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 always seem to remember things much better when I actually write them out, rather than type them into my phone’s calendar. I recycle all of my un-used prints at the office by using the unprinted side for notes/phone messages. I also carry around a small notebook in my purse for note taking on the go.
Lisa says

Lindsey Kaye says
BAMBOO ME!
I take notes on notes on notes. It’s been that way as long as I can remember. For me the whole process of remembering something comes from first writing it down; lists are my best friend. I use sticky notes at work, with lists on legal pads and a big desk calendar. I keep a planner in my purse, and a small spiral notebook for shopping lists, notes and the like. At home it’s a mix of everything.
Somehow, with all the different pieces, it comes together.

I have a magnetic, heart sticky pad on the fridge by the kitchen door that i jot notes on (like to-do lists, remember to return library books, items to pick up at the store,etc.) It helps that it’s right there at eye-level so I am reminded to do whatever i was I needed to do, and it’s not lost in a pile of papers on my desk (not that that happens to me ;)
