin D to improved mood, spending time in the sun boosts your health and connects you with nature. Woven baskets, here at Bashiri, are the perfect companions for all your outdoor adventures.
