***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…

Oops! I messed up my email address on my comment. This one is correct.
Pilot me!

PILOT ME!
I hardly ever use my phone because I don’t get the same satisfaction I do from physically crossing things off on paper. And as for paper, it’s almost always scrap and usually pen. Though sometimes I get a jonesin’ for a pencil
Diana says
Pilot me!
I like making list on notepads with fine-tipped sharpies, and writing everything else from gift ideas to bill reminders to favorite songs on the post-it app on my MacBook Pro!
Ashley@AttemptsAtDomestication says
PILOT ME!
I love a good pen and paper! Nothing beats being old school!
Lindsay says
Pilot Me!
I keep pens in my purse and write on random scraps of paper. Got to have a pen in the purse so that you can cross off items on the grocery list!
Betsy says
pilot me!
Natasha says
PILOT ME!!!
I feel like this give away was made for me! I make multiple lists everyday and I’d say I only look at them about 25% of the time. But that doesn’t stop me from picking up cute tiny notebooks. Oh, and Target? Target has a way of letting me know of $100+ worth of stuff I never thought I needed every.time.I.go.there.
Katie says
Pilot me!! I’m a nurse and clicky pens in my pocket are my most used tool!
Ana says
PILOT ME! Wow – what a great giveaway! Sticky notes all the away – ON purses, computer screens, cork-boards, magnetic calendars, inside of folders – you name it! I can’t wait to say “good-bye” to them if I could find a better away… Fingers crossed!
Charlotte says
PILOT ME!
Even with the growing technology and still prefer to use the old fashioned way-pen and paper
Stacey L says
Pilot me! And I’m totally a digital note taker since getting my iPhone but I’m a teacher so at school I always have a good pen handy

PILOT ME! I have a pen on just about any surface, and in just about any :)

PILOT ME!
I am a notebook and colored pen girl. I am a huge list maker and apparently feel the need to have tons of different notebooks to choose from!
mattelyn says
PILOT ME!
I always make sure to carry a pin in my purse! Although I do rely on my phone to alert me when something is coming up, just in case I am not home to view my notes. :)
Jamie says
PILOT ME!
This is an awesome giveaway! I love making lists and crossing things off! Is it bad that sometimes I add things to my list that I already did just so I can cross them off?
Abby B says
PIlot me! I am very particular about which pen I will use for which situation. Pilot G-2 pens are some of my favorites, though.
Kristin H. says
Pilot me! I write everything down! Lists are so much easier handwritten. Then I’ll take a pic of it on my phone so I have it with me haha
Laura says
PILOT ME!!
I like me a good pen and fancy post-it notes
Sascha says
Pilot me! Clearly, all notes should be written with a Pilot G2 (1.0mm, naturally) or a just-sharpened Ticonderoga pencil. I’m not sure how else one would keep track of anything!
Misty says
Pilot me……..I love pencils and lists.
Sandra says
PILOT ME! I like to use pen to write in my planner.
Kristen McKulski says
PILOT ME!
I keep a secret stash of black ink fine point pens and use them for everything. My atrocious handwriting doesn’t look so bad in smooth, flowing ink.
Chasta says
PILOT ME! I keep post-it notes and pens everywhere so that I’m always ready to jot down a note.
Margy says
PILOT ME! G207 baby!
Michelle H. says
PILOT ME!
I love to doodle and scribble..not a fan of digital note taking. My pen of choice is the ultra fine Sharpie. LOVE those things, but if something better came along, I’d be willing to try it :).
Liz says
PILOT ME! I go back and forth between the Notes app on the iPhone and a notebook. The Notes app is always with me, but I think it’s much more satisfying to cross things off of a handwritten list.
Anne says
Pilot me!
I am a teacher and I am crazy about my pens. Nobody is allowed to use my pens because I don’t want the germs.
Kate Marshall says
PILOT ME!
I have many, many notebooks filled with notes and doodles in whatever pen is closest. Though I do miss my lovely fountain pen, which broke this past winter!
Brande Vaughn says
PILOT ME!
I use sticky notes, my planner, and the notes and Reminder aps on my phone! Love to check things off! :)

Pens are important! can’t always rely on your phone to keep track of things. My wife is on top of writing down messages and posting them through out the house until I remember. lol

Alie says
Pilot Me!
Oh No, it’s the pens. I work at Paper Source, so you’d think it’s about the paper, but it is all the pen. I’ve been a Levenger fan for years, and I LOVE the Pilot Disposable Fountain Pens.

Deborah says
Pilot me!
I am old fashioned and use pen and paper. I have a daily to-do list (of course, not everything gets done each day) I am telling myself this is the year that I will get organized!
