***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 a big fan of old school pen+paper…I love to make a list and cross things off! Such satisfaction!
Wrenaria says
PILOT ME! I enjoy all forms of note making: pen, pencil, and electronic.
Jackie Gerlach says
Pilot me! I also LOVE Pilot pens for correcting papers. I’m a teacher and they feel like pure luxury. I have been using the Stickies computer program to write my to-do lists lately.
ChristyfromCanada says
Pilot Me!
For personal list and notes- iPhone notes
For work lists and notes- sticky notes and pen
Talia says
PILOT ME!
I religiously scribble down notes with a ballpoint (the same kind I’ve been using for ten years). Sure, I can’t find it the next day, but I can’t find the notes I leave on my phone, either.
Allyssa says
PILOT ME!
I’m a pen and paper person. I’ve tried doing everything electronically, but nothing beats writing things down (and hopefully crossing them off)!
Evie says
PILOT ME!
I like to use my el cheapo pens (they come in a pack of 4 for a $1.00). Black ink to make it legal.
Susie Hamlin says
PILOT ME! Love me a nice gliding pen! My hubby is a Pilot Pen fan – and turning 60 this year, so he will be the lucky recipient. I just won’t tell hm about the gift cards or notebooks…
Anne says
PILOT ME!
As a teacher, I always keep a pen attached to my lanyard so I have one handy for writing hall passes, notes, and a grades. Post-its are my best friend. I could really use $500 worth of pens and highlighters for my classroom!
Ashley says
PILOT ME! I use pens and notebooks daily for most lists. I occasionally use my phone for notes but I prefer paper.
Megan says
Pilot Me!!!
I need some new pens and I love pilot!
Laurel says
Pilot me!
Real business is done on paper (with pens)!!
Jody says
Pilot me! I’m known for my pilot pens at work- sooo smooth. I especially love blue, although I also enjoy coordinating with the color of my shirt at times too. I hang them on my ID badge necklace thingy, so I’m always ready to click and write. Soooo smooth.
piper says
PILOT ME! i keep a mechanical pencil in my hair for notetaking on the go!
ElaineMicheline says
“PILOT ME!”
Jill says
Pilot me! I use the Bamboo Notebook app. I don’t use a stylus either…I’m crazy like that!
Lindsey says
Pilot me!!
I am a slight bit obsessed with pens and pencils!!! I love writing with a smooth pen, and grading lots of papers with ball points! What an awesome giveaway
Carrie E says
PILOT ME! I love black pens, mechanical pencils and yellow highlighters… only yellow, no other colors!
Crystal says
Pilot me!
I use crayons. With three kids it’s the one thing I’m always guaranteed to find.
Danielle says
“PILOT ME!” and there is nothing better than writing with the Pilot G2. My husband and daughter got me hooked on this pen. It’s wrong to love a pen this much….though secret dork alert, I worked at a Stationer’s Store when I was in high school and my favorite day of the week was pen/pencil restocking day or when new pens came in for testing. It’s where I first discovered the beauty of a gel pen….
Toby says
Pilot Me! I have no system whatsoever–random bits of paper are in my purse, by my nightstand and in my car. I can never find a writing utensil (and I’m a teacher!) Would love this fab giveaway!
Lisa W. says
Pilot Me! I’m a pen and paper girl. I have notes everywhere!
Carrie says
Pilot Me! I love my pen and paper for making lists!
Ashley T says
PILOT ME! I’m a fan of blue pens. For some reason, they just seem much more exciting than black.
Kim Wethe Rily says
“PILOT ME!”
I usually accidentally get pens from work stuck in my pockets. Also, since my dad flies a lot for work (okay, flew a lot for work) he would always grab hotel pens. He decided to gift me with them, so I have about a million cheap Holiday Inn pens that I will never be able to use all of.
I’m starting to get the hang of this i-Phone, and have not yet bought my paper purse calendar, so… we’ll see what happens this year.
Katherine Hendricks says
PILOT ME! I love a good quality pen and a legal pad:)
Beth W. says
PILOT ME!
I always have several pens with me. I especially like the gel blue or purple ones. At work, I’m all about the post-its, but at home I have a whiteboard in the kitchen and a paper list on the fridge.
Jill says
PILOT ME! While I love my smartphone, notes and lists are pen and paper. If I put them in the phone, they wouldn’t be in front of my face, resulting in major fail forgetfulness.
Abby says
PILOT ME!!! I love sharpie pens, or ball point pens when I’m in a hurry
Malia torrone says
Pilot me!
Amy W. says
Pilot me! I seriously need this – I’m a high school teacher and am constantly using up and/or losing pens and notebooks!

I keep all my notes organized in a single notebook. That way everything is handy, regardless of what meeting I’m in!
Missy says
Pilot me

PILOT ME! I always use a ball point pin except when adding information to my address book. Then I use a pencil.
Jenna says
PILOT ME!
I’ve tried to go digital but it just isn’t the same as taking pen to paper and crossing out all of those items on your to-do list! I always have a pen handy!
Ashleigh W. says
Pilot me! I always keep a pen and a pad of paper on or near me.
Rebekah says
PILOT ME!
I’m a middle school teacher, and I never go anywhere without pens. I usually wear 2 or 3 on my lanyard at school. I like using bright colors, because a failing grade in green isn’t nearly as bad as a failing grade in red…
