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.

    BAMBOO ME!

    I keep notes everywhere…I have a running to-do list on my planner (I’m a teacher), I worship sticky notes, I save scrape pieces of paper for notes, I use the “notepad” feature in my cell phone when I don’t have access to a pen and paper…just to name a few!!

    If I don’t write it down, it never happened!

    I keep notes everywhere, but most importantly, for work. I keep a log book just in reach of my right hand at all times – anytime I e-mail, talk to, or telephone someone I write down their name and some short reason for contact in order to jog my memory later. In a job where the substantiation for your position is in your contacts, it’s vitally important for me to keep good notes! If they’re good looking notes, that a super plus!!!

    Bamboo me! I keep notes, scraps of paper, pads, stickies, etc. everywhere. Of course my desk at my office is covered with random pieces of paper and sticky-note reminders, but you’ll find that my house, purse and car are no different! I do like keeping things organized in spreadsheets and tasks through my email as well… but it just isn’t quite the same as a bright pink post-it yelling at you to follow-up on something already. That said, this giveaway is perfect for me! :)

    I’m a fanatical note taker. I can barely remember the first digit of a phone number by the time someone gets to the last one, so I have post-its *everywhere*. I buy those babies by the dozen. I even keep a small notebook in my purse for note taking on the go. It’s been an absolute lifesaver.
