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?

- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States AND Canada!

Polly F. says
BAMBOO ME!
I love making lists, so I usually have a note pad handy! But if I don’t, the back of an old reciept or gum wrapper will usually suffice!
Liz says
Bamboo me!
I like to use a pretty notebook to take notes, but usually I forget to carry it and just write important stuff on whatever scrap of paper I have!
Corey says
Bamboo Me!
I have sticky notes, but I rarely use them. I usually end up jotting things down on whatever scrap of paper is closest (the backs of envelopes, the margins of other papers, etc.)
Melody says
BAMBOO ME
I am so unorganized when I take notes. I use post-its, or random scraps (receipts, left over papers, programs) that are in my purse. Sometimes I remember to look for my notes, and sometimes I don’t.
michelle b says
BAMBOO ME!!
Well, I’d love to say I’m systematic but I’m totally not. In my day job, (teacher) I use scratch paper. It’s not unusual to find old assignments folded in half and covered with scribble. In my other life, I use pretty embellished post its and fine paper notebooks. I’m really quite the stationery junkie.
Ashlyn says
Bamboo me!
I’m over-run with post-its! I need help! :)
Rachel Collins says
BAMBOO ME
I carry a notepad around in my bag with me to record my ideas before I forget them!
Lorien says
Bamboo Me!
My favorite part of writing to do lists is crossing things out. So much so, that I will put things I’ve already completed on the list for that day/week/morning, etc., just to cross them out. It also reminds me of what I have accomplished, even if I haven’t finished everything.
Leigh says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I have lists for everything! I am obcessive about it. It’s a crazy habit. I’ve tried to go digital with my lists, but haven’t quite gotten fully digital so I still end up using paper the majority of the time.
Brittany says
Bamboo me! I just graduated from college, and now I have no clue how to take notes that are not on loose leaf notebook paper!
rachel says
Bamboo me!
Post its or “Notes” on my iPhone
Essie says
BAMBOO ME! I use my notes app on my iphone.
Meredith says
BAMBOO ME!
I use Post-It notes at work, but for everything else I keep running lists in my phone… I have one for To Dos, one for groceries, etc – that way I always have them with me.
Leslie says
BAMBOO ME
In general I’m pretty tech reliant, by my one low-tech must have is a notebook for all my work notes, so I can keep everything in chronological order.
Heather's Garden says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep my notes on my laptop, but we have scrap paper around the house. I do carry a small notebook in my purse for times when the blackberry is unwieldy or I need to hand someone a note.
Jen says
BAMBOO ME!
I use a combination of notebooks, random scraps of paper, and my google calendar. I think I may need a system here…
Leigh Ann says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m a high school history teacher, and my department has actually developed a “sticky note” technique to help teach students to summarize what they read. It’s just so much more fun for students to take notes on “stickies”, instead of making a boring outline!
Resa says
Bamboo ME!
I write things on my hand that are important and I can’t forget!
Valerie J. says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep a tiny moleskine notebook with me at all times. It comes in handy to jot down random musings or items I think of to add to my to do list. :)
shannon says
bamboo me!
d. all of the above.
i have scrap pieces of paper, notebooks, receipts in my purse with scribbled notes written on the back.
i do it all over here. i guess that means i’m a notetaker :)
Natalie Arloa says
Bamboo Me … I used to have a pretty box in my kitchen that contained note paper, but the paper ran out and I haven’t put more in, so I’d LOVE any of the sticky note stacks or notebooks from Smock Paper. I love making lists, lists of lists, and later using them as bookmarks, that way I find them years and years later if I read a book again.
Amy says
BAMBOO ME
I love the sticky notes!
Ashley says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m a teacher and sticky notes and note pads are always within in reach. I use them if a student asks how to spell something I just write it down and hand it to them. I write down everything otherwise I’ll forget! :D
Emma L - Wohoo! says
BAMBOO MEEEEEE!!!! I take notes on everything, including the occasional scribble on my hand when I think of something important and cannot find a notebook anywhere.
Kristy D. says
BAMBOO ME!
Anything that I can put a pen to is the way I keep notes. Sadly I lose many a note, because I’ve forgotten where I wrote down that important information.
Caroline says
Bamboo Me!! I actually keep notes in google docs. It makes for easy access no matter where I am! (Assuming a computer is available…)
Kristine says
BAMBOO ME! I live for lists and can’t function without them!
Keisha says
Bamboo me….I take notes on everything: post-it notes, scraps of paper, back of envelopes, etc.
Meredith K A says
Bamboo me!
I just got a droid phone, so I’ve taken to jotting notes on the included notepad app, and adding a calendar item with a reminder alarm for the most important stuff. It’s been awesome so far & I love that it syncs with my preexisting google calendar!
Jesse says
BAMBOO ME!!!!!!
I keep a little notebook in my pocket!
Caz says
BAMBOO ME!
At work I use XL lined post-its for to-do lists and at home I keep a moleskine notebook in my purse at all times for random lists, notes, reminders, journaling etc.
Megan B. says
BAMBOO ME, please!
Magnetic notepads are my stand-by… that I can write down groceries I need to buy throughout the week!
Kaitlyn says
BAMBOO ME
Ok, for one, these are so stinkin’ cute! I’m going to buy some asap.
For two, I ALWAYS take notes on literally everything. I have sticky notes on my desk, in my backpack, in my purse, EVERYWHERE. I also have my planner which is filled with everything that I need.
Krista says
BAMBOO ME…. anytime of scrap paper, post-its… I will be buying some of these guys regardless if I win.
Melinda says
BAMBOO ME! I love sticky notes. I always have them on hand when I’m teaching and they’re always in my desk!
Heather says
BAMBOO ME
I am a notorious and obsessive list-maker so I have pads of paper everywhere! I also like to send handwritten letters, but I don’t have much in terms of nice stationary right now so I need to pick some up.
sara dean says
BAMBOO ME! I am obsessed with bamboo products and I am obsessed with using post-its. I’ve gone through 1 pad of post-its in the last week alone! Oh please oh please let me win! I’m a teacher and need all the paper products I can get!
Jill Geddie says
BAMBOO ME
I’m a scrap paper saver. I’ll write on any piece of blank space I can find!
