WHAT????
Yep. The word ‘GIVEAWAY’ just landed on my blog. Surprised? Yeah, me too. I’m really not one to get all that worked up over a Giveaway, either on my blog or someone else’s. If the item is really something I would like, maybe yes; like this gorgeous necklace giveaway that I won from my friend Anna’s blog. But other giveaways, even with cool products that I would love to have, always seem really out of reach due to the excessive number of people who respond.
That’s where THIS ONE gets fun!!
Because, you see, hardly anyone comments on this blog. So in doing a giveaway, if you comment, your chances of winning are greater. And this item is a pretty nice one for the upcoming holiday season.
It’s from Red Envelope, a high-end gift site, specializing in prime holiday gifts. Seriously…. just LOOK at some of these offerings.

Red Envelope has A LOT of great ideas for holiday giving. The site is loaded with every imaginable option, from home and garden decor, clothing and accessories, jewelry, baby gifts, gifts for the men in your life, kitchenware, barware, graphic art, candles, frames….. it’s an endless variety, and many items can be personalized as well. Of course, being so inclined to food and cooking, I went right to that area to see what was available.
Now I’m not one to buy a specialty kitchen item, made for one purpose, so I skim over those in favor of something that will get a lot of use in my kitchen. That’s why I settled on this hickory cutting board. I have a lot of really good quality, sturdy cutting boards that I’ve collected over the years, including a superbly heavy duty Boos board and I will spend good money on a board that will last forever. I know they will get used here. Every kitchen needs a wide option of cutting boards.
This hickory board is superbly heavy-duty, with a beautiful grain finish. It stands on two solid legs, with a handle designed for display hanging. I know this cutting board will serve us well in the years to come.

DISCLAIMER: The gift code for both my gift and the one to give to one lucky reader were provided to me free by Buttoned Up, and Red Envelope. I could choose the gift of my choice in return for this blog post. All words, opinions and choices were mine.
Ooh – count me in please
This would really help out at Christmas!
I love this shop, thanks so much for the shot to win.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Kate – I have been enjoying yours and Brenda’s blogs since we met this summer. I have been wanting to let you know that I did your Black Bean Tostadas as appetizers on the grill for our (very large)camping crew at the lake this summer. They were a huge hit! Don’t give up on making gnocci from scratch – I have had good luck with the premade gnocci also but since I have LOTS of potatoes from my garden I felt I needed to try master them from scratch. My first attempts were heavy and gluey but my last try I used my Yukon Golds and used quite a bit less flour than the recipe called for – I think it was Giada’s – and just generously floured my butcher block. They were actually light and yummy! Of course it could have just been luck!

Well, I was going to comment on your chocolate gingerbread cake, but it appears you aren’t giving one away.
I’ve heard of Red Envelope but never seen their products. They have some really nice things.
Hope all is well with you. Nice to see you are still blogging your amazing recipes and pictures.

Funny, my kids just put my plastic cutting board on top of the stove, not realizing it was still hot…you guessed it…How bad does plastic smell? Total disaster!
Thank you for the giveaway! I love Red Envelope!
Made your Stuffed Peppers tonight! You’re my healthy eating inspiration.
How fun! What’s on my plate? More like what’s in my bowl… I’ve been making so many soups lately!
I’d love that cutting board to chop the veggies for your harvest stew, which we love!!!!
Neat! I think the three tiered herb planter is a neat gift!
Tried your pumpkin risotto the other night & it was amazing………love the toasted pinola!!!
This would be wonderful. …. Don’t think I’d share.
Red Envelope has such great stuff! I love the personalized gifts.
I discovered your blog via Smitten Kitchen, I was hooked by your cooking/ life philosophy and your love of cats. You once asked a question and I have to answer:Yes,you have touched me through your writing. You have a permeant page on my Sarfari.
Thanks in advance, Kate!
The Lady was just talking about getting a new cutting board and we love Red Envelope!
Great giveaway! I don’t think I’d have any trouble finding a way to spend that gift code!
I love red envelope stuff, lovely and well made. And I love Kate in the Kitchen!
Looks like a good choice with that cutting board – very useful and gorgeous to boot! Can’t wait to see what wonderful gastronomic creations you use it for.

How fun! They do have some good stuff…
Thanks for introducing me to “Red Envelope” lots of great gift ideas.
I LOVE the the cutting board. Would be great for serving, plus wood, I love wood…bowls. I even saw a wood wedding ring with diamonds on a site recently, (well maybe that’s going a bit too far)
By the way I do “Like you on FB” and Love you in person. Plus I will tweet about this
Awesome giveaway, I love Red Envelope! Maybe I can find something neat for my mother-in-law for Christmas, she has everything…sigh
Oh…the possibilities would be endless! What would I choose? I do fancy your cutting board — always a good option. Thanks for having a giveaway — I think they are so much fun during the holidays!
Oh, me! ! ! I love to win! I almost never do, but for you, Kate, I’m willing to go out on a limb and TRY!
I love wooden cutting boards – remind me of my grandma. Also love Red Envelope and I would sure find nice gifts there …
This cutting board looks extremely sturdy. I really need a good one…as well as a million other kitchen tools that are on my ‘wish list”. Thanks for having the giveaway and hope you are enjoying your new camera!
thats one nice cutting board
and congrats on your new camera…happy clicking!!
Nothing like a giveaway to make me comment for the first time. (I’m a wee bit ashamed.) But that cutting board is gorgeous! — More importantly, thanks for being so forthcoming, so thoughtful and so inspiring for my cooking.
I love Red Envelope, I usually buy at least one or two gifts from there every year. Fun giveaway
That is a beautiful cutting board.
I was shocked to see a giveaway here! I love Red Envelope, and perfect timing with the holidays around the corner!

Fun! I love the cutting board you picked. It’s gorgeous!
I also love no hoops!
