5. Kitchen Storage
Are the cupboards looking a bit full? If you don’t fancy a day of de-cluttering your kitchen you can always use your empty hamper box to pack away small utensils and décor you might not use every day of the year. For example, do you have a stunning tablecloth or cutlery set that only comes out at Christmas? Alternatively, you could use your empty hamper boxes for storing small condiments like spices, preservatives and dried goods.
6. Beds for Small Pets
For those of you that own cats and dogs out there, you’ll know that sometimes, no matter how much money you spend on pet beds, they’ll almost always find somewhere else to sleep! If you don’t want to take the risk on splashing out on your furry friend, you can always pack your empty hamper boxes with soft blankets and plush pillows and make an awesome bed for your pet. We can’t guarantee total success with this, but if it pays off, you’ve just saved yourself a shed-load of money!
7. Car Storage
Do you have a few loose items knocking around in the boot every time you drive? Do your future self a favour and pack them into that empty hamper box you have lying around! After all, it’s recommended that all drivers have a few emergency items in the back of your car in-case of an emergency or a breakdown.
8. Storage for Toys & Games
If you have small children, you will know all to well how often toys get left lying around the house. Whether it’s kids or your furry companion that has too many toys and not enough places to put them then maybe it’s worth considering transforming your empty wicker hamper baskets into a compact storage box! For the pets, you can always store bags of treats, collars and plenty of other stuff in here too.
9. Special Occasions
Do you regularly host guests at your house? Or maybe there’s a big celebration coming up like a wedding or birthday… whatever it may be, bringing out your empty hamper boxes can be a great idea for a number of reasons; blankets for when it gets cold, space for putting away handbags and coats, space for storing cans and bottles, etc.
10. Make a Keepsake Box
An empty hamper basket would be perfect for a special keepsake box where you can store photographs, scrapbooks, mementos from trips & holidays, etc. Wicker baskets are known for being strong and durable, so you can be sure that your keepsakes are kept safe and away from sunlight. Besides, when it’s time to kick back and reminisce about old times, all of your precious memories will be neatly kept all in one place!
