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 keep an ongoing to-do list on a notepad on my desk. I love the satisfaction of crossing things off! (Also, I’m such an organization freak that I’ve been known to add something to the list that I’ve recently finished JUST so I can then cross it off. Crazy, I know.)

    I’ve got those little clear acrylic stamps you get at the craft store. When I get a new stack of post-its I stamp some of them (Monday, Memo, Grocery, Reminder!, etc.) Found it to be much easier to keep track of than fields and fields of yellow squares. xD

    My husband saves the packages of local coupons that come in the mail, the ones that are just plain paper on one side. We flip them over, and use a binder clip to clip them together. We then keep these “notebooks” around the house.

    I keep a tiny moleskin journal in my wallet for on the go notes.

    By my phone at home a I have pretty blue and white journal with perforated pages for “to do” lists.

    For grocery lists I use the sheets from a, seemingly, never ending supply of paper pads that realtors leave on my doorstep.

    I actually keep a couple of different notebooks in my purse. One is for music that I hear or discover on the net that I want to later research. Another is for photography tips or ideas that I come across, and the last is for ideas for my home. Whenever I think of something that needs to be updated in our house, I jot down EVERYTHING it will take to get it done (down to the color, size, shape…well you get the idea). Voila! I never lose those things that I want to remember!
