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 MEE!!
I have random scraps of paper in my purse and I use my notebook on my iphone often. Taking pictures, with my iphone is also a must!
Jennypenny says
Bamboo Me!
I just use plain ol’ canary yellow post-its at work. At home, things are jotted on whatever I can find which usually ends up being junk mail or something. And I wonder why I throw away notes so often.
Page says
BAMBOO ME!!
I’m a little OCD and I keep a notebook for different things: one for grocery lists, one for projects around the house, one for my to-do list, one for misc. Crazy? Yes :)
Marianne says
Bamboo Me!
I keep notes on squares of recycled paper from rescued work printer paper. Then, every once and a while I try to mash them into one list of actual tasks. As I write this it occurs to me ther may be a better way… :-)
Serena says
BAMBOO ME!
I have post-its stuck all around my desk at work. If I’m out, I put it in my Blackberry. And I keep notepads in my kitchen and home office. Hmm… maybe I need more organization.
Stephanie C. says
BAMBOO ME…I used to write everything in my planner, but lately I’m relying on my phone.
Meghann P. says
BAMBOO ME! I use whatever is sitting next to me – scrap paper, backs of envelopes, send myself an email…whatever it takes to get it written down!
Melissa S. says
Bamboo me!
Sharon says
Bamboo me!! Note pads everywhere! I am a sucker for nice stationary!
Ellen says
BAMBOO ME!!
At work, I have to print a lot to review things. So, I keep my to-do lists on the backs of the printed pages once I’m done using them. It makes me feel like I’m getting more use out of the papers before I shred them!
Merris Tozer says
BAMBOO ME!
I use mini spiral notebooks and sticky notes. My desk is covered with them.
Amy says
BAMBOO ME!
Lovely stuff. My notes go on sticky’s (the physical kind and the Mac kind).
Kim says
BAMBOO ME! I would LOVE these–I take notes for a living as a writer! In the office I get stuck with boring yellow legal pads–zzzzzz. I would love to use Smock Paper instead. Their stuff is beautiful!
Jill W. says
BAMBOO ME…
I’m an old fashion kind of girl who writes everything down on good old paper.
Lauren R. says
BAMBOO ME!
Lately I have been noticing an array of sticky notes collecting in my purse with notes on them (a song to remember to download, a quickie shopping list for afterwork, etc). I think its safe to say I could use a better system!
Rae says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep a notebook by my computer. I use it to dootle, write reminders, to do list and random thoughts.
Cassie says
Bamboo Me!!
I always keep a notepad in my bag. I pretty much planned our wedding on one and had all phone numbers/locations and dates with me at all times.
Michelle H says
BAMBOO ME!
I am a sticky note junky. I actually have to keep them away from my workspace and just keep my trusty Molskine next to me. Otherwise notes and important info go on the sticky notes and then they end up getting lost.
Brooke says
Bamboo Me!
Note taking? Well, I am a little post-it obsessed… they are everywhere! I probably need to be thinking of an organizing system before they take over my life!
Jillian says
Bamboo Me!
I use the notes App on my iPhone to take notes and keep track
Terry, Curious & Company says
BAMBOO ME!
i’m definitely a scrap paper in the purse person. although often i’ll be stuck with several pens and no paper… but that’s neither here nor there.
Sarah @ The Ugly Duckling House says
BAMBOO ME
I usually use the memo app on my phone to keep track of my to-do lists.
I’ve been shopping recently for paper to line my new dresser with, and this would be perfect timing!
Mary says
BAMBOO ME!
i have post its at work that i use all the time for notes, but if something is super important, i put it in my moleskine that i always have with me in my purse.
thanks!

Natalie says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m Queen of the Paper Note! I prefer hand written notes-whether they’re grocery lists, reminders, or love notes for my husband. I also just invested in an embossing tool to make my own note cards to send to people. So fun!
Jen says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep notebooks and pads of paper everywhere!
Lisa says
BAMBOO ME!
I have a notebook that I carry everywhere and keep all my to-dos and grocery lists all in one place.
jane says
bamboo me!
i am quite fond of emailing myself important notes and to dos. but post-its are a very close second. especially neon ones!
katie didit says
BAMBOO ME!!
Are you kidding, there is scratch paper (in the form of recycled paper, sticky notes, and pads) in every single room of my house…except the bathroom :)
Aja says
BAMBOO ME!
Notes! I’m sure I drive my husband crazy sometimes, so I try to keep them to a minimum at home.. :)
Courtney F. says
BAMBOO ME
At work, I have a ton of little scratch pads to jot things down on, as well as a lot of scrap paper (I work in a library). If I need to remember something at home, and I think of it at work, I tend to send myself an email.
Katie says
BAMBOO ME!! I keep a notepad next to my bed and in my office, and I also keep an extra box of thank you cards in my work bag, at home, and at my desk so that I can appropriately thank people even when I’m on the go.
Cheryl says
BAMBOO ME
I just have a few pads of paper around the house.
Stacy says
Bamboo me! We take notes all the time – generally leave a pad out for grocery shopping and addresses if we are going somewhere we haven’t been before and need the garmin. Also have a to do list at work.
kelly says
BAMBOO ME!
i had a great system of colored sticky notes for certain things on my desk before i got pregnant. now i am almost 7 months and my brain has gone to mush! i keep notes in my phone now, but then forget to look at them most of the time now :)
Amy says
Bamboo Me!! I write everything in cute little notebooks, my husband i love going back and reading all of our little lists and travel plans!
Amy says
Bamboo me!
I jot down notes all day long at work just on scrap paper and Post-Its. Sometimes I’ll look at them a few days later and have no idea why I wrote down what I did but oh well! Usually, they are extremely helpful. I also can’t go to the store without a list.
Sarah says
BAMBOO ME!
I cut pieces of used paper into quarters and keep a stack by my phone at work. At home, I’ve received stacks of grocery store lists over the years, so I keep one in a junk drawer or basket in the kitchen, living room, bedroom and home office in case scrap paper is needed.
patricialynn says
BAMBOO ME!!
I’m a big believer in the Household Binder system…so most of my notes are in my binder for easy access at home and out about. However, when I am leaving a note for my hubby-to-be, I tend to use a post-it note on the computer (the one place I can guarantee he will check!).
Susie says
BAMBOO ME! My note taking is dependent on post-it notes, they are all over my work area and without them I would probably be lost!
Chelsey says
BAMBOO ME! I write notes on random pieces of paper–which is definitely not a great system. I also try to keep a notebook in my purse, but it somehow keeps disappearing (ahem, kids!).
Mary Ann says
BAMBOO ME!
I work back and forth between notes on my phone and a paper stuck to the fridge as well as a word document on my laptop. It’s slightly haphazard, but at least I get some things done. :o)
Sarah @ Dream in Domestic says
BAMBOO ME!
I keep about five notepads at my desk, one in my purse, and a little notebook to write all my random lists and thoughts down. I would be an even bigger mess if I didn’t jot down notes all day of things to remember, things to do, etc. I need to figure out a way to better organize them, though, because they eventually end up in piles all over my desk.
Mary says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I have a 12 different sheets of paper with one or two things jotted on them!
I need help!! I have papers in my purse that are floating around in there without any organization……..
Stephanie H. says
Bamboo me … I jot down notes or to dos using the notes app or my Remember the Milk app on my phone.
Britney says
BAMBOO ME!
I’m an obsessive list-maker (it’s a problem) and I usually jot down my lists on bright colored post-its.
Brianna says
BAMBOO ME!
I use my Blackberry checklist program. Amazeballs.
Kate says
BAMBOO ME! I’ve bought products in the past from Smock and I can vouch for their excellent quality, beautiful designs, and vivid color. As far as note-taking goes, I usually have a notepad next to my computer and in my kitchen so I can jot things down whenever I think of them.
coley b says
Bamboo Me! I keep a small notebook in my purse that I use to make grocery lists, to do’s, etc…most of the time I know where to find it, but my little girls also like to take it out of my purse at home and use it as a coloring notebook.
stephanie says
BAMBOO ME!
i use a notepad as my mousepad… and tend to email reminders back and forth my husband while at work so we’re on the same page that evening!
Grace says
BAMBOO ME!
I have a moleskine & sticky notes on my desk, and a block of sticky notes in my car for when I’m on the go…
