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! If I’m out of the house, I’ll call my voicemail at home to remind me of what I need to write a note to remember to do… And if its for work, I’ll email myself from home to remember to do it the next day. So apparently I need some lovely stationary to use, so I get off my blackberry! :)

Bamboo me! I use post its or a to-do list in gmail.
Pat Stroud says
BAMBOO ME!!
All calendar-y things go into my google calendar via laptop, phone, or iPad. Everything else (list-y things) goes on a pad in my little green leather Pierre Blevedere “notebook”. It’s about 3 1/2″ x 5″ and has a couple of credit card slots and a pen holder and the pads just slip in.

Post-it notes save my life! I would be so lost without them. I also keep various small notebooks around for different purposes. These products are so cute!!
Ariana B. says
Bamboo me! I use my old school paper planner for my purse notes. At the office I keep a stack of old paper handy and cut it up for small notes, or staple sheets together to use for larger note pads. At home I use the envelopes for the junk mail I can’t seem to get rid of for grocery store lists and meal planning.

BAMBOO ME!

bamboo me!
Stacy says
BAMBOO ME! I use a combo of computer notes, emails and good old fashioned notepads!
Sarah says
Bamboo me!
I keep just a simple, single-subject notebook in my desk drawer… ALL of my notes go in there. When it’s full, I’ll glance back to make sure there’s nothing important I need to keep, throw it away, and start fresh. That way I always know exactly where to find any jots, lists or random things I’ve written.
Nikol says
Bamboo me! Notes to myself go right into my phone and if it’s really important I will email it to myself.
Sarah says
BAMBOO ME
I am constantly writing to-do lists for myself on post-it notes…I love to cross things off!

BAMBOO ME! I am a sucker for pretty stationary…I spend more time than anyone should in card and stationary shops! I enjoy writing new lists and I keep post-its in my purse for that reason!

Melanie says
BAMBOO ME! I keep sticky note pads all over my desk at home and at work! All sorts of different sizes…I would be lost without them.
Paige says
Bamboo me! I write on whatever is within writing distance! At work my desk is covered with papers, the backs of which are covered in scribbles. Not the most reliable way to take notes, but it works for me! If something’s uber important I just write it on my hand.
Jill says
Bamboo me! I take notes pretty much everywhere. Once I write something down, I usually remember it. Except for numbers, which is often a problem since tracking down where I wrote my note can be difficult!
Stacy says
BAMBOO ME!
I have lists everywhere!
Kristen D says
BAMBOO ME!
I love to-do lists! At work, I use multi-colored mini post-its to organize my tasks (each color is a different group of tasks); at home or on the go, I use my phone app to write things down, and it’s connected to my email inbox so I don’t forget it’s there!
KARA M says
BAMBOO ME! I have an hour drive each morning and evening so while the baby is happily napping while we drive to and fro, I use a windshield mounted “sticky note pad on a stick” to write down all the items that enter and soon retreat from my mommy brain. I know that Baby G will be shouting her back seat wishes for mommy’s list in no time.
sarah says
Bamboo me; I use post-its like a mofo!
Kelly says
BAMBOO ME! I actually write “To Do” lists and constantly lose them. The act of writing down the action item makes me remember it!
Sean R says
BAMBOO ME
I have pads in the kitchen and in my desk for note taking but if i’m on the computer, i’ll usually just joy it down in notepad
dinah says
BAMBOO ME!
I carry a small spiral notepad (i drew my own cover)everywhere with me. Either that or a small notebook. If it’s something super urgent, I have a stack of notecards to write messages on and then I stick them on my giant corkboard.
Kelcey says
Bamboo me! I use sticky notes all the time. :)
Sarah D. says
BAMBOO ME! I’m a fan of post-it notes.
sarah says
BAMBOO ME!
I’ve tried everything but what works best is my “mom” calendar book. :-)
Allie says
BAMBOO ME!
I write everything down in my Moleskin planner – it runs my life. For backup, I usually program my iPhone to remind me of important things as well.
This is my first comment on your blog – I’ve really enjoyed following you guys and your adventures in decorating. You’ve been an inspiration to me as I fix up my rental house on a budget.
