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 am THE MOST forgetful person. I rely on all forms of reminders, from post-its to note pads and diy dry erase boards (old frames painted with fabric inside – the glass is the whiteboard) and Outlook reminders at work. However, I am most famous for having lists written on my left hand! Problem is, I use the initials of the to-do’s…..then I forget what I meant!!!

    BAMBOO ME! I have a magnetic post-it pad on the fridge and another non-magnetic one one in the entry area of the apartment. The more colorful the better! I’ve also been known to send a text message to my email account in a pinch.

    sadly, there is no rhyme or reason to note taking right now, which is why these are so very appealing!

    I’m a list making type of girl. I have a notebook on my desk at work for my weekly to-do lists along with post-its for daily tasks or messages. At home I have notepads in my kitchen and in our office for lists or just jotting something down.

    I use a “sticky note” app on my phone to keep track of things like my grocery list, my “need from Target” list, and things like that. At work, I am the queen of Post-it notes – at any given time, I probably have 20 stuck to my desk, all for different reasons!

    I used to have my Outlook Organizer calendar on my work computer, pads of paper everywhere, and a fridge with LOTS of magnets to stick little notes on. However, we now have a stainless steel fridge (so no magnets), and the random pieces of paper tend to get lost/recycled/shuffled from room to room. So now, appointments go in my cellphone with a reminder alarm, and every other note gets jotted on my wrist! It is a truly terrible note-taking system, and I am so looking forward to getting our new office set up so I can start a better system!

    At work, I use a spiral notebook for my to do list, but at home I’m more of a mental list keeper. Unfortunately, it’s not always so effective – so perhaps some lovely note paper is just what I need for inspiration!
