Bamboo Cutting BoardYikes, I'm late on today's holiday gift recommendation! But this Bamboo Cutting Board is an easy, inexpensive present for your favorite cook or entertainer. It's great as a cutting board but stylish enough to put out as a cheese tray or dessert platter. I own two different sized boards, and I love the clean lines and interesting pattern of the bamboo. It's the hippest $15 present you'll find. $14.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond.
