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 have an agenda that I live by. I use it to mark down my work and school schedules also any lists I need I use either the blank spaces in the agenda or I use a post it note if I have to move it between weeks. It keeps everything right there for me at my finger tips.

I have a zillion journals that I’ve been collecting over years… sometimes I even find my random thoughts stuck in the pages of my work notebooks. Hey, a girl’s gotta’ write it down when and where she can :)

BAMBOO ME!
I take notes in a spiral notebook to keep little bits of paper from getting lost.
The only exception is in my office where I use those cubes of paper and a flower pot of pens/makers close by.
Emily says
BAMBOO ME!
I am the Sticky Note Queen! I have a million different sizes and a million different colors. You can find them stuck to the inside of my kitchen cabinets, my bedroom door, my car dashboard, the bathroom mirror and my husband’s forehead! He tends to forget things ;)
Bet says
Bamboo Me!
I am definitely a paper person (though I have taken to putting very short shopping lists on my Blackberry to save sticky notes and have less clutter). I keep a datebook with a to-do list on my desk and I have 2 Moleskine notebooks in my purse to write down any thoughts that come up, things I want to remember, books I want to read…
Jenny E says
BAMBOO ME! I have sticky notes and notepads everywhere! If I don’t write it down I won’t remember…
Alex says
Bamboo me!
I’m terrible about note taking. Receipts, envelopes, boxes, paper towel cardboard rolls… Basically anything paper-based is free game. I once wrote a phone number on a piece of toliet paper with eyeliner!

Erica says
BAMBOO ME!
My note-taking habits all depend on where I’m at. Sometimes it’s jotting a note in my little notepad in my bag or my calendar also in my bag or random sticky notes around my desk at home or the library. It also depends on what the note is to remind me of – personal vs. work-related. Then of course if it’s really important for first thing in the morning, I send myself an email.

Alissa says
BAMBOO ME!
I’ve been trying to keep notes on my ipod touch, but more often than not I wind up scribbling things down on used envelopes or whatever scraps of paper are around.
Lili says
BAMBOO ME!
For the most part, when I need to make a note, I end up writing it down on my hand. It’s not pretty and it’s probably not very healthy to have all that ink in my bloodstream, but it works. :)
Raquel says
BAMBOO ME and I use colored scrap paper in my purse because otherwise I see a sea of white paper and can never figure out which one is my special note!
Brit says
BAMBOO ME
I completely rely on my quo vadis planner for notes, appointments and remembering any and everything. I have been using these planners for 6 years, and don’t hardly leave home without it. The fact that it has a pretty cover makes it all the more fun!

Steph says
Sadness that I cannont enter :(
But I thought I’d share the somewhat crazy fact that I cannot live without copious amounts of lists/notes/reminders etc. I use a diary, a reminder alarm function on my phone AND about a million post-its all over my office/in my handbag etc…all for the same reminder! I think I’m obssessed!
Denise says
