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 have a moleskin notebook in my planner that I can keep lists in, but more often than not I end up with a bunch of post-its and scraps in my purse that I have to compile onto one master list so I don’t lose my mind.

    I am a chronic list maker. I have a moleskine notebook in my purse with graph paper, and then I have several sticky pads around the house. Oh, and a spiral notebook that I put magnets on the back so it stays on the fridge!

    BAMBOO ME! I have a journal that I keep by my phone for voicemails, and my favorite part is that the pages are perforated, so I can tear them out if I need to! That probably doesn’t sound exciting to you, but it rocked my boring little office world!

    I am all about paper. I can’t keep things straight when they’re on a cell phone or email. It has to be on paper. I keep a little pad near my bed, and each night I make a “to do” list for the morning. I usually make one for housework in a larger pad and one for errands in a smaller pad. That way I can take my “errands” list with me in my purse.

    I hope I win! I love the style!

    Great giveaway- I think Smock Paper’s website is jammed due to the insane amount of traffic you’re sending their way! crazy!

    I don’t really have one way to take down notes and ideas. I always have note paper close by at home: next to the computer, phone, in the kitchen. I’ve also found that my smart phone makes jotting down notes and scheduling much easier. That way I will always have my reminders on hand.
