***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…

Anna A says
PILOT ME!…
I am a visual kind of gal. I love to make lists – and they have to be visually appealing. Straight lines, symmetrical, you name it. Problem is, my lists are just that – unrequited love lists pleasing to the eye. Unaccomplished piles of misspent time and effort. But they are rather lovely to behold nonetheless…

PILOT ME! I have terrible handwriting that somehow looks more elegant when I am using a nice pen… I keep it old school and only use pens for notes.

Kara says
PILOT ME!
At home, I’m a pen and paper girl…preferably felt tip or roller ball and a lovely moleskine notebook. For letters I use my fountain pen (from Levenger…seriously drool-worthy catalog), and when I’m out and about everything goes right into the droid. My girls are learning to use fountain pens with a gorgeous, multicolor set of Pilot Varsity starters. The happiness continues!

duplication, sorry…
Jenn Hannifan Diekmann says
PILOT ME!
As an on-the-go, full-time Mom and part-time professional, I’m all about a good, smooth-writing pen and notes. There’s just something about a hand written “to do” list—and a sense of power— in crossing things off my list as I knock them out!
Dani says
PILOT ME!
I love a good fine point pen. Gel pens are really nice, too, especially in bold colors.
jen says
PILOT ME!
More often than not my daily chores and to do lists are scribbled on a 3×5 card with a fine point black ink pen.
Cynthia R says
One in college, one more on the way in the Fall. Tight budget, this would so help get them started! Thank you!

Pilot me! I’m always struggling to find something to write on when I need it, so I always end up writing notes or numbers on old receipts in my car or around the house.
