***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 go back and forth every few months between all digital and my old, falling apart Levenger planner that I love. We’re on a budget and I can’t bring myself to splurge on a new notebook right now. This is the perfect giveaway!

jenny lynn says
PILOT ME! I’m definitely a pen and paper gal. I can’t seem to go digital with my planner or to do list. there’s something so gratifying about checking things off my list! i just bought a new pack of pilot pens and I’m loving them! (normally i’m a sharpie pen girl)

Lauren says
PILOT ME!
I am definitely a pen and paper person. So old school, in fact, that I still carry a paper calendar in my purse. I usually write notes to my self in the margin or on a post-it note stuck to the pages.
I just can’t think properly with a keyboard; I definitely need a pen! And not just any pen, but one that writes smooth like “buttah”.
ESBlondie says

Pilot is my favorite brand! I use them at home and at work.
Alix says
PILOT ME!
I’m addicted to post-its…it’s not pretty. (Actually it’s gorgeous; all those colors littered on my desk!) My boss even rewards me for a job well done with new packages of colored mini post-its. My workplace is feeding my addiction! :)

Paige @ Little Nostalgia says
PILOT ME!
I use a ballpoint pen in a notebook. I actually have multiple notebooks for various aspects of my life, now that I’m thinking about it. I can’t really get into the digital list thing. I need to write it down myself!
carla says
PILOT ME! I’m partial to pencils since I got used to using them in historical libraries where they don’t allow pens. I pick up cute/fun ones in the $1 bins at Michaels.
Debbie says

pilot me!
I love putting multiple digital post-its on my desktop!

PILOT ME! This giveaway was made for me – I am a sucker for good pens and spend way too much on them. I really hate the plain old Bic ball point pens.
Trilby says
PILOT ME!
I love writing lists in pen on post-its! The satisfaction of crossing something off of a list is on my top 10 most favorite feelings!
Fara A. says
PILOT ME!
I am also oddly obsessed with certain writing utensils, especially fine point marker pens. I love post-its & notepads so I can cross things off when they’re done. I’ve tried the whole iPhone organizing thing, but I get too much satisfaction from actual writing…
Amanda says
PILOT ME! I’m all about pen and paper – I love the thrill of physically crossing something off my To-Do list!
Lisa C. says
Pilot me!

PILOT ME!!! I have pens and notebooks galore! It’s kinda sad really lol. I always have a pen and a notebook in my purse and if I can’t get to that to take a note I will create a sticky note on my phone.
kelly d says
Pilot me! I keep a pen and a small (pocket-sized) notebook nearby all the time. You’ll also almost always find me with a small neatly-folded piece of paper with a few lists on it in my back pocket.
Allison says
Pilot me, please! :)
While at work, I usually jot most notes down on sticky notes. Not the most organized way, but a sticky note is usually the nearest thing ;)
Tamara says
PILOT ME!
I usually jot things down with a pen on the back of a junk mail envelope.
Julia says
“PILOT ME!”
I always carry a pen with me. Between grad school, work, and family, I am constantly remembering things to jot down. Yes, I could store things digitally, but I feel more accomplished being able to throw a list away when it is completed.
Jason says
PILOT ME! I use mechanical pencils to draw, mostly caricatures right now. I then scan it into photoshop and go from there. My blog is http://www.jasonhorningart.blogspot.com
Lindsay says
PILOT ME! Lately I’ve been keeping a digital list on my favorite app ever COZI but I do like to make a good old-fashioned list with a blue ink pen and paper. Only blue, I hate black pens!
Natasha says
PILOT ME! I prefer post-it notes for those random reminders and long skinny note pads for nice and long lists :)

PILOT ME!! I’m very particular about my writing tools as well. I use a certain pencil at work, but I love breaking out colorful pens for my home planner.
Rebecca W says
Pilot Me! I always carry a couple extra pens in my purse for someone in need!
