Gone are the days of chopping vegetables on a boring, rectangular cutting board. The AHeirloom State Shaped Cutting Boards are a series of boards shaped like some of the American states. The boards, made from [bamboo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legni-collection) by a AHeirloom, a husband-and-wife design duo from Brooklyn, are available in the shape of all 50 states. My favorite part of the AHeirloom State Shaped Cutting Boards is the [tiny carved star or heart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-creuset-5) that comes with each board, to be placed on the exact location that the cutting board owner lives. Adorable, right? For $40 each, Americans can show their loyalty to their home state. Patriotic and practical. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **State-shaped Kitchen Tools:** Design companies can create more state-shaped kitchen tools to attract American consumers who want to show their patriotism in the kitchen. - **Bamboo Cutting Boards:** More sustainable products, like bamboo cutting boards, can be introduced as environmentally-friendly alternatives to plastic cutting boards. - **Customized Kitchen Accessories:** Businesses can offer customization options for their kitchen accessories to attract consumers who want unique and personalized items in their homes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** Kitchenware companies can adapt the trend of state-shaped cutting boards to create more products that cater to American consumers' patriotism. - **Home Decor:** Home decor businesses can expand their offerings to include customizable kitchen accessories with unique designs, like the state-shaped cutting boards, to attract consumers who want personalization in their homes. - **Eco-friendly Products:** Sustainable product companies can introduce more environmentally-friendly kitchen items, such as bamboo cutting boards, to cater to consumers who prioritize eco-friendly products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricate Wooden Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board.md) - [High-Performance Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-steelport-steelcore.md) - [High-Quality Birch Kitchenware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-2.md) - [Multifunctional Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/convertible-serving-board-trio.md) - [Heavy-Duty Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epicurean-bbq-board.md) - [Hybrid Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viking-acacia.md) - [Portable Knife-Equipped Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baca-board.md) - [Ultra-Slick Cheese Board Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-board-set.md) - [Multifunctional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latticeboard-multipurpose-kitchen-board.md)
