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…

candace at thecandace.com says
BAMBOO ME! I love to write To Do lists each day (but, regretfully, they are almost always overly ambitious!). I usually write it on this ugly wide-spaced paper that I have at work – I would love something pretty to keep my life more organized! And maybe I can start actually accomplishing those To Dos! :)
Jessica Platt says
BAMBOO ME
I use my iphone’s handy-dandy notepad!
Rose says
BAMBOO ME!
Random scraps of paper. All the time.
Jane says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I keep a notepad on my desk at work to jot down “to do’s” that I come up with during the day. I keep my shopping list on my phone.
Kim says
BAMBOO ME
I love note taking i keep a work notebook, full of my daily tasks and yesterdays. i keep a small notebook in my purse for every day to dos. and i write on my hand when i can’t forget later that day.
Kristin says
BAMBOO ME! I mostly scribble on post-it notes, but I have a huge love affair with anything letterpress!
Katie S. says
BAMBOO ME!
I scribble down notes on a scrap of paper, then usually transfer them to their respective places on the computer or my iPhone when I have a moment at the end of my work day (to-do list, contact information, calendar, memos, etc.)
Carla B says
BAMBOO ME !!
I love sticky notes. But a good old note pad is great for larger notes.
Melly says
BAMBOO ME!
I have an agenda that houses all school-related To-Do lists and then two mini notepads – one on my desk for day-to-day stuff: grocery and shopping lists, project inspiration, etc; the other is in my nightstand for that just-dropping-off-to-sleep moment of inspiration or reminder.
That said, I’m all about scrap paper or old envelopes… whatever’s handy in a pinch!
Krista G. says
Bamboo me!
I have an “organized chaos” notekeeping system. Work stuff goes in a notebook assigned by project, home stuff goes in a binder, and everything else goes on random scraps of paper. This system worked a lot better when I had a pad of post-its to keep things anchored, but now that I’m using the note cube, for some reason some things are getting lost….
Angela S says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep a little notebook in my purse to jot down lists and notes.
Sarah B says
BAMBOO ME!
At work I’m a yellow pad person all the way – every phone call gets noted.
For all other appointments I have an appointment book that gets work and home stuff marked – my phone has the capablitity but I really like seeing it all laid out on paper!
Kimberley says
BAMBOO ME
These are too cute! I would love the sticky pads to show off at work!

Amanda says
BAMBOO ME!!!!!!
i write EVERYTHING down … i’ve got my “old school” agenda book to keep my schedule in order and have note pads all over my house and in my car so that i can jot down an idea before it leaves my mind! i make lists for everything so i’d definite make use of any paper products. i’m also “old school” in that i still hand write thank you notes .. i love receiving cards in the mail and love sending them just as much =)
Lara says
BAMBOO ME! Post it notes are what I use while at work. I have a long list on my ‘notes’ in my iphone. It’s handy b/c it doesn’t take up any extra room and I always have it with me.
Megan says
BAMBOO ME!

I keep my notes on an old-fashioned cork board. i love it!
Loney Wife Project says
BAMBOO ME. I never leave the house without a notepad or pen and I pretty much have one in every room at home just in case I have a thought I need to jot down. Fancy, high-tech ways just aren’t for me.
joy says
BAMBOO ME!!
I keep a notebook with all my weekly plans and lists and menu’s. Unfortunately I just lost it, so maybe I can get a new one!!
Jamie says
Bamboo me!
I wish I were more organized than this, but I generally end up writing on the back of receipts I find in my purse, ha! However, I do my grocery list in an Excel spreadsheet I built because it keeps me much more organized and I spend much less money with an organized list.
Imogen says
BAMBOO ME!
I survive by lists. I am also a stationery dork and have a ridiculously cute Vera Bradley planner where I write down all my to-do lists by hand. I’d be lost without it!

We recycle copy paper that has been printed on & make it into a notepads. All you need to do is pile your paper together neatly. Put a heavy book, brick on top of paper then PVA-Glue one side of the pile. Makes a perfect notepad.
Katie M says
BAMBOO ME!!
I keep numerous fun and decorative note pads in my desk. That way all of my random thoughts and notes end up on neat paper.
Rachel says
BAMBOO ME!!
I am a Sticky note person. There are Sticky notes all over my desk and kitchen and house in general.
Sarah B says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I have notebooks, post-its, calendars… and the list goes on. I like my post-its for quick notes so I don’t have to take up an entire notebook page for something short.
Heather says
BAMBOO ME
I actually learned this in a Communications class. While I’m working/studying/reading I’ll get a post-it nearby that I can jot thoughts or to-do lists on as they happen :)
Joy says
Bamboo Me–I love post-it notes, I have paper that sticks to the fridge for shopping lists AND I carry paper in my purse and car, because you never know when you need to remember something:)
Bex says
Bamboo me!!
Notebooks keep me sane. I have one that is my everything – from note-taking to list-writing to holding design ideas and inspirations. If the notebook isn’t around, I use my Blackberry. And then later transfer to the notebook!
kristen says
bamboo me please!
i used to be a huge list-maker, somehow now i don’t do any note-taking at all. i miss it. i forget things!
Kate says
BAMBOO ME!
At work I have notes everywhere, and I use my outlook calender to remember both work and non-work related stuff. I usually have a little notebook in my purse I can jot down stuff I need to buy, etc. I also set my phone alarm to remind myself of things I need to do later in the day, so if I’m at work when I remember that I need to pay a bill when I get home, I’ll set my phone to remind me of it later). It drives my husband crazy when he hears my alarms going off, but otherwise I would forget to do so much. Wow, I take a lot of notes.
Courtney says
BAMBOO ME
I use post-its and memo pads all the time!
Jennifer Enslin says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a post it writing fool…I swear if I don’t write it down I would forget everything! So winning some pretty paper would make those notes everywhere more ascetically pleasing =)
Kali says
BAMBOO ME
I usually jot down notes on my iPod Touch. If that’s not around, a good old fashion 3M yellow post-it does the trick.
