I have a friend who has everything bamboo in her kitchen; paper towel holder, utensil caddy, etc.. So I got these very reasonably priced cutting boards for her birthday. She loves them! What is the best about them is that they are nice, but not heinously expensive. So they can actually be used! I have a wood cutting board that is made of a special wood and so pretty that I refuse to use it for its intended purpose. Its almost like art. How stupid is that? But these are light, practical and totally useable. Major win!
