Fab Freebie: This Is Your Pilot Writing

***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.

Pilot Pen Giveaway

  • 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…

    I am also finicky about what I write with. I typically go towards the cheapo ball points or the Faber Castel india ink pens.

    PILOT ME! I’ve been trying to be better about consolidating all of my notes to my planner/phone instead of my usual process of writing a million things on a bunch of different Post-its!

    I love office supplies in general, and always try to get a new pen each time I visit a new country.

    PILOT ME! I am a pen and paper gal – and I happen to use Pilot G2 pens all the time. Blue fine point is my favorite. Just got an Iphone for Christmas and am trying to learn to use some of the apps on there to help keep me organizes.

    PILOT ME… I always have multiple pens within easy reach. (wish I could say the same for my reading glasses)

    PILOT ME! A general housekeeping goal of mine is to have a pad of sticky notes (either square or rectangular-shaped ruled ones) close at hand. With a pen. It’s the only way I can get anything done. My husband thinks I’m nuts, but I always say you can’t count on me and I do not hold myself responsible for remembering to do something unless someone writes it down, to be transferred later to a more proper list or agenda. Also, I am a HUGE Levenger fan! I first learned about them in about 2004 maybe…and have yet to order anything or visit a store! A store for readers…yes!

    I am a pen snob. I admit it. I stole a Papermate Inkjoy from a hotel, and it’s the best pen EVER. Now it’s missing, and I’m thinking of putting up wanted posters. I always have a few pens in my purse, and spend my days at work making notes (before they get entered into a computer).

    PILOT ME! I use a Pilot V5. I keep a red one and a black one with me at all times! When my boss signs things and tries to leave with my pen, I always catch him. Once I went back to a summer camp I volunteered at because the director had borrowed my red Pilot V5 to take a note. The next day when I realized I didn’t have it, I went back, tracked her down and asked for the pen. It was in her little organizer belt! I love, love, love this pen and use them till every drop of ink is gone. Sometimes when I need to write on plastic I have to use a sharpie, it makes me sad.

    I only like to write in pen… even for math! I hated math growing up and then in college I had a teacher who said “write with whatever you are comfortable with!” and I just took off in math-awesome-dome. I even took calculus for fun. No joke. Go pens!

    I always have a random assortment of pens and pencils in one specific section of my purse. I have to keep a lot of them because my husband steals them from me all the time! I also keep at least one pad of paper in my purse because I am a total listmaker.

    And my pen of choice is a Bic gel pen – in blue because it always seemed so much happier than black ink!

    I have to write down EVERYTHING or it goes right out of this baby brain! I didn’t think that this could begin this early but at 14 weeks, it has definitely shown itself to be true!

    You wanna talk redundant? I have a Buttoned Up agenda (highly recommend); a small, thick spiral bound notebook; a white Reminder list and a yellow Note list on my iPhone!
