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’m a total list maker….anywhere, anytime, anything. I make lists for household tasks, places I’d like to visit, things to get for baby, clothes I want to buy…look, I’m making a list of what I list. So I keep a small notebook and pen in my purse to jot down any spontaneous lists that I think of. And I never tear any pages out because I like going back and reading what I wrote….and laugh at how ridiculous I am sometimes!

Bamboo me!!
I have a little day planner to take smallish notes in. For larger ones- grocery lists, etc. I usually type them into my iPhone or write them onto a random receipt/paper scrap that I find in my tote. Not the best system, admittedly.
osarah says
BAMBOO ME!
At work, I take notes on the Post It note cube on my desk. I have Post Its everywhere. It’s kind of embarrassing, but it does allow me to have all the information I need readily available. For things I keep more long-term, I have a small notebook that I keep in a desk drawer. I reference that thing all the time as well. At home, I take notes on whatever paper is available.
Patricia says
Bamboo me! I’ll never win but what the hey, I’ve got nothing to lose.
I keep a notepad by my desk and I keep my store coupons in old bill envelopes (I believe in reusing items) and always end up jotting down a note on them. At home I have a role of adding machine tape by a cup of pens and pencils on the fridge (got it on freecycle and thought it was a good use for it) that I use to jot down notes.
emily says
Bamboo me!!!
I use the memo app in my phone! But would love some bamboo sticky notes :)
Ashlie F says
Bamboo Me!!
I keep a very cute mini notebook with me at all times to keep track of websites I want to check out, songs to download, and shopping lists (although I always manage to forget at least one thing at the store).
The notebook is always different because I am a devoted list maker, and of course I make small check boxes to the left of any list item for that oh-so-great feeling of accomplishment.
Amber says
BAMBOO ME!
I have 3 or 4 notepads on my desk at work that I use for both work and personal notes. I also have a small pad in my purse for on-the-go, but I seem to lose my notes rather quickly in the black hole I call a purse!
Joanne says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I am an obsessive list maker. I’d be lost without my daily planner and post-it notes!

Bamboo me! I write notes on my white board then take a quick picture of them with my iPhone when it’s time to go grocery shopping…. For “to-do” lists, I use Evernote. :)
Candice says
BAMBOO ME
When I take notes its on pretty much on whatever I can find – sticky notes, scrap paper, old day planner pages, etc. And then it gets tucked into a random place and most of the time either forgotten about, or remembered but unable to find!
Mary-Kathryn says
Bamboo me! I’m very big on lists and jotting things down, even if I put them in my Droid calendar as well. Something about being able to cross things off a list (that is written on pretty paper) makes me happy!
