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…

    Bamboo me! I generally have a notebook for work (oh, make that two), a planner, and a stack of already-printed on 8X11 paper that I use for scrap (grocery lists, etc) and for the kids whenever they want to draw… I

    BAMBOO ME!

    I take used printer paper that I no longer need and cut it into little notepads. I always keep at least one within reach so that I can jot down a quick note when needed.

    Bamboo me!

    I keep a little spiral notebook next to my phone at work for jotting down notes, callback numbers, etc. I like having a log to go back to for reference if necessary. Plus, I don’t often have the opportunity to write pen-to-paper, which is something I LOVE doing. :)

    Bamboo me!

    I tear used printer paper into quarters and clip them together with a binder clip as my scrap paper. It generally works well, but when I need to take it on the road, I prefer a little professionally-bound notebook.

    BAMBOO ME! It’s almost 8 pm EST! I’ve taken to using electric post-its on my computer at work. At home I’m all about re-using junk mail.

    Hi guys – sorry to ask about this, but I was planning on ordering something from Smock before this giveaway and I thought I saw a little note in here about a discount code that you guys might have for us after the giveaway ended… am I smoking something? I guess this isn’t the best venue for this question, I feel like I am calling you out on something! Sorry if there is any offense… :( Just didn’t want to miss out on a little bit of savings if there was something coming… Cheap-o me. :) Thanks!

      Hey Cheryle,

      We were actually hoping to have a discount code to share with you, but we didn’t get that info back in time. Perhaps it’ll make an appearance in this month’s sponsor shout out though! Stay tuned!

      xo,
