Fab Freebie: This Is Your Pilot Writing

***This giveaway  is now closed – see who won below! ***

Clearly I’m not the only one who loves a good writing utensil (and Target card) as this giveaway reached our 10,000 entry cap within just 24 hours. Nice work team! So that means we get to crown a winner early. That lucky writer is… Heather F (who “writes notes on the back of envelopes and then loses them. Argh.”) Congrats Heather!

This sounds kinda weird, but I’m very particular about my writing tools. So when the folks at Pilot noticed that we tend to write with their products, they wanted to thank us by passing some freebies along. But you know we don’t take them, so we’re paying it forward in the form of a $500 prize to one of you. Now, before you start figuring out what the heck you’re gonna do with $500 worth of pens – let me stop you. While they’ll keep your hands busy with a variety of pens and highlighters (even some erasable varieties) they’re also gonna let our lucky winner pick out $150 worth of Levenger notebooks and organizers (since we could all use a little organization this time of year). Oh, and to round out the $500 prize, how does a $200 Target gift card sound? That way you can pick up any other items you need to get 2013 off to a productive and organized start.

Pilot Pen Giveaway

  • PRIZE: An assortment of Pilot products plus $150 towards the Levenger notebooks of your choice and a $200 Target gift card (total value $500).
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PILOT ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … your favorite way to take notes or scribble down a message. Do you always keep a ballpoint pen in your pocket or purse? Do you swear by pencils so that you can erase your misspellings? Or are you 100% digital and prefer to rely on phone apps and voice memos to keep you organized?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 16th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to 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 as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Pilot.="nofollow">

    I am torn between pencils and writing notes on my phone. I swear by mechanical pencils because I can never find a pencil sharpener when I need one!

    I use my iPhone sometimes for lists, but my favorite way to take notes and make lists is with a pen and paper — that way I get to cross off the things I’ve done and I can keep a running lists (some things I do immediately and some things stay on the list for a while — one item on my list right now is from eight months ago!).

    I always make handwritten notes, always in pen never pencil. Just the act of writing helps things stick in my mind.

    PILOT ME! Unfortunately I am hopelessly unorganized and scratch notes down on anything I can find from the backs of receipts to my kids’ construction paper! I have made it a resolution to become more organized and this prize would be an amazing start to that journey!!

    for serious note taking, a pencil is a must.

    for the quick and dirty (lol) i’ll whip out my cell phone, but sometimes ( about 40% of the time) i’ll actually have a notepad in my purse and i’ll dig around until i can find something (anything)

    I keep pens EVERYWHERE. I’m always losing them. I keep one or two in my purse, a few in my cars center console for writing down business miles. I hand write grocery lists. I am only digital when it comes to calendars…. that way my phone can alert me with a sound where a paper calendar can’t. :) Though, we do have a family paper calendar that my husband writes his scheduling stuff on for me. :)

    I HAVE to write everything down. My short-term memory is that of a two year old. ESPECIALLY in the grocery store- I will think of something I need, pass the ice cream isle, and end up with a cart full of Rocky Road!
    I always keep a pen and paper handy.

    Pilot Me! I am a huge fan of office suplies and of Target. I write notes the old fashioned way with pen (usually blue, but I get crazy with green, purple, orange, etc. every now and then) on paper. I have various types of notebooks, each with post-its in the front for additional writing.

    Give me a notepad to make my To Do list and then cross through it, and I’m a happy girl!
