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…

Well, sticky notes are a must. I write my notes on them and then stick them on my laptop by the trackpad so I’ll be sure not to miss them.

BAMBOO ME~
I have a full notebook for jotting things down in. I keep it next to my computer (since I’m always there) and if anything pops into my head that I know I’ll forget, it goes in the notebook.
Casey says
BAMBOO ME, BABY!
I cannot even explain how much I love Smock’s designs.
I follow GTD, so my central info source is my Palm, but I keep a ton of cute notebooks around everywhere (in my car, on my bedside table, in my bathroom drawer, even) so if inspiration or sudden memory strikes, I can capture the thought instantly. Then I transfer everything to the Palm.
I love receiving handwritten notes, so I try to follow the golden rule and SEND loverly handwritten notes! Smock would aid in that endeavour beautifully.
Shannon says
Bamboo Me!!! I use post-its at work, home and in my purse to keep track of my to do lists and shopping lists.
Kristi D says
BAMBOO ME!
My system is a combo of scrap papers I carry around, marker notes on our bathroom mirror, and notes on my ipod.
Jan says
BAMBOO ME, too!
I am always a bit intimidated by beautiful note paper as my handwriting is, well, illegible. I have used just about everything for notes, which is my downfall. I am getting better though as I am using Evernote (iPhone app and on my desktop) for web clipping, taking pictures of things I need to remember, and voice notes. What I love most about Smock is their wrapping paper which would look beautiful in the bottom of drawers…

I love making lists, so I always have scraps of paper, backs of empty envelopes, old receipts, etc, lying around for me to take notes on.
Emily says
BAMBOO ME! I have notepads everywhere. In the kitchen for groceries and to-do lists & reminders, at my desk for just about anything, and I keep a small notebook in my purse for writing things down (for instance, I am forever forgetting what size furnace filter we need). I recently retrieved a stack of old ‘thank yous’ from the garbage pile when cleaning out a retired co-workers office, and use the backs of those for notes at work.

Bamboo me, please :)
