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’m a fan of post-it notes, note pads, scrap paper – you name it, I’ll pretty much use it! I’m a HUGE note jotter…
Kaitlyn says
BAMBOO ME!
I have a pretty little green moleskine style notebook that I keep with me. Sadly, its down to its last couple of pages. I don’t want to look for another one.
Mindy says
BAMBOO ME, please.
I note-take on napkins. Hubby and I write love notes on napkins and tuck them in each other’s lunches (it took a while before using one wasn’t weird anymore). I also keep a stack of napkins in my console for my note-taking and then re-use them for the kiddies’ messes. Mine, too.
Mindy M. says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m an equal-opportunity note taker. I have little memo stacks on my desk, a moleskine (or two) in my purse, and a notebook in my car. And, when one of those isn’t handy, I use the notes feature on my iPhone.
Val says
Bamboo Me!
I use a very complex system of notebooks, post-its, and notepads…..i guess the complex part of the equation is remembering on which of those three i have things written down!
Autumn says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m a mixture of organization and chaos! I have a planner that has sections for various segments of my life as well as a place for random notes, but I still tend to grab a random envelope or church bulletin to jot something down on.
CarrieK says
BAMBOO ME!!
My desk is sticky-note heaven.
Lindsay B says
BAMBOO ME!!
I am constantly jotting down things I have to remember to do. I use the note pad on my I-Phone most frequently because then I can email it to myself or my fiance (we’re really loving this feature now in the midst of wedding planning) but I also love Post-It notes and keep a pad by the bed for that late night brainstorming session I never can kick.
Kim says
BAMBOO ME! I’m a habitual note taker. I love lists. I always have three or four lists taped to the refridgerator or floating around in my purse. It’s the best way for me to stay on top of everything I need to accomplish that week.
katieM says
BAMBOO ME!
I love notes and lists and use all sorts of sizes of paper, but mostly smaller sticky notes.
aubrey says
BAMBOO ME!
Amy in PA says
Bamboo me, baby!
I have a notepad on my desk at work & several post-it note tablets at home.
Erin says
BAMBOO ME
I use scrap paper for notes. I constantly use old envelopes, flyers, and office paper that has been printed on, but still has plenty of empty space for note taking.
Jade says
BAMBOO ME!
We have a drawer in our kitchen with various notepads and post-its for our quick scribbles. My husband and I are both big list makers.
Chelsea says
BAMBOO ME!
I like to use sporatic notepads that I keep at various locations around the apartment
aubrey says
I have to do it all! As a mother of three I can’t trust my brain to remember it all. I have a notebook dubbed “my brain,” a post it pad in my purse, and those little mini memo books all over the house all for different purposes! I sure wish they were all as pretty as those from Smock!
Maria says
BAMBOO ME!
I use post it notes to remind me of all my to-dos, but this would help me keep my desk more organized and chic!
Katie W. says
Bamboo me!
I’m a cell phone junkie. Everything goes on my blackberry, would be lost without it.
Katy says
BAMBOO ME!
I write on whatever I have available. Usually, it’s pieces of scrap paper from a drawer in my desk.
Kyla says
Bamboo me!
Jade Cook says
BAMBOO ME!
I found these notepads at work that no one uses anymore b/c they have outdated information printed on them. Every week I write out to-do lists and mark things off as the week goes on. I would love some cute recycled notepads since the ones I use now are recycled but kid of boring…=)
Erin says
BAMBOO ME… I am pretty old fashioned. A good ol’ yellow pad of Post-its gets me through the day.
Debra says
Bamboo me! I actually just got an awesome thing called the Little notetaker from a vendor on Etsy. It contains a small legal pad and a pen and its made of fabric and its cute and ruffly. I use to have tons of little pieces of paper in my bag but now its all contained.
Erin says
BAMBOO ME!
I make lists for everything.
Kristi says
Bamboo me!
I always have several lists going and I compose them on envelopes that we get with junk mail (and other mail of course). I’ve done all I can to reduce the paper mail we receive (e-bills and such), but junk mail seems to slip through. I carefully open my envelopes and make a stacked pad with a binder clip. They work best for grocery lists, as I can put my coupons in the envelope.
Candice says
BAMBOO ME!
Another iPhone note jotter-er here! Easy to use for those middle of the night to-dos that pop into my head.
Kara says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m getting married and I’d love to have their invitations!
Holly says
Bamboo me!! I am all over the place with this – I make lists at work that I stuff in my purse (sometimes I actually remember they’re in there later, sometimes not!), I put memo’s on my phone, and I have a whiteboard in the kitchen that I use to keep a running list of kitchen/household things that we run out of and need to pick up next time we go to the store.
Callie says
BAMBOO ME! I keep a sweet little notebook in my purse at all times but I usually end up using my iPhone. :(
Courtney McIlwain says
Bamboo Me.
I put notes on index cards.
Tiffany says
‘BAMBOO ME!’ When I’m on the go I use the memo pad on my phone. When I’m at work or home, I use sticky notes, note cards and my dry erase board like crazy! I love writing little notes and messages to people though- it usually cheers up their day and mine!
Portia says
BAMBOO ME!
I love sticky notes and the “to do” app on my phone. Occassionally, a sticky note winds up on my phone!
patrice says
BAMBOO ME! Love writing notes, always to remind myself of anything – shopping lists/to-dos/etc. I’ll put them on anything from empty envelopes to my notes on my blackberry. Thanks for the giveaway!
jennifer r says
Bamboo Me! I have to write things down before I forget them so I have notebooks all over the place filled with random jottings. Not the most organized or efficient way of taking notes!
Leah says
BAMBOO ME!
I have random sticky notes everywhere to remind my self of things. Plus a to do list that I add things as I think of them.
Alisha says
BAMBOO ME!
I use a combo of lists on sticky notes that clutter my purse, and putting tasks in my blackberry. But I often forget to look at both!
Siebe says
BAMBOO ME! I couldn’t survive without sticky notes.
Jenn says
BAMBOO ME!!!!!!!!! At work I use post its, LOVE THEM!!! I like to get the nice bright neon colors. I also carry a small thing of post its in my purse but when its an appointment I just cant forget reminder goes right into my phone!! BTW….
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
rachel says
BAMBOO ME!
I could not survive without lists!
Kate (and Ben) says
“BAMBOO ME”
We have paper everywhere–I have two notebooks in my purse (one for everyday notations and the other is my journal) and there are pads of paper in every room of the house.

Sara says
BAMBOO ME!
I like to use a daily calender on my desk at work. I can rip off the pages and know exactly when I made a note!
Jen says
BAMBOO ME! I keep notes in a small notebook– one for work, and one for home.
Erika says
BAMBOO ME!
I jot notes on just about anything. However, I make my lists (especially for the grocery store) on junk mail envelops, both the one it came in and the one for the return inside. I make my list on the ones without a lot of printing and then I tuck my coupons inside. At the end of my shopping trip I recycle the repurposed paper.
Kelly says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep notes on my Blackberry when I can. At work, I rely heavily on Post-Its.
BeckyL says
BAMBOO ME!
For work I keep a constant updated list on a notebook made up of scratch paper. For my personal to-do’s, the list is in my head.
Brien says
BAMBOO ME!
I refuse to enter the world of modern technology and keep my to do list and schedule on paper. I love the feeling of crossing things off!
Audrey says
BAMBOO ME! My outlook/google calendars keep me sane.
Stacey says
Bamboo me!
For work I use a large day planner to write out my daily tasks, and Outlook for my meetings and deadlines. At home I use pretty coiled notebooks. I am a list maker!
lindsay says
Bamboo me!
I have post-its stashed throughout my apartment, within easy reach of anywhere. But i take nots whereever- im a big list-maker.
Jennifer P says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep notes like it’s my job. I have one of those magnetic list note pads where I keep list of what I need to buy, things I need to buy, projects I’d like to do, and any other thoughts that need to jotted down. I have so much in my head that I’m always writing things down so I don’t forget!
