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 notebooks for to-do lists *everywhere*: One in my bedroom, on in my purse, and two that just float around my house. My hope is that by writing things down three or four times, I’ll be more likely to remember them.
Miya says
BAMBOO ME! Please :-D
And I will admit to being a back-of-an-old-envelope scribbler.
Kelly says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I love lists. Even though I’ve gotten some great iPhone apps, nothing beats pen and paper. The best part is when I get to check things off and eventually throw that paper away!
Jenny says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a big post-it list maker! I have post-its everywhere and somehow it works for me. I also keep a small notepad in my purse for on-the-go notes. I am always amazed by people who can remember everything without writing it down anywhere… like my husband!
Wendy Benoit says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I keep a notepad a friend gave me that says at the top “That’s what she said!” She got it for me because she knows I like The Office.
Wendy-
Dee in BC says
BAMBOO ME!!
These are gorgeous. I do keep a small notebook in my purse. At work I try to use the back of documents for notes(as long as these aren’t documents that need shredding- we’re big on info security.)- Dee
jill says
BAMBOO ME! I currently am using a black drawing notebook for regular old notes so I don’t lose lots of little notes.

bamboo me.
morgan grunewald says
Bamboo ME!!
I am pretty old fashioned and use a faux leather bound journal for all my little notes.
Kathleen says
Bamboo me!
I use the Things app for iPhone to keep track of everything.
tasha roe says
BAMBOO ME
I decoupaged a mini clipboard and use school papers that my kiddos bring home. Why not use up the blank reverse side before recycling?!
Jamie says
Bamboo Me! I use a graph paper notebook to keep track of my thoughts. It’s big enough to write detailed notes, but still small enough that it fits in my purse.
Caroline Dahle says
BAMBOO ME! :)
I have a recycled notebook with an adorable blue design I picked up from Target that takes care of all my jotting needs :)
Courtney H. says
BAMBOO ME!
I tend to make my own To-Do lists & Grocery Lists on the computer via Microsoft Word or Excel. I make columns to write down items I need or things I need to do, and I make another column to check it off (my FAVORITE part, if I must say)…
Elizabeth says
BAMBOO ME!
As a high school teacher, balancing to do lists comes with the job! I usually make a daily to do list on a post-it that gets stuck to cover of the small notebook planner I carry.
Linda Pharris says
Bamboo Me! Love all kinds of paper – the feel, the smell, never mind design. Kind of that starting first grade feel of sharpened pencil, fresh paper, blank spaces…
Carolyn says
BAMBOO ME!
Yellow striped post-its and backs of X-Ray Diffraction patterns!
Shanna says
BAMBOO ME! My life depends on sticky notes!! :)
C.C. says
BAMBOO ME
I love, love, love writing notes & making lists. My daily to-do list is on my computer which syncs with my phone. I have several post-it note pads around (about 6 on my desk at work, plus another 6 regular note pads, plus a basket of paper next to the phone for phone messages). I also keep a note pad in my purse. I can’t keep myself from buying cute new note pads whenever I see them.
Rob says
BAMBOO ME!!! Live by the honey-do list on a post-it note (somewhere).
Danielle says
Bamboo me! I use post its! and I keep a little notebook for my to-dos.
Jess Davis says
Bamboo me. I have multiple note taking methods. Sometimes I email myself. I have some I write into my blackberry and others I keep in a google document so I can access from multiple locations. Others I keep as a written list (especially for errands and around the house stuff) because it’s so much more satisfying to cross something off a list than to just erase it electronically.
Suzanne says
BAMBOO ME! I’m a total post it note junkie!
Danae G says
Bamboo me!
I always keep sticky notes in the bathroom for when things I need to buy or do pop in my head!
Angela L says
Bamboo Me!!! I’m a middle school English teacher and I believe in the almighty paper and pen. Post its are all over my desk in organized chaos! :)
Jackie says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep a planner that contains my life — when I remember to add all the extraneous bits and pieces of paper and online post-its to it ;)
Kendall says
Bamboooooo Meeeeeee!!!!! :)
… lists are my guilty pleasure/habit…. I have note books to jot down long lists, and have now just started a note pad (mini pocket one) that I can bring with me so I don’t forget my ‘to dos’. Isn’t that the worst when you get out and come home and have forgotten one thing!?… Maybe its just me… ;)
Thanks for the chance at the giveaway, you kids ROCK!!!
Tyler says
bamboo me!!
Sheena says
“BAMBOO ME”
I use a combination of post-it notes, writing pads, my cell phone calendar, a desk calendar, etc to keep up with things! I run a preschool and after-school care center, so I am always jotting things down and keeping up with my professional and personal “to-do” items simultaneously.
Amanda@reno366 says
BAMBOO ME
My note taking strategy is to use post-its. Lots of them!
meghan leimenstoll says
Bamboo me!
I’m a list maker in every environment in my life… i have paper in the car door, next to my bed, in my purse, in the kitchen… you never know when a good idea is going to strike.
Johanna says
BAMBOO ME!!
My combination of fancy paper and scrap paper notes could use some sprucing!
Alisa says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I make lists like no man’s business. I’m in grad school and teach an undergraduate class so I have to be on top of everything…lists are the only way I know what’s going on! I use my Iphone for my calendar, but having to-do lists on paper is essential.
Amanda says
Bamboo Me!
I keep all sorts of lists: a notebook on my desk for my to-do list, a notebook in my purse for a grocery list, a list on my phone for books that I want to read, etc. I love a list!
jlim in SA says
BAMBOO ME!
I love pencil and paper BUT carrying a planner was too cumbersome so now it’s my iPhone.
CJ says
BAMBOO ME!!
We actually use our iPad and iPod touches (we WISH to have an iPhone soon!) to keep notes for our home business (deejaying) but I use a lot of post-its at work on the day-to-day.
Cameron says
Bamboo me :-)
I keep notes in my i-phone under the notes app. Before my phone, however, I kept everything on sticky notes….it could get out of hand fast.
Thanks!!
jana says
Bamboo me!
Shannon says
Bamboo me!
I’m a planner and notebook kind of girl. Love them.
Nadia says
Bamboo Me! I use a combination of note-taking, depending on where I am. If I’m at work and I need to remember something, I will email myself or just write myself a “note” on my blackberry. If I’m at home, I use one notepad to write everything down, from the grocery list to book titles I want to read.
Julie says
BAMBOO ME!
It’s all in my head. Not the best way to keep track of things….
Caity says
BAMBOO ME!!
At work I typically make a list on a yellow legal pad of all the things I need to accomplish. More often than not, just writing down the tasks at one time gets them in my head and I don’t usually end up referring back to it for several days.
Lisa Gribler says
BAMBOO ME, PLEASE! This year I am traveling to 4 different schools-I keep a 5 x 7 journal with me to jot down things to remember to do/get since I may not be back to a school for a week. It is working out really well & I love the feeling of accomplishment as I cross things off & eventually put a big X across the page when everything on it is completed!
Cardigan Junkie says
Bamboo me!
I LOVE that box with the aqua/orange combination. It’s inspired me to consider those hues in my new living room – I’ve been browsing Etsy for pillows since I saw it!
Brittni Austin says
BAMBOO ME!
I use whatever I can find to take notes nowadays.
Amy P. says
BAMBOO ME!!!
Before I go on a trip, I have to leave myself notes on the bathroom mirror or front door so that I don’t forget to do things before I leave on vacation(e.g., pack camera, turn down AC, etc.)
Sally says
BAMBOO ME!
I usually have a spiral notebook on me for notes.
Gina says
BAMBOO ME!!!!
I LOVE taking notes. I’m all about technology, but there’s just nothing like hand writing notes, reminders, or even funny quotes. I keep a magnetic notepad on my fridge, a small notepad on my counter, and at work I always have a to-do list to keep me on track. Nothing can replace the feeling of accomplishment when I cross out something on my list. I love lists!
cris says
BAMBOO ME
i have a russell+hazel planner with notepaper inserts. I am an addicted note taker.
Natalie R. says
Bamboo Me!
I keep little notebooks everywhere, one by the fridge for grocery lists, one in my purse for reminders, one by the couch for to-do lists…
