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!
When I’m at my desk I make lists, etc. on scrap paper. I also carry a notebook in my purse (and I shove all my receipts to return things, etc. in there so I always have them with me).

jenn r says
BAMBOO ME!
I take notes everwhere and on everything. I have an awesome planner, but somehow it manages to never be handy when I need to jot something down. I write on post-its, notepads, receipts, anything.

I’m not very organized, but I’m trying to get better. I have a planner that I ordered through my work budget and I’m starting to use it more often. My desk at work is covered in sticky notes.

BAMBOO ME
I have pads and pads of post-it notes (swag from various conferences) that I used to keep notes on both at home and at work. In my purse I have a pad of paper with a pen attached (also conference swag)!
If I’m near a computer I’ll usually just e-mail myself or use notepad.cc (a nifty website to keep notes on). I’ll often text message myself a note to have it in my phone!

BAMBOO ME
I try to be as organized as possible and I always carry around a small sketchbook to write down ideas, observations, reminders, notes, etc. with me. Though when it comes to scheduling things I’m always putting appointments, deadlines, and meetings in my iCal so I have my computer or phone giving me an alarm as a reminder.

I use my iPhone – especially for running lists of groceries or other necessities because I always have it with me.
Renee says
Bamboo me!
I constantly make lists of things to do and buy. When we bought our house I made a list for each room, what needed done first and then future projects too. And if I do something that isn’t on my list, I’ll write it down for the pure satisfaction of crossing it off.
Devon says
Bamboo me…’cause my old-school Palm Pilot needs new batteries, and my state-issued personalized notepad at the office is too ugly to use for general note-taking.

BAMBOO ME!!!
Google Tasks is the way to go as far as quick notetaking.
