***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!
For brainstorming and sketching floor plans, only a very good pen will do and I love those notebooks. I’ve been hoarding a few bought overseas before they were available in the U.S. so I guess now I can use them.

“Pilot Me!” I love the pilot precise blue pens. They are my fave! Thanks for the giveaway.
Karen A. says
PILOT ME! I try to be 100% digital because it means that any information I need can PROBABLY be found in one place…emphasis on probably. But, sometimes, you just need to jot a note. Problem is I write incomplete notes and I can’t read my writing, besides. When I do write, I, too, am very picky about my pens (don’t like a pencil unless it’s mechanical). The point has to be just so.
Jen says
PILOT ME! I actually use the “notes” app in my iPhone for quick reminders, but I prefer to keep my project planning on paper and I like extra-fine pens, in purple if possible. :)
Alicia says
PILOT ME! I am a gel pen girl, my husband is alllll about mechanical pencils.
Wendy G says
Pilot me!
I am a big pen and paper note taker/list maker (just got the urge to sing Blondie…she’s a note taker, list maker!!) I’m actually doing what I call a (probably) Sherry-approved calendar project. I bought a super cute journal and wrote the month and day on top of each page. I write the year and one thing that happened that day on the top line. Next year I’ll write one thing that happened on that day on the following line. Hopefully it’s something I will actually keep up with!
Nate says
Pilot Me! I usually just grab a sticky note and a black get pen – gotta have the gel pen.

Kelly S. says
PILOT ME!
Ilove to use cute pads of paper or sticky notes. I usually have a roller ball style of pen as those seem to write very smoothly.
Amanda says
PILOT ME!!!
I am obsessed in a bad way with post-its. They are all over my desk, all over my wallet and all over my calendar :) Organized madness does wonders for me :) I have started to use my iPhone calendar which is a tad mind blowing.

Pilot me, please!
Lyndsey says
PILOT ME!
LMG says
PILOT ME!
Aubrey says
Pilot me!
I prefer pen over pencil. Pens write smoother and you can just scribble mistakes out. Who wants to bother flipping the pencil over anyways? 99% of the time I write my lists down and if they are digital I have to eventually write ’em out.
Megan says
Pilot me! I love writing things with pen. It’s much more satisfying than pencil.
Elisabeth Lyons says
Pilot me!!
I am all about felt tipped pens :)
Anna says
PILOT ME! My last name is Pillot, so I’ve been privy to a lot of “pilot” puns.
