Each business day until January 4th, a new board will be posted. Pinterest promises many exciting boards to come, compiled by the likes of celebrity chef Paula Deen and Fortune 500 company Starbucks.

“30 Days of Pinspiration” comes shortly after Pinterest announced another new feature launched in time for the holidays – secret boards. This new feature (still in the testing stage) allows pinners to create up to three boards that are not viewable by the general public. Secret boards can be shared with friends or family of your choosing. Of course, this is perfect for people creating holiday wish lists – simply pin the items on your list and share them with the people closest to you.

To create a secret board, simply click “Add +” from the top-left menu, then “Create a Board” and switch the “Secret” slider to “On.”
