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).

  • 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.

    PILOT ME! I have a little moleskin book for my purse that I keep all sorts of things in, from paint colours, window measurements and email addresses. It has my wish list and my to do list. Would be lost without that little book

    Pilot me! I am a grad student so I use pencils all the time for underlining books, but a ballpoint pen is my preferred tool for writing.

    PILOT ME! I use a pencil and padfolio at school to keep track of my to dos for my classroom and clear on my iPhone for at home stuff. I love google calendars though, my husband and I share a calendar to keep track of work times, meetings, appointments and what’s for dinner.

    I am a pilot better retractable ballpoint pen kind of girl. There is something so nice about making a checklist on a fresh sheet of paper and then getting to cross things off. You just don’t get the same feeling when digitally ‘clicking’ things off your to do list.

    Pilot me! I mostly use the notepad app when I jot notes. But! When I was a waitress I loved the juicy inked pens! :)

    I keep notes just about everywhere – my phone, scraps of paper, notebooks. I do love a good old to do list written out so I can cross everything off.

    PILOT ME! I’ve always taken notes with a mechanical pencil. I love the feel of pencil on paper. I’m also a big fan of a smooth ball point pen for writing letters or notes.

    I have a black ballpoint pen and a softbound Moleskine notebook with me at *all* times. (I’m in ad school to be a copywriter! Yay!)

    Pilot Me! Simply put, I have never met a pen I didn’t love… And, I make a to-do list e.v.e.r.y single day, because I find fewer things satisfying than crossing things off my to do list. Actually, I don’t do well having things to do on my to-do list, so I keep pretty busy.

    My favorite way to scribble down a message or take notes is with a medium blue ballpoint pen. I have preferred to use this type of pen since I was in college a few years ago taking notes in my Anatomy class…something about seeing my notes written in that blue ink after class when I was studying that really made the information that I wrote on the paper stay in my brain for my tests.

    Pilot Me! I love to make lists so they can be found everywhere and I always, always, always make my lists with pen. :)

    I need to write my lists on paper since I love to cross things off when I finish them. Nothing like a completely finished to-do list to bring a smile to your face ;)

    PILOT ME! I love writing with pens (especially ones that are like thin markers), but also write notes/reminders digitally on my phone/laptop a lot.

    I love old school yellow #2 pencils. I never balance my checkbook (in my spiral notebook), or make lists any other way!

    Pilot me! I usually use pens and a pad of paper for notes, but the pens always find a way to mysteriously disappear! (I blame the Pen Gnome, second cousin to the Matching Sock Gnome and brother-in-law to the Car Keys Gnome.)Maybe if I have a whole buncha Pilot pens the Pen Gnome will be appeased for a little while! =D

    PILOT ME! As much as I love digital organization, here’s something about taking pen or pencil to paper that a keyboard or screen could never replicate.

    Pilot me!!! I keep a planner on hand that has a blank page for every week, which I take a TON of notes on. I also have a notebook on hand most days too, but those get unorganized quickly!

    PILOT ME! I have a small expandable pen (and notepad) in my pocket at all times, inside a David Allen notetaker wallet.

    Oh my gosh, I don’t think there’s ever been a more fitting Fab Freebie for me! I’m…just a little OCD with my writing utensils. Pens HAVE to be black or blue, and ink (not ball point). I’m a teacher, and grade in red. Pencils have to be mechanical. I cross off all my lists with Sharpie (something about that thick line slashing through a task just feels GOOD!)….so yeah. Slightly obsessive.

    I confess to one of those barely-organized people who often writes on herself with whatever pen is closest in an attempt to NOT forget something important :D
