***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!
I am SUPER picky about pens. I always have about 5 felt tip pens in various colors in my bag, on my desk, always with me!
Katherine says
pilot me! I usually use an ink pen but I also love my fine tip sharpie pens. I’ve been known to scribble a note in marker or crayon in a pinch– I have a houseful of little budding artists, so those are almost always handy!
Alex @ life.law.luck says
PILOT ME! I roll old school and try to always have a ballpoint pen on me – the inkier (is that a word?!) the better – and my paper planner!
Becky says
Pilot me!!!
I am a huge pen snob and LOVE the ol’ pen and paper for lists and notes. I’ve even been known to write an already completed item on my to-do list just to cross it off!
Crystal says
Pilot Me…I love office supplies! Love cute paper and pens, have them everywhere.
MarytheKay says
Pilot Me!!! The Pilot Gel is my favorite pen to write with. I do e-mail myself lots of messages on my phone when I’m out running around. Otherwise, I do love my Pilot gel ballpoint pen to jot a quick note–in my small notebook in my purse.
Lindsey says
Pilot me.
Omg. I think I get more excited about office supplies than just about anything else.
marilyn conde says
PILOT ME!
I love pens! I scribble on paper all the time. I usually write my notes and lists on the back of junk mail envelopes. I love cute notebooks, but sometimes I’m just not that organized.
debi says
“PILOT ME!”
I’m a waitress so I always have pens in my purse, car, pocket, etc.
My favorite kind are the ones without caps that “click” because I lose the caps!!
Ashley says
Pilot Me!
I’ve never been a fan of how a pencil feels on paper. I love a good pen but I also do a lot digitally.
Carrie says
PILOT ME! I have a small addiction to post-it notes. My desk, notebook, and purse are filled with post-it ‘to dos’ and reminders.
Elizabeth S says
Pilot me! Please :) notes are best taken with pen, but I’m becoming an app convert! :)
Nicole says
Pilot me! I love pens – I can never even find a pencil when I do need it because I use them so infrequently!

PILOT ME! Three of my favorite things: good pens, levenger notebooks and a Target gift card!

PILOT ME!
I’m a mechanical pencil person.

Pen in small notebooks. Many small notebooks. Gives me the illusion of organization :).

Christine says
Pilot Me!
Markers are my favorite to write with!
Elizabeth says
Pilot me! I keep my favorite pens in the car, in my purse, in my office – I can’t stand to use a regular ballpoint for my compulsive note-taking.
Jessica says
PILOT ME! I have my favorite blue ink pens that are not so easy to find anymore, so my super-fab husband gets me a whole box of them for Christmas every couple of years so I don’t have to run out. I am also a pretty big fan of sharpies. I keep a couple of each in my purse to use at work and whenever the need comes up.
Lisa says
PILOT ME! I love the convenience of entering a quick reminder/to-do list into my iPhone. :)
Lesley says
Pilot Me! I love writing utensils. I used to always write notes on small notepads and rip them off and then find them all over the house. Now I try to have one notebook to round up all my notes. problem is now I have a notebook in each room.
Kristen says
Pilot me! I love pencils!
Emily says
PILOT ME!
I always keep pen and paper in my purse!
Sara P. says
PILOT ME!
The Mr. and I are both teachers and often, lovingly, “steal” each other’s pens! This happens so often that I try to find my pilots in girly colors just to cut down on the thievery! When you work with students a fair share of writing utensils tend to disappear each year. Pilots are our favorite! EEE! FINGERS CROSSED!
Mikayla says
PILOT ME!!
Amber says
PILOT ME!
Sometimes I’m a lush and would kill for some gel pens kinda girl and then there’s the gotta have me some smooth writin’ goof proof mechanical pencils kinda gal, ha!
Leslie says
Pilot me!
As a teacher, I find particular joy in a smooth pen like the pilot. My favorite color is purple ink. :)
Rebekah says
Pilot me! I love colored pens!
Amy says
PILOT ME!!
I would choose a pen over a pencil every time but lately I’ve been keeping my lists on my iPhone.
Shelise says
Pilot Me! I always keep an index card and a pen in my back pocket to write little notes on. If I don’t I forget EVERYTHING! I’ve tried tons of different approaches and this one definitely works the best for me.
Janet says
PILOT ME! I am 100% a pen person and I always prefer to hand write notes, lists, memos, and I journal almost daily in order to stay sane lol. This looks like a great giveaway! I have been reading your blog for years now and have only entered a few contests, but this one I would definitely use!
Layla weaver says
Pilot me!!!
Please!
I love pens!!! I love list making so I always have a pen if not in my pocket than in my purse.

PILOT ME!
I need color in my life! I have pens of all sorts and colors in order to organize my life. Usually a ballpoint! Right now, purple is in my purse and teal is my choice at work :)
Lindsy says
Pilot me! Half the time I use my Moleskine and a pen, and for the other half I rely on my iPhone.
Julie says
PILOT ME!!!!!I carry a notebook and pen everywhere!!!
Kari says
Pilot me! Gah! I’m such a pen and paper nerd, and I’m not even joking. Pilot G2shave been a staple for me since high school, and now I’m a (poor) med student, so I fill reams of paper and would love some new writing utensils to liven up my 100s of hours of studying.
linda nguyen says
Pilot me!
I use both technology for jotting down long term ideas and also a pen and paper for the short term items! I LOVE pilot! I have their colored frixion gel pens which I use for work every day!
Emily Johns says
PILOT ME!
I always have a pen in my left pocket, and my hand is usually clicking it (to everyone else in the meeting’s irritation) :-)
shari says
Pilot Me! Pilot Gel always handy… and I’m not just saying that…
Haley says
Pilot me! I’m a messy note taker. I typically scrawl on scraps of paper I find in my purse – old receipts, envelopes, old Pottery Barn fliers. I do usually have 5 or 6 pens in my purse, though – I love pens. Digital just doesn’t work for me.
mike says
pilot me! i rely on evernote to take my notes. not very beautiful, but functional!
Amy says
Pilot me! Roller ball is my favorite, but I hate how they don’t write on the shiny business cards.
