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…

Rachel says
BAMBOO ME!
I take notes in many places depending where I am – post-its, white board on my fridge, my agenda, calendar….
kim dody says
Bamboo Me!!! Despite my smart phone, I still use a paper calender and take notes all over it. There are scraps of paper all over my house with random things written on them. sometimes i can remember what they mean and sometimes not!

Laurie H. says
BAMBOO ME!
I love their stuff! So cute
Roz says
Bamboo me!
I carry a pocket-sized Moleskine notebook with me everywhere. Everything – everything – gets written in there so it’s all in one place. Then I briefly index what’s inside on the last several pages, write the dates I used it on the edge opposite the binding and shelve it, dates facing out, so if I ever need to find last year’s Christmas list or my great-aunt’s address, I have a fighting chance.
Dan says
BAMBOO ME
I can think of many things on their site I (and definately my wife) would like.
Alli N says
BAMBOO ME!!
I keep notepads & post-its everywhere at home. I have a dry erase board on the fridge too, and if I need to write a note to take with me I’ll write it on my phone and email it to myself :)
Tiffany says
BAMBOO ME! I like to use my phone for notes, or completely random notepads I have around the house.

Bamboo Me!
I try hard to write down things on a calendar that I need to remember, but sadly a lot of the times I end up writing those notes on my hand!
Stephanie L. says
Bamboo me! I have way too many piles of mismatched notepads, sticky notes, and yellow legal pads on my desk…it’s a nightmare!
Courtney says
BAMBOO ME!!
Any piece of paper that I can find on my desk…not so organized.

BAMBOO ME! I’m old-fashioned and have to have a paper day planner with me at all times. I also use the back of printed paper for scratch paper and keep a stack of them in my desk at work.

Bamboo me! I have multiple small notepads everywhere. By my desk, in my purse, in the kitchen…you name it.
Patty O. says
BAMBOO ME! My tiny notepad nestled within my handbag is like an old friend. I don’t dare tear off the past for how will I know how far I have come. What fun to revisit old lists while waiting for school to let out.

Jennifer M says
Pick Me! I love it:) Iust started following your blog. I’m in love…
Elizabeth says
BAMBOO ME! I wish i was disciplined enough to keep one, neatly organized planner. Instead, I have 3 or 4 calendars or planners located in various locations throughout my day (office, home, purse). It makes it difficult to keep up with things, especially trying to keep all of my planners up-to-date!
Jill says
“BAMBOO ME”
Angela says
BAMBOO ME! Notepads galore. On my desk, in the kitchen drawer, in my purse. I think Allison and I would get along.
Laura says
BAMBOO ME! I tend to write notes on whatever I have laying around which usually ends up driving me crazy.
Amanda says
BAMBOO ME! With a new baby at home I can’t seem to remember anything and my to-do list keeps growing so there are notes all over the house!
Foodelf says
Bamboo Me – please! I maintain an online journal, but also keep notepads in strategic locations around the house to note the title of a book, the name of some music, shopping lists, etc.
I adore those pretty cards!
Thanks,
Foodelf
Grace says
bamboo me!
I write little notes i need to remember in my planner.
Michelle says
BAMBOO ME!
I have little handy note pads all over the house to grab and jot down notes when I come up with ideas or grocery lists.
Cara says
BAMBOO ME!
As a writer, I have paper everywhere so that I can (in theory) always be in a position to write something down. I have a small notebook in my purse and a big one by my bed.
Carrie says
“BAMBOO ME”
Post-it notes, I’m all about the post-its!

BAMBOO ME!
I have mini-yellow legal pads, a remnant from law school, all over my house and office to keep me from forgetting items such as my grocery list, work projects, birthdays, parties, and even particularly interesting dreams! :)

I write notes on my hand, on scrap paper, on the fridge dry erase board, whatever I can get my hands on…so BAMBOO ME!
Amelia Savage says
Bamboo Me! I’ve always made handwritten lists as I love crossing things off and the electronic lists don’t give you that satisfaction. I have lists on a desk calendar at work, and lists in a planner in my purse. But the planner has post-its, too, for those quick jots of things that get moved elsewhere.
Josie says
BAMBOO ME!…
Quite a few… I have recycled scrap paper at my desk for messages, a couple of ledger pads where I keep a list of each day’s task per page, a smaller note pad for smaller lists, sticky notes for reminders, and at home… well I just use whatever I can find. I also use the “Tasks” app on my phone for to-dos and reminders and carry a Moleskine day planner to journal what happens each day of my personal life and lists of websites, restaurants, jokes, etc. to remember. Somehow I keep track of it all!
Jamie says
“BAMBOO ME” I make lists on sticky notes so that I can cross things off and watch the lists disapear.
Aimee says
Bamboo Me! Unfortunately I try to rely a little too much on keeping my lists in my head, which is not the best strategy! I bounce around between using my phone and writting things down. . .that is once I’ve forgotten it 10 times by trying to just remember!
emily says
BAMBOO ME!!!!
I have all of my receipts in an envelope in my purse at all times in case I need to return something and write notes to myself on the envelope!
Maura says
BAMBOO ME! I am anal and I keep a list on my Outlook, in my purse and on my fridge. I just feel more satisfied when I can cross something off!
Emily says
BAMBOO ME!
Any old paper I can find! Wish I was more organized!
