***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.
- 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…

PILOT ME!!!!! I am about 75% digital when it comes to taking notes. I love that I always have my smartphone with me when I’m going to the grocery store or at the hardware store. Although nothing compares to making a list (shout-out to Sherry!) with a good old pen and paper, especially if it is something I want to keep out in the open to add and change as needed. And I must have a fine point pen when making all those important lists!
Whitney says
Pilot Me!
I always use a pen and notebook.
Jennifer says
Pilot me!!
As much as I try to go digital and make lists on my phone…I love good ‘ol fashioned pen & paper. I have notepads and lists all over the place, and always keep a pen (or 2) on me!
Lydia says
“PILOT ME!”……always keep a pen in my purse, and random pencils or pens around the house for writing out bills and love notes for husband of course :)

Bonnie says
PILOT ME! I love a good old fashioned ball point pen and thick notebook paper.
Lisa says
PILOT ME!
When I was teaching elementary school, I became very fond of a perfectly sharpened pencil, but now that I’m back in an office, I prefer pens. As much as I like to use technology in most places, I tend to revert back to good old fashioned pen and paper for most things, especially lists!
Nhia says
Pilot Me!
I love pens even if I can’t erase my mistakes I love to use them. They just glide better!

PILOT ME! I have pens EVERYWHERE: In my purse, car, on my desk, in the junk drawer…..My head would be way too jumbled if I had to try and remember everything!!
Ashley says
“PILOT ME!”
I’m an old school, Post It dork. I have handwritten lists and notes to myself stuck everywhere!
Guerrina says
PILOT ME!
I love the G-2 pens. They make writing so much easier for aching fingers! I prefer them for most all things except my check register or project sketches where I prefer pencil….and my last mechanical one just gave out!
Gwen says
Pilot Me !
I’m picky— the G-2 05 Pilot pen is the only way to go ! Smooth, legible and not to thick…. perfect for list making *blissful sigh*.
Justin Jackson says
PILOT ME! Gotta love the iPads for notes… Or writing comments, like this one :)

“PILOT ME!” Love to jot notes down in my Moleskin but if I don’t have that handy, then I just use one of my apps on my phone.

Pilot me :)

Brenda says
PILOT ME! I love the idea of going digital with my notes and reminders and calendar events…but truly, I still love to handwrite lists…so, I am digital and paper! I absolutely LOVE the Pilot Frixion pens, they are all I ever use these days! I am a happy girl when I have my Frixion pen, my moleskine notebook, and my iphone all within hands reach.
rebecca says
Pilot me! I make long lists then often lose them!
Kate says
Pilot me!
I have notes everywhere, because without them I would fall apart. Note in my phone, iPod, pocket calendar and even scraps of paper showed into the calendar. I’m organized chaos!
Catherine @ Happily Ever Crafter says
PILOT ME!
I do all of those things! I usually prefer writing with a ball point pen on lined “to-do list” style paper. I love to physically cross things off my list…it makes me feel more accomplished! I also use my phone if I don’t have a pen handy. I always carry several in my purse and I’m such a nut about collecting GOOD pens to write with! I hate picking up a pen only to find it doesn’t write well. Not to mention where I work there are never any good pens when you need them!
Emily says
Pilot Me!
I love notebooks. I’ve got a bit of a problem. I just can’t stop buying them (sort of like Sherry and pillows:-P)
Lynn says
Pilot Me !! I always have a pen and pad on a table next to my bed and also in my purse. Have to write everything down !!
Jill says
PILOT ME!
I’m so picky about my pens! I am a note-taker. Pens and post-its at work, good old fashioned lists at home for everything from groceries to wedding planning!
Amanda says
Pilot me! At home I use pens and love the satisfaction of crossing things off. At work (I’m a carpenter) I use pencils. Not just any pencils, but Dixon Ticonderogas.
Renee L says
PILOT ME!
I love pen and paper over digital,
Shannon says
PILOT ME!!
Even though I have a smartphone I still prefer to write lists and notes with a pen, usually on random pieces of paper that I will later lose.

PILOT ME!

Anne says
PILOT ME!
I love a pen with gel ink… and some sticky notes!!
Rebecca J says
Pilot me!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE writing lists with pen and paper, just so I can have the satisfaction of marking them off!
Karinny says
PILOT ME!
I love to write, I always carry different pens in my purse. The only thing I have with pencil is my telephone book, so it could be easily erased.
Hope to win this one!!!
Teresa says
Pilot Me! I’m a little OCD about the type of pen I use: I love a fine point gel pen, but find that the ones I’ve tried dry up or get clogged awfully quickly!
angel says

PILOT ME! a nice pen and post it notes!
Megan says
PILOT ME! I always have a pen or 5 in my purse, but I’ve finally come to the realization that I lose every note I write to myself, so I’ve started putting reminders in my phone. My problem with that is that I actually have to remember to go into the reminder app on my phone.
