Welcome to our Simple Holiday Gift Bag in which instead of doing a "gift guide", we do that AND give the gifts away to our readers. All the details are below. Happy Holidays!

We can't afford paperstone countertops, but we think we could splurge on this paperstone cutting board from Recycline's new
Preserve Kitchen line. The board is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and retails for $24.99. Let us know what you'd be chopping on this board this holiday season and maybe you'll win one!
