Acacia Serving Tray Giveaway/Winners Announced

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | 525 Comments

Last updated on September 8th, 2021

Per the number generator at Random.org, the winners are…#355 from Marsha; #27 from Vicky Vickers, and #63 from Dianne Sofia. Congratulations, all! To collect your prize, just send me an email.

Today, because throngs of children are headed back to school, and because Afternoon Tea is the after-school snack that every student deserves, I’m giving away three sturdy wooden tea/serving trays! Details about this handsome serving piece, and how you can win it in a random drawing:

I purchased this serving tray a couple of months ago, and now I can’t live without it. Made from Acacia wood, the tray has a timeless look. I love the elegant curved design with cutout handles for a comfortable grip.

The tray measures 20 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches deep. It’s roomy enough to hold enough tea gear for a party of 2-4 people.

The tray is sturdy! I can load up my tea essentials (filled tea pot, cups, saucers, etc.), and not worry that the tray’s bottom will fall out during transport from one room to another.

To enter the random drawing, just post a comment below. I’ll use the little number generator at Random.org to select three winners. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, so be sure to check back! xKevin

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: The subject of this giveaway is the gorgeous wooden tray. Objects displayed on the tray are not up for grabs.

This giveaway is sponsored entirely by Kevin Lee Jacobs. Click here if you’d like to purchase the tray directly from Amazon.

    Afternoon tea is a wonderful memory with my boys! Such a fun way to reconnect after school, practice our table manners and learn that overloading your tea with sugar is NOT a good thing! 🙂

    Dianne Sofia says

    Kevin, I read your online gardening videos and recipes (just made the old fashioned cream cake for a friend’s birthday two weeks ago and it was good. My husband loved it, so I made another one but forgot the sugar…so I called it “Kevin’s biscuits” and they were delicious!) whenever you post them. Love your whimsical attitude and always useful information.

  64. 64

    Ardelle says

    Good morning Kevin and everyone. Planning tea on the deck with several nearby new neighbors this afternoon. A new and exciting tea tray would be most welcome. Russian Tea cakes and Lemon bars cut into small hearts will be offered along with some local ‘to die for’ chocolates. Wish you could all join us. Lovely cool weather so outdoor entertaining will increase now. Have a lovely Labor Day weekend.

    We love tea parties! My 8 year old granddaughters last birthday party was a tea party, boys included! Everyone dressed up and used their very best manners. We include a tea party in every visit. Her mom and dad bought her, her own beautiful rose tea set. This tray would complete her set!

  108. 108

    This, your idea, of every child having a tray of tea and treats after school would change the world. Love, kindness, nutrition, and elegance. How sweet and needed in our environment right now.

    Joan Colbert says

    I think hot tea is great anytime. Often I enjoy it alone, but it’s best as tea for two!

    Maria says

    Hi Kevin. Loved today’s post. I always bake muffins on the weekend and serve them with a proper cup of brewed tea. How nice it would be to put it all together on the proper tea tray. Thanks for your generosity.

    How helpful this would be for my husband. Recently had a bone marrow transplant and has been in the hospital since 8/25/2021. Hoping he gets to come home next week. This would be wonderful for serving his meals on. Will keep my fingers crossed!! <3

  125. 125

    Jeanne P says

    Oh, please, oh please! I need this. I have two smelly, moody teenaged boys who think it’s ok to play baseball in the kitchen and football in the family room. They destroyed my last tray (don’t ask).

  130. 130

    Kim says

    This is lovely! It would be perfect for carrying goodies from kitchen to porch or parlor. You are delightful and so kind to offer these gifts to your followers ☺️

    Karen L says

    I am strictly a tea drinker, hot and cold. Have not ever been able to acquire a taste coffee and yes, I know I am therefore an outlier but what can one do if one doesn’t like coffee? So yes please, enter me to win one of the tea trays. Kevin, I don’t comment very often but I always read your posts because one never knows what goodies one will find or what tip will help a homeowner/gardner! Thanks for doing a triple give-away.

  134. 134

    I thoroughly enjoyed your video about the bean burgers and corn in the MW. Watching the ear of corn slide out of the husk was mesmerizing! The world is a better place with you in it, Kevin. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

  158. 158

    Diane Perry says

    What a great idea! My 4 year old granddaughter and i can do this together! No knives, done in stages, and easy steps. I love the tips on melting white chocolate- I’ve had too many disasters that I’m kinda skiddish to use it, but your tips have helped me regain confidence. You are my Sunday afternoon go to.

    This is so beautiful — and I am absolutely a tea woman. I use an old metal tray now, this would be an amazing upgrade for me.

  167. 167

    Barbara Wesolek says

    The tray is handsome and all purpose, and as you say, the bottom won’t fall out. You have the most beautiful tableware. What is the pattern of the china and is it still available or is it an heirloom?

  170. 170

    monica vargo says

    I take a break every day between 2 PM and 3 PM and have a cup of tea while I read my email. I would love to have the tea tray to carry my stuff up to my study.

    Susan Harvey says

    Every Sunday, the first thing I do is check to see what you have posted. Today was no different. Loved your vegetarian meal and will try it with my vegetarian daughter and her family. Thank you for brightening my Sunday.

    Sheri Wentland says

    My best friend suffered a stroke last year. She is recovering well but her dream (her entire life from 16 years old on) was to have her own tea room. It will never happen but this would be a small reminder that she can have a tea room in her own home whenever she wants.

  176. 176

    Kathy Disharoon says

    Afternoon tea after school or work makes for a great transition to being home. Helps calm the brain chatter from the day. Lovely tray.

  178. 178

    Laura says

    That’s a lovely tray, but I’m not posting to win it. Just wanted to say I plan to make your bean burgers. They look delicious. I’m limited as to what I can eat, but those are right up my alley. Why didn’t I post on the YouTube site? I’d need to join YouTube and although I follow you there, right now, I don’t want to join.

  183. 183

    Susan Rubinsky says

    I would love to hear about your favorite teas! My favorite is Earl Grey Supreme from Harney & Sons.

    Because of COVID all my social life is outside now. This tray would help me carry tea-for-two stuff from the kitchen to the picnic table, so I hope you will draw my name.

    Gerri Ellsworth says

    Kevin, what a fabulous give-away! This is my cup of tea! I can see myself using this on a cold, winter afternoon…ANY morning, afternoon or evening. Finally, something I would dearly love to win! Thanks for the contest!

  211. 211

    Jackie Marks says

    Sunday Morning Coffee (Mannheim Steamroller) is a favorite winter theme at the Sidewalk House. So this Southern girl decided Saturday Afternoon Tea in the garden is fitting. Tomatoes plucked fresh and sandwiched between mayonnaise slathered white bread? Cucumber and salmon tartines? Tiny peach tartlets? All arranged on a lovely wooden tray. Wouldn’t that be lovely! Thank you for the opportunity.

  213. 213

    Diana says

    Afternoon tea is a time to cherish! It’s one thing I look forward to, after a busy day! It allows me to sit with my thoughts and enjoy some peace ! Love the tray! Your posts and recipes are amazing! Thank you!

  215. 215

    Barb says

    Love tea…especially Earl Grey, but here, in SW Florida, I’d definitely use it for your absolutely wonderful strawberry Daiquiris! Along with tea sandwiches, what a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Love ya, Kevin.

    Mary Meehan says

    ..for some time now I have been thinking about having a tea party and asking friends to bring their favourite tea cup and saucer..’ thought it would be fun to chat about why they chose that one.. eg one of mine was given to me by my Gran for my ‘hope chest’ n 1960.. and of course, Kevin, I have my fave recipes from you all lined up… so winning a tea-tray would be very timely!

    My daughter gave me a tea set. What a great tray. With more than 300 comments, the odds are against it. But who knows?

    Lovely tray! Kevin, your posts save me from a bleak life devoid of fine food, good gardening, and homelife beauty in general!

    Barbara says

    This lovely tray looks to be suitable for both indoor and outdoor use! I’m embarrassed to say that hubby and i haven’t done much outdoor dining this year (and by “much” i mean we haven’t done any!). Perhaps this tray is the inspiration we need to start enjoying our morning coffee and tea outside on the rear deck, rather than plunked like stumps in front of our respective computers.
    Actually, just that thought of that has inspired me. Tomorrow morning, it’ll be all about being outside. Maybe i’ll make scones! Cheers!
