***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!
Well I used to be a die hard note writer, like seriously I had notes to myself everywhere. I love using my dry erase marker on the mirror especially the night before a trip. However for Christmas my absolutely wonderful boyfriend got me a new Chromebook so I’ve slowly but surely been going digital!

Pilot me! I’m definitely a pen and notebook girl!

PILOT ME!! I have to write everything down or I’ll forget it! I love planners, to do lists and calendars! The problem arises when I forget to write stuff down in the first place! LOL!
Eva says
PILOT ME!!!
I’ve tried many a time (and failed) to make my to-do list digital. I use the calendar app on my phone a lot, but for daily to do lists nothing beats pen and paper.

PILOT ME!
I create a plan for the week on my computer, print it out and then use this ridiculous ‘flexi’ folder and a pen to update/alter the week’s plan and add to the growing to do list!

“PILOT ME!”
I’m a old fashioned pen and scrap paper girl!

Pilot me! In my former life (before I became a SAHM) I was a journalist. I am partial to a red pen for editing. Now, I like a red pen to write important dates on my calendar.

I like to write by hand, because I enjoy the art of very stylized writing…so I go for anything that will give me a smooth line; pen, pencil, marker, crayon…whatever I have on hand! =D
Keri says
Pilot me!
I’m a doctor’s assistant so all that I do is write with Pilot gel pens in patients charts. I love them!

PILOT ME!
I do all three. I always have both a pen and pencil in my bag and loads of pen holders all over my house but I try to do things digitally as well as I do tend to lose my little notes to myself sometimes. But I loooove pens.

Julie says
Pilot Me!
I am a notorious list-maker (*fist bump for $her-dog*). I keep a “journal” to keep track of my daily lists and tasks. I would love some awesome new pens. I’m also slated to write my sister’s wedding invitations with pretty calligraphy!
Toni says
Pilot me!
I use a mechanical pencil for work, but whatever I use must be smoooooth. I’m a writing utensil snob.
