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…

Pvue says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I use old envelopes in my purse to write notes on…LOL!
Jamie says
Bamboo me!!!!!!
I seem to get most of my ideas or remember to-do items right before I go to bed. I now keep a notepad on my nightstand with a pen so that I can jot information down quickly and then forget about it. Love this offer! Thank you Smock.
Jessi says
BAMBOO ME!
I like to use the back of my receipts to make lists. And I use a chip clip to keep them together. My grocery receipts are usually long enough for my grocery list.
Amy S says
BAMBOO ME

BAMBOO ME PLEASE!
I keep notes and lists on everything – at work I have a dedicated notebook but at home I use post-its, receipts, pages from magazines…whatever is closest to me when I think of something I need to remember!

Bamboo Me
I am a note taker. Scrap paper, fun colored post-its, anything that is handy.
Lauren H. says
Bamboo me!
I am a hot mess when it comes to note keeping. I use to do stickies, a notebook, a notepad on my nightstand, my planner, and my smartphone. I need one central notebook to use and I’d love one of these cute ones.
anita says
BAMBOO ME!
i have a teething baby and an almost 4 year old – cannot keep my head on straight and therefore need to leave myself notes all over the house and send voicemail and emails
to myself. beautiful paper goods would be a great improvement to my hectic life! PICK ME! PICK ME!
sam says
BAMBOO ME!!
I love lists! My favourite pad of paper is one that we keep on our fridge. The top half says TO DO: and the bottom half says TO BUY: … complete with little checkboxes and everything!
Lauren says
BAMBOO ME! I have a bad habit of keeping notes written on the back of my hands. It works until I have to wash them!
Alisa says
BAMBOO ME! I keep a stack of recycled paper on my desk to jot down grocery lists, appointments or random ideas…
I also keep a small notebook in my purse to write down quotes, both funny and thought-provoking, that friends/family say that I don’t want to forget…
Allison says
BAMBOO ME! I keep notes typed in my blackberry. No wasting paper, and I can edit them without using a white out pen!
Jill says
BAMBOO ME!!
Do I keep a note pad by the phone OR in my purse? Are you crazy? I keep a note pad by the phone, in my purse, in my desk, on my crafting table, by the bedside AND in the car. (I should probably mention I have 3 kids so sometimes these pads walk away.)
Jennifer says
BAMBOO ME! I keep a ToDo list on the desktop of my computer.
Cristina says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep my pocket notepad in my labcoat to jot down little reminders & research topics I gather while seeing my patients :)
Jess says
BAMBOO ME! I keep a tiny notebook in my purse…and sometimes even a pen so I can write in it!
Michelle says
“BAMBOO ME” I actually just bought an Ipad with the hopes of using it to get organized. With 3 kids and tons of after school activities I am often the mother that forgets stuff. Once I even forgot my kids at school. So I need help, the Ipad can only do so much!
Maria says
sticky notes galore!
NAncy says
So cute, I love the colors BAMBOO ME, any time :)
rachel says
BAMBOO ME! i’m a journalist, so i’m always writing, writing, writing. i have steno notebooks in every room of the house, my purse, and my car!
Kristen says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a list-a-holic. I am constantly jotting down ‘to do’ items, creative inspirations, ideas, goals, sketches, etc.
These paper products would look so much prettier in my purse than the scraps I usually keep on hand!
Jen says
BAMBOO ME! There’s nothing more satisfying than crossing items off lists, which is how I attempt to stay organized. I just LOVE office supplies and it always makes my day when I fill up one pad and it’s time to switch to a new cute one!
Leah says
BAMBOO ME
I generally keep notebooks with me at all times, but if I’m at my (very old, cheap) desk and need to jot something down, I use a sharpie and write on the desk itself!
mary w. says
BAMBOO ME.
I always tell people that my lists have lists. I have post-its all over my desk at work, a running list of things to do at home and at work, and am always trying to keep track of things when they pop into my head.
bridget b. says
BAMBOO ME! I’m a teacher juggling many tasks at once, and as such I’ve developed into a compulsive list-maker. Currently, I make a daily to do list and sticky-note the list throughout the day with grocery lists, reminders, and other pressing matters. It works!
Natalie Call says
Bamboo Me! I have about a billion cute notebooks I collect, I’m too scared to take notes in them. It might ruin the pretty.
Ellen says
Bamboo me!
I use a Moleskine.
Tyleet says
BAMBOO ME! Those designs are pretty rocking :o)
My go-to notes are index cards. Super cheap, more durable than typical paper, and have either both the lined or unlined options.
Rhonda N. says
BAMBOO ME
I use whatever scraps are handy from the many pad remnants in my kitchen drawer. I’d sure love something pretty to sit on the counter, instead!
Jeff says
BAMBOO ME
I like to use the “Stickies” application on my computer — it’s like writing on a sticky note without using up real paper.
sabrina says
BAMBOO ME! i have a cute notebook that i lovingly refer to as the “brain book” since it keeps all the overflow of everything in my head and helps me get stuff done. (especially in the last three weeks before the big day!) there is nothing more fun than writing your notes in a fun book:)
joy says
BAMBOO ME!
I try to write things down but I have a hard time keep track sometimes! :)
Bryn says
BAMBOO ME
I’m a bit of a notepad and notebook junkie. I keep several in each room, one in the car, and one in my purse. I can’t resist buying a cute one when I see it. I can’t stand if I have an important thought or idea and no way to write it down!
Laura J says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I keep all lists, appointments & other important info in my day planner. I’d be SO lost without it!
duck-billed placelot says
BAMBOO ME! I usually have two or more computer to-do lists running as well as one scribbled on the back of a receipt or the wrapper to a water bottle floating in my purse. What? I like lists.
Laura says
bamboo me! i usually carry a little notebook in my purse, but it’s not very pretty. one of these would be better.
Diana says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep my lists in a Moleskine weekly calendar (one page shows the days of the week and the opposite page is a notes page)!
Heather Transue says
BAMBOO ME!!! I prefer a desk calendar where I write everything. I also enjoy slashing through each day after I accomplish it. It also keeps for a nice “informal” record/diary of what I did that month!
Diana says
BAMBOO ME!
I have paper all over our house in the form of post-its, note cubes, and list pads. I also have half scratched off to-do lists and notes stashed anywhere imaginable just waiting to be corralled into one of those cute Smock Paper gift boxes.
