Fab Freebie: Bamboo-tiful

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

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.

Smock Cards

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.

Smock Jotters

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.

Smock Memos

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.

Smock Boxes

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…

See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Smock Paper.

    I take pictures with my cell phone, use old receipts from my purse, and I have a sketchbook at home that I jot things down on.

    I leave notes on any scrap paper I can find, but found that they would get lost. However, recently I have started using my iphone more to make lists. So far so good.

    I write notes on any scrap piece of paper I can find. I have a big white board in my office, too, but it doesn’t get used as much as it could because doing so requires that I get out of my chair. (Can you say “Lazy”?)

    I use sticky notes like it’s nobody’s business…Especially since I am in school, EVERYTHING goes on sticky notes at first…Then, if necessary, the info gets moved to my planner, or my bulletin board…I also have a pad of sticky notes in the car, just in case I hear something on the radio that I want to jot down (after pulling over to the side of the road, of course!)…

    I have a spiral “handy dandy” notebook which has all info in it for a year- phone numbers, paint colors, meetings, estimates- I know all info is in there somewhere!
    Sometimes I carry it around on my cute clip board! It makes me look more “official”. haha

    I typically have little pads of paper everywhere that I jot notes down on (I’m a big believer in lists). But I recently got an ipod and typed my grocery list on that, so maybe I’ll eventually switch to that for everything.

    Bamboo me, please!

    I write notes, and more so quotes, on everything. Sometimes when I’m cleaning out drawers and stacks of papers and such, I find the oddest things written down: quotes, songs or lyrics I liked and wanted to look up, things to do and buy, people to call… but I write down notes most often on the inside covers of books. I like to think someday, someone will buy that book from a used book store and think “who was this person who owned this before, and what are these ramblings!” Because I always think those are such treasurers to find when I buy a used book.
