***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…

Vicki says
Pilot Me!
I still find it easier to just write things down rather than typing them out – on my phone at least.
Kyra P says
Pilot Me! I’m old fashioned & make written lists (always with pens!) for EVERYTHING! I’ve tried using electronic, but my heart belongs to paper & pens! I carry a pen & small notepad with my everywhere. I also use a paper planner & love finding the cutest one the beginning of the year!
Angie says
Pilot me.
I’m a pen thief, though mostly by accident. I forget to return pens that I’ve used to sign checks, receipts, etc. So… My favorite way to write a note is with a stolen pen.
Tina Martin says
PILOT ME, and yes, I always keep a pen (or 6) stashed in the bottom or my purse, in my pocket, in my grocery bags to jot notes or have impromptu games of pictionary or hangman with my lil’uns. Digital works, but I’d much rather have a pen and paper handy.
Jenni says
Pilot ME! I love a special notebook small enough to carry around!
Mila says
Pilot me!
I take notes and ideas down on tiny scraps of paper with my favorite purple pen (which is a Pilot)! Weird how I can always find that pen but never a sticky-note or real piece of paper…
emmy A says
PILOT ME! I’m a pen and paper girl. Digital is fine, but nothing beats a scrap of paper and good old pen.

Pilot me!
I use pencils as much as possible because I make so many mistakes :)

Pilot Me!
Pen and ink drawings are the name of the game for me!

sarah williams says
PILOT ME!
I use everything, all the time, as a nursing student I prefer black pens though!

“PILOT ME!”
I am still a pen and pencil girl.
Julie says
pilot me please!
I’m a notebook kind of girl, my current one is from makemynotebook.com and I LOVE it. I always use a black pen, unless the stinker has escaped from me somehow. But I take notes and make lists like it’s my job!
Becka says
Pilot Me! I always have an ink-full pilot G-2 on hand in my purse for all my doodle desires :)
Laura says
PILOT ME!!!
…I’m an old fashioned kind of girl – I keep pens and notebooks in my purse, the office, and every room of the house (including the bathroom!) to make lists, write stories, and document every thought that goes through my brain. It’s my opinion that my lists keep me sane, so who am I to argue?
Rachael says
Pilot me! As much as I love my iPhone, I still carry a planner with a simple black pen!
Becca T. says
PILOT ME!!!
I am a compulsive list-maker and note taker so it’s a combination of all 3!!

Jannice says
PILOT ME!!!
I have a fantastic fountain pen from my father-in-law that I love. And when I find a pencil I like, I buy it in bulk!
Brooke Y. says
Pilot me! I love to write everything down with pens. I am a major list maker even if all I have to write on is the back of a receipt crumpled up in my purse.
claire says
PILOT ME!
Lists, notes and new ideas are all about being spontaneous, and somehow pens and pencils just work better for me. The downside? I end up with about 20 pieces of paper by Friday, scattered between my purse, backpack and the coffee table! Tried the phone/iPad/computer method and it just hasn’t really stuck.
Sam says
Pilot me!
I always keep a binder clip full of index cards in my bag with a pen clipped on the top so that I don’t lose my note after I take it or if I have to write something else down on a new card.
Kathy says
PILOT ME! A great pen makes me want to write great things!
Krystal says
PILOT ME!!!
I love my pilot G2s! I write with them at work all the time, pretty much exclusively, in fact. Being a night shift labor and delivery RN, I do A LOT of writing! I also love sharpies for labeling things around the house!
Kelly says
Pilot me! I am infamous for my post-it to-do lists at work.
Noelle Frye says
PILOT ME!
My favorite way of taking notes/making lists is good old fashioned pen and paper (gotta love crossing those to-do items off one by one!).
Manette Gutterman says
PILOT ME!
I keep notes on my phone but use pen and paper for the majority of my organization. I also use a calendar hung on my refrigerator.
Erin McCann says
PILOT ME!
I always use pens.
Marilyn Salyer says
Pilot Me! I love ultra fine point pens and a notepad for all of my lists and notes. I love to cross off each task with the greatest satisfaction.
Heather Edwards says
Pilot Me! I reeeally hate using pencils. I am a crossword fanatic and only use pens, preferably blue ink. Pick me!
Lindsey says
PILOT ME! I’m a huge G-2 snob and hide my stash from my husband! I only take notes with them because I actually have better handwriting when I use them and they’re so dreamy to write with.
Kristin says
PILOT ME!
I love a good pen. As a nurse, I always have a pen in my pocket. Usually the good ones don’t last long because of sticky finger doctors, but with a supply of Pilot pens, I’d be set :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Amanda Huerta says
Pilot me please :) I love making digital shopping lists, but I do my daily lesson planning in pen. I’m a total pen lover. I figure it’s a fairly cheap obsession, but it can easily become obsessive.
Dionis says
PILOT ME!
I use a notebook & pen most of the time.
Allison M. says
PILOT ME! I actually have a planner that I take daily notes in, with a mechanical pencil or a pen if it’s close by. I like to jot interesting things I hear about each day, like new music or a book I should read.
Laura says
PILOT ME!
I can’t get on the digital train for taking notes. I’m all about a post it or scribbling on the back of whatever is around.
Mary says
Pilot Me! Although I always keep a black pen on hand, nothing beats taking notes in my college classes with colorful, scented markers!
Erin says
Pilot me! I’m a pen doodling kind of girl. On everything. Everywhere.
