***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 one of those strange birds (no pun intended) that still loves to write with a fountain pen. I love Levenger for my pen needs! Of course, its hard to carry a fountain pen in your purse………so I need to be PILOTED!
I am so excited about this give-away! Luck to us all. (Especially one of us). The ground is shaking…..I am jumping up and down!

I love all pens: cheap pens, expensive pens, doesn’t matter I will love them until they die. I usually keep at least one pen and one notebook in my purse at all times.

I use both paper and my phone for list. It just depends on where I’m at.
clodia says
Pilot me!
I love the feeling of a ballpoint pen on a pad of paper, which is what I keep at work for my note-taking use.
But if it’s personal, or I’m out and about, I just send an email to myself. I swear, my email is my second brain at this point.

PILOT ME!
I still keep a notebook with all of my lists in it. I don’t even own a smartphone, which for some reason drives everyone around me crazy.
Holly says
Pilot Me!
There is nothing I love more than “school supplies” even though I’m 27 years old and haven’t been in school for 5 years. I tend to reach for a pencil when needed, but there is nothing better than a good pen that you use until there is no ink left.
Leanne says
PILOT ME, PLEASE! I’m old fashioned…pen and paper for everything! Nothing better than looking back at my book of lists and seeing everything crossed off!

Pilot me! I love lists…whiteboard lists, paper lists, “stickies” on my Mac, planner lists. These days I’m partial to felt tip pens.
Beckie says
PILOT ME!!!
I am a software developer. My coworkers tease me because I take all my notes with a paper and pen. I hate taking notes on a computer or with my phone! I am so anti-technology when it comes to that :) Maybe I just need a break from it or maybe it’s because I really love the way a good pen looks on paper or maybe I am just a little old fashioned deep down!
Rebecca says
PILOT ME!
What an awesome giveaway! I keep an index card and pen in the smallest pocket in my purse to jot things down on. It sometimes makes for difficulty deciphering if I haven’t changed out the index card in a few days though…
Mel says
PILOT ME!
I am a perpetual list maker, no matter how much I love my technology/apps, a piece of paper with notes penned on it is forever in my purse or pocket. I always have a pen or two on me and haven’t touched a pencil since college math!

Pilot Me! Please! I love pilot pens for professional and personal use.

Pilot me!! I love pens… the colored ones. And making lists just gets me going :) Love you guys as always!!
Nicolette says
I’m a hardcore notebook user. Fan of the mechanical pencil usually, gives me the fine line with the power of erasing. However, a good number of pens do migrate their way into my purse. Hah
