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 write lots of notes in different lists on my Blackberry.
kate says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep a couple of boxes of notecards in my desk drawer. That way they are always handy when I’m checking email or just messing around and I realize I need to write a card!
I have one box of “Thank You” cards and one box of “just because” cards!
Katherine says
Bamboo me. I make lists on leftover daily reports from my daughter’s daycare.

“BAMBOO ME”
I’m a notebook girl–love them & have them all over the place!
NIcole R. says
BAMBOO ME!!
I keep a notebook so everything is together (but my OCD takes over and every few days I move the To Do list to a new page lol).
valerie J. says
BAMBOO ME!
We’re a recycling scrap paper kinda family. There is always something on the other side of a note around here. Accounts for a lot of randomness so a nice looking box on the desk would be a good thing.
caitlin says
BAMBOO ME!
ashley says

I’m a list-maker! A fresh sheet every day. And desktop calendars and post-it everywhere!! I also have a menu workbook for grocery shopping and meal planning!
Korie says
Bamboo me!
I currently don’t have much of a note-taking process. I have a really good memory, so usually I just memorize the important stuff :) Although I do like to put birthdays in my phone calendar, just so I don’t have a chance to forget.
Tiffanie says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m a sticky note girl when I’m at my desk, but otherwise, everything gets consolidated on my iPad so I can keep it in one place!

BAMBOO ME!
I have a slot in my rolltop desk for assorted pads and scrap paper to jot notes on.

Ecochic says
BAMBOO ME!
Current notetaking habit is writing facebook messages or emails to myself with lists and memos for appointments.
Kara says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep trying different note-taking methods… I thought my iPhone Notes application was my answer but recently it started deleting things like oh… my grocery list. So moving right along…
Andrea says
BAMBOO ME!
I usually start out neat with a notepad for my notetaking but it always ends up on various bits of scrap paper for my to-do and to-buy lists. Eh, I guess it’s recycling?
Nichole@40daysof says
Bamboo Me!
Tracy says
BAMBOO ME!!
I’m more of a “list” person than a “notes” person, so I’m ALWAYS making a To Do list, whether it’s what I want to get accomplished over the weekend, or what new design ideas I have for our new house. I use the Notes App on my iPhone currently, but would LOVE a beautiful notebook to put my precious lists in!
Becky says
Sticky notes at work–I’d be lost without them.
I try digital stuff–but I just don’t stick to it. Maybe because it isn’t “sticky” Corny, I know
Ashley says
BAMBOO ME!!
I am a post it queen! I’m sure I’m being more than wasteful in my post it habits, but in my line of work it is necessary.
love you three!
Carolyn says
BAMBOO ME!
I write notes all the time and to do lists too!
Jessica Dunham says
BAMBOO ME
It’s all about my planner with sticky notes on top to point out the super important things!
CPMiller says
Bamboo me : ) I have to force myself to use my note pad on my iphone. I tend to want to write everything on little pieces of paper. So, keeping notes on my phone is a work in progress.
Krystal D. says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a list maker and a note taker with a really bad memory, therefore I have a day planner and calendar covered in notes, post-its covering my car’s dashboard, and those lovely desktop post-its all over my computer screen.
Dee says
BAMBOO ME…
I still keep notes on paper-I have notepads all over the house!
Carol S. says
Bamboo Me! I love post-it notes. I use them all the time.
Amanda says
Bamboo me!
I write notes on the inside of my wrist (tsk tsk). It’s a place that’s less visible but doesn’t smudge off like your palm. I need to be more high-tech!
Nikki F. says
BAMBOO ME!
I jot down notes for work on a writing pad and my outlook calendar. If I’m not at my desk, post-its and the nearest piece of scrap paper will do.
Jen says
Bamboo Me!
I am a fan of the post-it note to do list. :)
Mary S. says
BAMBOO ME!
I have little scraps of paper with my notes and lists floating around all over the place.

BAMBOO ME! I keep a notepad at every phone, along with a pair of reading glasses. Wouldn’t it be nice to have several stylish notepads around the house!
Becky says
Bamboo Me!
I keep a simple notebook handy whether at work or at home, so I can keep all my notes together in one place.
Shauna says
BAMBOO ME!
I would be lost without my outlook calendar but I rely on cut up squares of scrap paper for my note jottting.
Beth says
Bamboo Me! I really should invest in Post-It stocks. I have post-its everywhere.

BAMBOO ME! I just started carrying the tiniest Moleskine around with me, to write down all those tasks that come to mind at the most inconvenient times.

Katrina says
BAM. BOO. ME. NOW!!!!!!!!!
I am the Queen of notes.
Everyone knows a bag lady? I’m the note lady.
I have lists, ideas, questions, concerns, quotes, hopes, and dreams written on receipts, scrap paper, post-its,napkins,text messages,and the small notebook I keep in my purse, all of which is condensed weekly into my daily planner :-)
Nicole says
BAMBOO ME
In the office, I have several sticky note pads that I use, plus a regular memo pad for to-do items, and my task list that comes with my e-mail program.
At home, I have a white board on the fridge to write just about anything, and a list pad for groceries.
Kristin says
BAMBOO ME!!
I have a planner that I’ve taken to using for writing down my work schedule, birthdays, plans, etc. It has little scribbles all over it as well so I don’t forget anything!
Katherine says
BAMBOO ME! I am a to-do list lover. Although I use the task list feature on my BlackBerry, nothing beats the satisfaction of crossing out a completed item on regular old paper!
Monika says
BAMBOO ME!
I love using sticky notes! I have more colors than you can count on one hand and you can find them everywhere. I also have my day planner handy as well as a small moleskin notebook in my purse just in case something else needs to be jotted down.
Yay for shipping to Canada, thanks guys!
:)
Katherine says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a writer at heart… and always keep a pad of paper by my bedside lest inspiration strike at 3am (it’s ALWAYS 3am) and I lose my brilliant idea for world peace in the hunt for pen and paper.
rachael s says
Bamboo Me!
I use post-its and a little notebook that I have on my desk to write things down. I try to use the back and front of each piece so that I don’t waste any paper. :)
Alyssa says
BAMBOO ME!! I’ve always been a post-it person, but this new config where the sticky side alternates has me writing half my notes upside down!
jen says
BAMBOO ME
i have about 15 to-do lists going at once – one for work, one for the house, one for the baby (born the same day as clara!), one for me personally…. i have tried the high tech route and it doesnt work. i like the good old fashioned pen and paper method!
Stacy M says
BAMBOO ME!
Most of my notes and “To-Do” lists are written on scratch paper, that way I feel like I am somewhat recycling since the city I live in doesn’t have an established recycling prgram!
Emily says
Bamboo me!
I keep post-it notes in my kitchen, office, and living room to keep me organized. I also have a notepad by my bed and a grocery list pad on the fridge. I love making lists and always have to have stuff to jot thoughts onto. I also use the notes section on my iphone, but only if I’m found without a piece of paper! I’ve found that I still prefer the old fashioned writing it down on paper method so I can scratch items off! I feel so accomplished!
Dana says
BAMBOO ME! Wow, I love letterpressed cards, and eco letterpressed cards are even better!
I currently keep a pile of paper I saved from the recycling bin next to my desk. It’s already 100% post-consumer, but sometimes people print on one side only and drop it in the bin. I grab those pages and jot notes on the blank side before putting them back in the bin – reduce and reuse, right?
