this was a belated mama's day gift, and my mama was very happy
i usually buy my mom amsha baskets for mama's day/birthdays/Xmas, because a) we both prefer getting artisans at least sort of paid if possible and b) they ARE artisan-quality. (if you know enough about basketry you can tell that they're tightly woven which even if you're never going to do anything with yours but have it be decor is a good thing, and while the whole hand-made aspect does mean you aren't necessarily going to be able to get the same pattern/color sometime down the line, i've never had a time when i COULDN'T find one that she liked, this time included.)
