My laundry hamper gave up the ghost this weekend and rather than curse it, I did a happy dance. I’ve had my eye on a replacement for a few months now at one of my favourite stores in the neighbourhood, Room In Order—the kind of place where you feel that life is meant to be organized, one clever gadget at a time. This Everfresh laundry basket from Neatfreak features environmentally friendly enzymes that are built into the fabric to keep my laundry naturally fresh, and it’s pretty enough that I might actually look forward to laundry day. (A girl can dream.) Neatfreak laundry hamper, $24.99, available in Vancouver at Room In Order,roominorder.com; in Calgary at the Bay, thebay.com.
