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 use a notepad to keep notes.
Jane says
bamboo me! I just jot it down on anything and usually lose the paper. But writing it down puts it in my memory, so I usually remember it!
Melissa McCown says
BAMBOO ME!
I use a super cute purse sized planner from Lily Pulitzer. The super cute patterns make me WANT to stay organized!
Megan says
“Bamboo Me” please
I LOVE To-Do Lists! And while my husband is really handy at making lists in his phone, I always refer back to the tried and true scratch paper and pen. Unfortunately, if the list isn’t organized and with scribbles then it’s scrunched into a ball and thrown out…needless to say, I go through a good amount of any sort of paper in our home.

Bamboo Me!!
I have a big white board right in the kitchen that gets all the little random notes. There is a menu on the wall (also a white board) and I magnet a lined piece of paper to it for the grocery list. I do keep a little notebook in my purse for anything I remember while out. But I usually write down jokes, or ideas for blog posts on it more than anything else.
Love this blog, keep on it you guys!
Jenn says
Bamboo me!
As for notes, my latest notetaking is done on my laptop with my “sticky notes” that I can “stick” anywhere on my desktop. Love it!
Lindsay says
Bamboo Me!!!! I LOVE post-it notes and cute notebooks that fit in my purse :)
Janel says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m paper all the way. I’m in college and have every kind of post it and tab divider and note pad. I also carry a notebook and pen with me most of the time.
Chantel says
BAMBOO ME!!!!
I love to take note, I’m always writing down to-do-lists, or planning my week, and I can’s shop without my lists. But almost all of my planning is done on scraps of “whatever is lying around” paper. I love the bright colors and fresh designs, plus the fact that they are trying to help the environment is a huge plus.
Whitney says
Bamboo me!!
This is so gorgeous… I write on whatever is handy. Or email myself from my phone. :P
Melissa says
BAMBOO ME
We keep one of those post-it magnetic pads on the fridge – Keeping one there is so convenient for us, because it seems that we always have good ideas while we’re cooking, and it’s so handy just to jot them down!

BAMBOO ME!
I use scrap papers for notes around the house, a small notebook in my purse, and specific notebooks for certain things — recipe development, spiritual notes, etc.
Emily H. says
Bamboo ME! I keep a stack of scrap paper that has a blank side in a cubby on my desk. When I’m making my daily To Do list or writing out directions or anything, I just grab one of those sheets. I take the normal sheets and cut them in half so I have a decent sized piece of paper to work with. It’s perfect!
Nicole says
Bamboo Me!
Totally depends where I am. Typically I wrote notes down on a post it, but sometimes I use the notepad in my phone.
Nicole says
Bamboo Me
I use a post it most of the time.
Julie Anne says
Bamboo Me!
I keep a running to do list with three categories: Work, Personal, Home & Yard. Crossing things off my list keeps me motivated to keep going when I get tired, and having a list instead of jumping all over the place keeps me focused when I would otherwise get distracted and miss doing things timely.
Lisa says
Bamboo me…..I love paper! Cute notepads or notebooks are my weakness.
Lys says
BAMBOO ME!
I can always rely on my handy dandy cell phone notepad to keep all my random lists-or to jot down something I need to look up at a later time (especially lyrics, movies, actors, ect)

I am all about paper notes. I usually carry around a very small spiral-bound notebook. About the size of or smaller than my palm – really small. They tend to get filled with bus directions and shopping lists.

Mandy S. says
BAMBOO ME!
As far as note-taking goes, I’ve got a few different ways. If I need to remind myself to do something, it’s either a post-it stuck to the front door, or I jot down whatever I need on the bathroom mirror with a dry-erase marker. :)
Genevieve says
