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…

BAMBOO ME!
I am a crazy list-maker and I am always writing lists on anything I can find (envelopes, magazine, back of receipts, etc). I am also obsessed with cards of every kind. I’m always on the lookout for cute cards and I have a box full of cards for every occasion!
jess says
BAMBOO ME!
I take notes the old fashioned way – by hand! I also jot down lists on any scrap paper, back of receipts, ripped envelopes, etc. I am a teacher however, and am always looking for pretty papers to liven up my desk! :)

Courtney says
BAMBOO ME! I almost always have a notebook with me (I am definitely a Type-A list person!) but if I need to I’ll take notes on my iPhone or put my lists in a Word doc- I don’t get as much satisfaction crossing things off though when I make my lists electronically!

Bamboo me..I love post-it..I have it all the time in my purse/bag/anything
mkerwin says
BAMBOO ME! I’m addicted to note pads. I have them everywhere; purse, fridge, desk, doors.
Michelle says
Bamboo me! I use a combination of several note-pads as well as random scraps of paper to write things down with. Which might explain why I can never find those to do notes!
Stephanie says
Bamboo Me!
And I jot down notes on whatever scrap of paper I can find lying around. Today’s newspaper, a post-it, one of the bajillion free real estate notepads they leave for us, etc.
GuavaGal says
Bamboo me! I have a medium-sized notebook at my desk, a small notebook in my purse, and post-its galore. It’s possible my paper addiction knows no bounds.
Jennifer B says
BAMBOO ME!!
I use a notepad app on my phone to record notes – it’s awesome and I always have my phone with me, so I always have something to take notes on!
Sarah Johnson says
Bamboo me! I use my iPhone notepad and then transfer stuff to an “errands app” that is a running to do list for everything! I have categories set up and reminders sometimes, too! It lets me set repeat items as well!
Melanie says
Bamboo me!!! I’m a crazy list lady with a small purse notebook, multiple moblie phone memos, and the random stick note reminders.
mish says
BAMBOO ME!!
I love cute paper. I love making lists. I love leaving notes.
Ann says
Bamboo Me!!!!
Deborah Gosling says
Bamboo me – I use a small spiral notebook to keep my to-do lists. I’ve tried PDAs, but I like the physical act of writing it down and then crossing it off!
The Modern Gal says
BAMBOO ME!
My lists go in one of two places: day-to-day stuff goes on a mini yellow legal pad. My current legal pad has pages and pages of to-do lists! For long-term stuff like lists of things I need to do for planning our wedding or lists I needed to help me make my big move to my new house — those go in a lined journal my best friend gave me. It has a silly little chicken drawing on the front and says ‘Yoga for Chickens’ and has a pocket on the inside for receipts and things. Hard not to smile!
Leigh says
Bamboo Me!
I use the computer program “Things” for all my to dos. Since I have an iPhone I can take it on the road with me. So nice and easy!
Toni says
Bamboo Me! at my work desk, I use post-its or a pad of paper. On the go, I use my Blackberry – usually send myself an email.
Brittany says
BAMBOO ME! I keep sticky notes at my desk… but when I’m on the go I’m usually hunting through my purse looking for a scrap piece of paper.
Amy S. says
Bamboo me. I always keep notes in my outlook and iPhone. I’d be a little lost without them.
Kim says
“BAMBOO ME”
I keep 5 different colored post-it pads on my desk, each one for a day of the week. So, then I know what day I wrote it that week when I have to go back and revisit that thought or “to do”.
Fran says
Bamboo Me
Becky C says
Bamboo me
I’ve yet to meet a small notebook I didn’t love.
Jessica says
BAMBOO ME!
I am all about notes and lists: I love a magnetic pad on the refrigerator for shopping lists and phone messages, and Post-its are the best at work!
Amber F says
BAMBOO ME! I love post-it notes, I have them everywhere!
Kate says
BAMBOO ME! I love bamboo products! We actually have bamboo sheets for our bed, WAY softer than any cotton product I’ve ever tried! We LOVE them!
I am a list-maker! I keep two notepads on the fridge, one is a blank note pad where we write out dinners for the week and other reminders. The second is a special grocery-list one by Real Simple. When we run out of something, just mark it on the list, then when we go to the grocery store we make sure we don’t forget anything!
I also keep a running to-do list at work… it gets longer each day even as I cross stuff off, though! :)
Kris says
Bamboo Me!
I’m a journalist, so I have a notepad on me at all times, but we also keep one on the fridge and on our desk near our computers.
Kelley says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m such a sucker for notepads. I’m the queen of the ‘to do’ list. I love to write things down and then cross them off one by one. :)

BAMBOO ME! I love notes. It doesn’t get accomplished without notes!! I’ve got a pad on my desk, on the fridge, and in my purse.
Katie C says
bamboo me!
Since I spend way too much time on my computer, I tend to jot down notes on a sticky note program and leave them all over my desktop. Otherwise, I end up jotting them down in the margins of my research notebook, which is perhaps not the best idea…
pamela says
Bamboo me!!! I could not survive without a note pad in every room of the house – well, nearly every room! They are the only way to keep me “on task!”

Bamboo Me!
I have no system for notetaking and have notes everywhere on whatever scrap of paper I can find.

BAMBOO ME! Post It’s baby. My office world would be lost with out Post It’s.
bindc says
BAMBOO ME!!
I have paper everywhere. I have a notebook in my purse where I log important phone calls and events. I have a book next to my bedside when ideas pop in my head and I need to write it down before it slips away. I have scrap paper on my desk when I take phone calls. And I have lovely note cards for birthdays, thank yous, and just because(s).
Paper, especially beautiful note paper, are always near by.
Lauren Parker says
Bamboo me!
At home I put up stickies on my mirror so I don’t forget things in the AM before work
In my purse I carry a small notebook (with pockets of course) to jot stuff down and my to do list

I’ve worked at a couple of bookstores, and that page-a-day calendars that don’t sell are often taken home by employees to be used for scrap paper, and they are the best! i keep a partial year’s worth on my desk in my bedroom, and i keep a nice little pad of paper in my purse, with a pen. works great!

I have to keep a small planner in my purse at all times. I jot down appointments, classes, things I want to do, returns, etc… I also jot down random notes and post stickies all over inside of it… what can I say, I love things that help me stay on top of life.
