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?

I usually have lots of notepads and a little notepad in my purse for lists and reminders. On our recent trip to Hawaii, I used my ipod touch to take notes each day so I wouldn’t forget what I wanted to blog about!

I carry a Franklin Covey Planner with me everywhere… just ask my husband what happens if I run out of pages! MELT DOWN! Oh, and I keep both “thank you” and blank note cards in it at all times – you never know when you’ll need to send someone a note!
Nupur says
BAMBOO ME! I have a little notebook by the entryway for all grocery and shopping lists. The idea is that we run here and jot down an item the minute we use the last of it/ when it is running low.
For my to-do list, I love using the “lists” function on Gmail. Great fun to delete an item when it is done :)

deana says
BAMBOO ME!!!!!
I have to admit that I have a notebook in my purse to jot on but it is strictly reserved for inspiring craft ideas. When I need to write down an address or phone number I grab a spare piece of paper.
Lacretia T. says
Bamboo me!! I take notes on everything, otherwise, I completely forget about it. I have a standing to-do list on my desk, and keep a small notebook in my purse. I also note my grocery list in my iPhone so I won’t forget anything important!
Kristen says
BAMBOO ME
Do you keep a pad on your desk to jot down phone numbers or random thoughts?
Always! I work in the technology and have one too many gadgets. Even still, I always prefer small notepad on my desk for quick ad hoc lists.
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?
I don’t keep any scrap paper in my purse. I even bring a small notebook with me, or take notes with my iphone.
JodiH says
BAMBOO ME!
I love making lists, but unfortunately I am not so good at keeping them organized. I use my Ipod, notebooks, pieces of scrap paper and post-its – things would probably function a lot better if I streamlined this system, however, I can’t imagine doing it any other way.
