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”
Jen says
BAMBOO ME! I am THE MOST forgetful person. I rely on all forms of reminders, from post-its to note pads and diy dry erase boards (old frames painted with fabric inside – the glass is the whiteboard) and Outlook reminders at work. However, I am most famous for having lists written on my left hand! Problem is, I use the initials of the to-do’s…..then I forget what I meant!!!
Elyse says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep post its by the phone and at the computer. Or I use the notes app on my iphone.
Erin says
BAMBOO ME! I have a magnetic post-it pad on the fridge and another non-magnetic one one in the entry area of the apartment. The more colorful the better! I’ve also been known to send a text message to my email account in a pinch.
angie says
bamboo me!
sadly, there is no rhyme or reason to note taking right now, which is why these are so very appealing!
Jennifer says
BAMBOO ME! Cute, cute, cute!
I’m a list making type of girl. I have a notebook on my desk at work for my weekly to-do lists along with post-its for daily tasks or messages. At home I have notepads in my kitchen and in our office for lists or just jotting something down.
Jennifer says
BAMBOO ME! Post-it’s are my go to list making item.

Joya Konieczny says
Bamboo me – I usually jot down my to-do lists as a note in my phone so I can add to it wherever I am whenever I remember something new!
Michelle says
Bamboo Me.
I use a collection of notebooks, scraps of paper, and an app on my phone. Which means I never know where anything is.
Adriane says
Bamboo me! Any thing to help organize and plan gets my vote.
Stephanie says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep scrap paper at my desk at work, a mini spiral notebook in my purse, and pretty pads of paper that people have given me in my dresser at home. This way, paper and a writing utensil are always close at hand!
Gina P says
BAMBOO ME! I love notepads and have them everywhere. I will never write enough notes to fill them.
Christina says
Bamboo me!
I use a “sticky note” app on my phone to keep track of things like my grocery list, my “need from Target” list, and things like that. At work, I am the queen of Post-it notes – at any given time, I probably have 20 stuck to my desk, all for different reasons!

Emily says
Bamboo me!
I use scrap paper/the other sides of paper I was going to recycle anyway. Not elegant at all. :)
Kathryn says
Bamboo me!!!
I used to have my Outlook Organizer calendar on my work computer, pads of paper everywhere, and a fridge with LOTS of magnets to stick little notes on. However, we now have a stainless steel fridge (so no magnets), and the random pieces of paper tend to get lost/recycled/shuffled from room to room. So now, appointments go in my cellphone with a reminder alarm, and every other note gets jotted on my wrist! It is a truly terrible note-taking system, and I am so looking forward to getting our new office set up so I can start a better system!
ashley says
BAMBOO ME! Currently, I do a combination of a little notebook I keep in my purse and my iPhone.
Gretchen says
Bamboo me!
At work, I use a spiral notebook for my to do list, but at home I’m more of a mental list keeper. Unfortunately, it’s not always so effective – so perhaps some lovely note paper is just what I need for inspiration!
