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…

I hate to admit this but I am an avid “sticky note” user at work. (I have them ALL OVER my desk…) At home, I keep a small notepad in my nightstand drawer to jot down ideas, websites, etc. so I don’t forget. As many others have mentioned, I now use my phone app to jot down notes on the go but despite the urge to be greener, I will probably always be a paper person! ;)

At work I have post its everywhere! It’s not the most organized method since I have 3 pads going at once but it allows me to put them places i can see like my monitor or keyboard.
lindsey says
bambooooo me! :)
i can’t seem to break myself of the tons-of-tiny-and-losable scraps of paper floating everywhere, so i customized a recycled journal for myself- i just punch holes in the envelope, coffee sleeve, whatever random thing i’ve jotted on, and add them to the book with the binder clips: http://leafandletterhandmade.blogspot.com/2009/05/idea-book.html

BAMBOO ME!
My middle name should be list! I usually have a few lists going at once…daily to-do lists, sometimes weekly to-do lists, grocery lists…the list goes on and on! ;)
I keep a pad of paper in my car, sticky notes in my purse (note to self – need a better system), and all sorts of scrap and note papers in our kitchen junk drawer.
I’ve tried writing notes ‘electronically’, but they never seem to have the same impact as writing them out myself.
Anna says
