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 on whatever’s handy – usually those free realtor pads or the things I pick up from the dollar bin at Target.

    I’m still old-fashioned: I have a little wire-bound notepad (like the kind we had to buy in grade school to write down our homework on) for all my little notes.) Even though I have an iPhone, I still find it faster to just write things down.

    As a graphic designer, I love all things paper – love it! So I would do anything to get my hands on this bamboo paper! I keep my notes on whatever I can find to write on . . . I try to stick with post-its and a small notebook but my desk is a mess, so I often grab for the first piece of paper.

    I keep my daily to-do lists on printer paper that I stuff into my calendar so I don’t lose them. Also, as a student looking for a job, any time I have an interview, I write the follow-up thank you card and then stuff it into my calendar so I don’t lose it either!

    I keep notes in two spots. I have a day planner that I jot notes in and I also keep a notebook beside my laptop where I can jot down notes as well. My hubby keeps wanting me to use something more “techie” but I prefer the good old paper & pencil method!
