Who knew bamboo could be so beautiful? Well actually, the people behind Smock Paper did. They also know that bamboo is one of the most earth-friendly sources of paper out there. By relying on it, along with other recycled materials, and by incorporating other green practices into their shop, Smock Paper is truly a wonderfully sustainable operational located right here in the good ol’ US of A. Oh, and of course they make very pretty things.
You may have already heard of Smock Paper from our monthly sponsor shout outs, and if so you probably remember them for their stunning letterpress greeting cards, party and wedding invites, and the like. Well they’re here this week to give one of you a sweet $100 shopping spree while introducing some new products to amp up your note-taking, gift-giving, and memo-jotting adventures.
Just like all of their other products, these colorful items come with an eco-tastic spin. Like the memo pad above whose letterpressed bamboo cover protects 90 sheets of 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Or the cube of 700 sticky notes below that also comes from recycled paper.
While those items could dress up your office nicely, they’ve also got graphic beauties like double-sided wrapping paper, gift bags and even gift boxes that all boast punchy designs on recycled materials that would certainly dress up your next gift or look great in your home office.
Now let’s get on to how you can enter to win:
- PRIZE: $100 towards anything on Smock Paper’s website
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BAMBOO ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …since Smock makes items to help you keep notes, why not share your current note-keeping habit with us. Do you keep a pad on your desk to jot down phone numbers or random thoughts? Do you keep some scrap paper in your purse just in case? Or are you high tech and rely on a voice recorder or phone app to help you remember stuff?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, September 1st at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States AND Canada!
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

Cathy says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep notes on a pad on my desk.

Bamboo me! I keep notes in one hard bound book that’s sturdy enough to go from home, office, car, purse and everything is jotted down and marked off in one place.
Megan says
BAMBOO ME!
At work I have a planner that I make notes all over. At home we are currently investigating what our best message/note center options are!
Bree says
Bamboo me! I love fancy notecards for special occasions, but for everyday I just take scrap paper from my printer and cut it into fourths- I keep a little basket of them in my kitchen and use them for grocery lists, to-do lists, etc.

Kristin says
BAMBOO ME!
Lately, I’ve been carrying around a soft-sided 5×7 spiral notebook from the dollar bins at Target. It’s orange, so it’s easy to find, and it reads “Shopping is my cardio” on the front. It contains the dimensions on windows, rooms, closets, etc, as well as my list of home projects.
At work, I tend to use (and lose!) an inordinate amount of yellow post-it notes.
Cara says
Bamboo Me!
I keep a little tiny notepad in my purse to write anything down.
If all I have is my phone, I either text myself or email myself anything I need to…sometimes even in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep!

Bamboo me!!!!
I have a notepad on the side of my fridge.
megan says
BAMBOO ME
I keep notes on post-its and other pads of paper everywhere. I love lists!!
jen says
BAMBOO ME
Call me old fashioned, I use an index card to write my to do list (always written the night before). I think one of life’s simple pleasures is crossing off a task – productivity just feels so good!!!
Diane says
Bamboo me!!
I’m a fan of small notebooks in my schoolbag and purse to jot down to-do lists, as well as a planner to stay organized. I use Moleskine now but I can’t wait to look around the Smock Paper site!
Heather says
BAMBOO ME!
I have separate lists for each store that I shop at as well as a master to do list. With all of that organization I still forget too much!
Kerry says
Bamboo me!
I’m a list queen, one of those people that makes lists just for the satisfaction of crossing things off of it. So, post its are always handy at my desk.
Jill A says
BAMBOO ME!

Bamboo Me! :)
I’m definitely a sticky note-taker. I recently created a chalk-board space in the kitchen for notes, but I have not yet used it beacuse I keep going back to my cute note pads. Haha, I just end up sticking the note over the chalkboard. Haha.
Jennifer says
Bamboo Me!
I tend to alternate between a notepad, small calendar, and notes on my cellphone depending on my mood.
Jade says
Bamboo ME!
I have 12×12 squares of white scrapbook paper that I leave on my desk and doodle notes and thoughts on and when the page fills up, I make sure all the good stuff is typed into my calendar, etc. and I recycle the paper :) either by being crafty or just in the recycle bin.
I am a massive doodler, so I go through LOTS of notebooks too :)
Sara says
BAMBOO ME!!
My hubs bought me a really cute hardbound book/journal for my birthday. It has a nice closure on it so the pages don’t get rumpled up in my purse. It’s almost too cute to write in! But I love it. It’s come in handy when I have ideas, when my kids say funny things, when I’m bored in the carpool line at school and for adding new book ideas to my must read list.
Amy says
BAMBOO ME
I use post its for shopping lists, to do lists and for keeping track of stuff at work right now. I would love some cute note cards to send to friends or a fancy post it pad for my desk at work.
Traci says
BAMBOO ME!
I go for the no-thought-left-behind approach by having post-it pads stashed in almost every room of my house so that when genius strikes, I have somewhere to record it. And believe-you-me, my genius moments are often fleeting.
Erica says
BAMBOO ME!
I have a little notebook that I keep on top of the microwave in the kitchen to jot down “to do” lists, notes to the school, or craft ideas:)
Katherine says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m obsessed with sticky notes. I have to keep them by my bed too. I’ll think of something when falling asleep, and then can’t rest until I right it down.
I also keep a “folder” on my blackberry for little tid-bits of information I find while out and about. For example, book recommendations in magazines while getting my hair cut!
Katie says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I have all sorts of personalized notecards that I send out for all occasions. Even when I send my rent check, I place it in an envelope with a cute little notecard!
Bianca says
BAMBOO ME!
As a mom of three little ones I’m always writing “notes” either to my kids in their lunches or just so I don’t forgot all those “mommy brain” things!
Barb says
Bamboo Me!
I take notes of the things I have done and put empty boxes by the tasks that need to be accomplished. When I finish each chore, I cross off a box to keep me sorted out.
