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 keep notes all over the place. My memory is atrocious. I have a sticky notes app for my mac that I use and random text files with lists/ideas/night-time musings. But I also have a moleskin notebook for the same thing that I carry around with me. Also, I leave random notes around the house for my husband – just silly I love you notes and things to make him smile.

BAMBOO ME! I keep several sizes of yellow post-it notes next to me on my desk at all times. I jot down things quickly there and they seem to multiply and threaten to take over my desk by the end of the week. Would love something more sustainable!

Carol says
BAMBOO ME!
Seriously, my real estate clients would love it!
I am a “notebook girl” all the way… there is a little spiral notebook in my purse at all times and in it is everything essential to keeping my life organized. If you wanna see me panic… hide it for 5 seconds. Seriously.
Aimee H says
BAMBOO ME
I am a crazy note lady. My desk, purse, car and pockets are always filled with little pieces of paper with everything I need to do. I even have all the space on my Mac Widgets screen filled with virtual post its. Not very organized but if I write it down there’s a better chance I’ll remember it. Then I have to go through all my scattered notes a few times a week and consolidate and rewrite new lists. It’s maddening haha.
Jessica P. says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep post-its and a pen on me at all times.

Bamboo me …… nothing!!!!!
Harmony says
Bamboo me! I take notes on my hand, which is gross and messy… so I need a little more note-taking-organization such as a DARLING notepad. Either that, or someone needs to take away my pen, STAT!
Jamie says
BAMBOO ME!
i couldn’t get through the day without post-it notes! i stick them to my phone when i need to remember something. my boss calls me “analog” because i do everything with pen and paper still – i just can’t get organized digitally!!

BAMBOO ME!
I have a combo system of using my phone notes app and scrap paper.

I keep to-do lists and write down notes as if my life depends on it. At work, I keep a specified pad of paper in the same spot at all times so it is always handy. On the go, I have a cute notebook that I carry in my purse.

nicole says
BAMBOO ME!!!!
I like looking back into the journals, notes, and calendars of my life. It’s inspiring.
I have a moleskin notebook in my purse for random sketching and note taking while going about my day. I have another notebook on my nightstand to jot down my dreams when I wake up as well as random notes and sketches inspired by my day. I also keep a notebook at my desk so incase I have an idea I can quickly jot it down – you know those staring off into space moments – daydreaming during the lunch break!
I love note paper, journals and handwritten letters. There is something very special about receiving beautiful cards I still have the card my dad had tucked in my suitcase when I went away to college.
Caitlin says
Bamboo me!
I keep pads of paper ALL over the place! Kitchen, car, purse, nightstand. Hadn’t heard of Smock before, but it sounds like an awesome product!

BAMBOO ME!
I have pads of paper in my purse, on my desk at work, on my refrigerator at home. This type-A gal loves some list making and note taking!
Amy T says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a Post-It Queen. They’re everywhere. On the side of the monitor, on the desk, on top of OTHER (semi-related?) post-its. Sometimes, I even find them on the bottom of my shoe because they’ve lost their sticky after months of being “posted” somewhere. *sigh* Not the most organizaed organizational system…
j9gini says
BAMBOO ME!
I love these! I keep a report’s notebook by my desk for list making, notetaking, etc. I also have a stack of pretty papers for writing notes for people and love various collections of notecards for thank you’s and the like!
