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 only keep lists for two reasons 1) task list at the office and 2) packing lists for trips. I cross each thing off when it’s completed/packed, which makes me feel acchomplished!

    I print off coupons from online a lot and they usually print one to a page so I rip off the coupon and then write notes on the rest of the paper. I use the paper until its really full, usually with days or weeks worth of notes on one.

    Also, I use my phone to keep important notes/dates/etc.
    However, I’m a sucker for beautiful paper. lol

    I write to do lists for everything – it’s the only way I can clear my mind of all the “want to do” tasks, and prioritize the “need to do”. I find writing on paper is way better than the electronic alternatives. There is something so satisfying to crossing out a completed task!

    For daily items, like my shopping list,I use the blank side of used paper (recycling!) For DIY to-do lists and the like, I use an excel spreadsheet to keep a running list.

    Love the cards on this site…perfect for my daughter’s wedding thank you notes!

    In an effort to be more “green” and stop wasting paper, I make lists on my BlackBerry. The lists are always with me and I can edit them without using extra pieces of paper. It also keeps my purse much more organized. It used to look like a paper bomb exploded in there!
