Totally Bamboo Nevada Cutting Board Review: Our Shop?

When we first unboxed the Totally Bamboo Destination Nevada State Shaped Cutting Board, it felt less like a kitchen tool and more like a small piece of travel décor. The Nevada silhouette is instantly recognizable, and the engraved map artwork adds a subtle “road-trip” texture that looks right at home under a spread of cheeses, fruit, and crackers. We also appreciate that the reverse side is smooth and practical-handy for everyday slicing when we don’t want to baby the display surface. The included hang tie is a nice touch, letting us turn it into wall art between gatherings. In our shop, it lands in that sweet spot: functional enough to use, distinctive enough to gift.

We went into the BambooMN Sushi Maker Kit hoping for an easy, tidy way to turn weeknight rice into something that feels like a small celebration. The first thing we noticed was how cohesive it looks: the green-and-natural rolling mats pair nicely with the included cutting display board, making the whole setup feel intentional rather than “random kitchen drawer finds.” The rice paddle and spreader helped us smooth out sticky rice without too much wrestling, and the sauce dish kept our soy-and-wasabi situation contained. While it’s marketed as a sushi kit, we kept circling back to the BambooMN bamboo cutting board—simple, presentable, and surprisingly handy when we wanted to slice and serve in one step.
