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…

BAMBOO ME!
I have a note book with insertable/removable sheets and dividers that I carry everywhere. Sections for home/family stuff, work stuff, crafty stuff and a cover I made from fabric. I can’t live without it!
Andrea says
BAMBOO ME! My daily planner seems to be the place I write most things to do / things to remember, but gotta love that little pad in my purse for all the ideas and sudden thoughts that pop into my head I’m out and about!
Michelle says
BAMBOO ME!
I just started keeping a notebook that I put notes in, ideas for future events or crafts, addresses, phone numbers… plus any ideas I find online or in magazines that I want to use someday. It’s nicely tabbed and keeps me organized!
Ann Marie says
Bamboo ME! I keep one notepad in my kitchen for all notes & reminders.
Krystle says
Bamboo Me!!!
I jot notes on just about anything that has a blank surface and is within reach! It ranges from the standard notebook, to a post-it, to mini-post its, napkins, receipts, invoices, magazines, etc. I could go on!!
Meredith says
BAMBOO ME! I take notes on my magnetic notepad that is stuck to the fridge… If I don’t write it down, I just won’t remember!
Anna says
BAMBOO ME!!!!
I set reminders on my phone calendar. When the alarm goes off, I’m reminded to take care of something. If it’s already done, I dismiss, if not, I hit the snooze button (yep, I’m a glutton for punishment)!
Used it just this morning to re-order something on-line!
Jillian C. says
Bamboo Me!
Julie says
Bamboo me!!
I rely heavily on Post It’s at work. It’s gotten so bad, my boss teases me about it and threatens that the supply closet has run out just to get a rise out of me. I’d love to dress up my desk with some pretty varieties!
In my personal life, I do incorporate some Post It’s, but I’m trying to use my iPod Touch notes app more often to keep clutter and paper scraps out of my purse.
Dana says
BAMBOO ME!
All of the above! I always have a pen and paper handy but often use my iphone to keep a grocery list or reminder notes.
Elyse says
Bamboo Me!
I take lots of notes for work in a basic college ruled notebook and use anything to write down phone numbers and other random notes… i actually have an envelope right here on my desk with store ideas for shopping for my sister’s bridesmaid dress. Wedding ideas and notes are in a special little notebook my youngest sister gave me for Christmas
Kylee says
BAMBOO ME…….I jot things down and whatever is lying around!
Ann says
bamboo me!
I am constantly writing lists and checking them off- grocery lists, to do lists, wish lists, etc. I always just use old scraps of paper, backs of receipts, old envelopes, newspaper, etc.
Jayme says
Bamboo me!
I scratch down notes (mostly to-do lists!) on whatever is handy. I tend to make notepads out of the backs of unused copies in the office that would have otherwise been recycled… but they’re not very pretty.
Katie says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep a notebook that I keep all of my notes and lists in! It helps me so much to always have somewhere to write things down and I actually really like keeping work, house, and everything else together in one place!
Tiffany says
Bamboo me! I keep a consistent list for groceries and Target runs on my Motorola Droid. Otherwise if I’m at my desk, I write Post-Its of things to remember but I only do that when necessary.
Annie says
“BAMBOO ME!!!”
I keep a daily planner and post-it notes in my purse. If I think of something I need to do on a particular day, I write it down and stick the post-it on the day. Yeah, I have a slight ocd issue!
Callie says
BAMBOO ME!
I use all kinds of methods – sticky notes, my phone for lists that I don’t want to lose, a weekly planner, bu tmy favorite is my mousepad note pad.

Amelia says
BAMBOO ME!!…
my current note taking habits are, well, sorta non-existent. I do keep a pad of paper by the phone incase i need to write anything urgent down like a phone# or address or appt. time. Otherwise, i really rely on good ol’ post-its! I’ll write down a little note and usually stick it in my wallet – that way i know i’ll never lose it!
BAMBOO ME! says
I am an illustrator and churn through quite a bit of paper while working on sketches for clients. I try to lessen my impact by using the back side of old versions for all of my notes. Sometimes I even staple a stack together to make a little notepad.

Toni Janas says
BAMBOO ME!
I always have sticky notes and a steno pad on my desk at work to always take notes on!

BAMBOO ME! It’s silly really. When I have to remember something, I text the note to my husband and visa versa. That way, I can look through my sent messages and see what I wrote OR he can remind me. We have quite the system.

BAMBOO ME!
At work I go back and forth between a stack of post-it notes or a notebook. At home I’m a bit more of a techie and jot notes down on my phone.
Annie says
Bamboo me!
The goldfish print is so cute! I’m kind of obsessive about always having a list when I go shopping, or else I’d spend hours in Target. So I go through tons of notepads. I always have a magnetic list pad (from the Target dollar bin) stuck to the fridge.
