***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…

I love any fun colored pens, they make taking notes and lists at work seem fun in pink, purples, oranges etc! Feels like I am breaking the rules somehow!
Katie G says
PILOT ME!
I’ll take notes on a small pad of paper with any radom pen I happen to find in my purse, then, because I’m prone to losing things (like pens!) I’ll throw the note somewhere digital too, usually my iphone, or work calendar :)
Melanie says

Erica says
PILOT ME! My absolute favorite way to write anything is with a Pilot G-2 038. It’s incredible. Back when I was working as a nurse, doctors were constantly trying to steal my pen. I had to watch that sucker like a hawk!

Fine ball point all the way!

PILOT ME! I used to be a strictly pencil and note pad kind of girl, but I have to admit that, since getting smart phones, I’ve enjoyed relying on apps to keep my life (well, my to-do list at least) organized!

PILOT ME! I love writing on banana peels.
Jaileigh says
PILOT ME!!!
For some bizarre reason, my best ideas occur when I am in the shower, and I can never remember them long enough to write them down when I get out. So now I keep a supply of bath crayons in the shower and I write these ideas down on the wall as they come to me. Sometimes half the fun is trying to figure out what the heck I was thinking when I was half asleep and scrawling notes to myself.
KellyMcG says
PILOT ME!
I loooooove making lists! I’ve trying using apps on my phone, but a good old fashion pen and paper is the best for me:)
Addy says
PILOT ME!
I keep a nice planner from Target as well as *almost* always exclusively write with Pilot FINE point pens. Dream made John & Sherry!
Gabrielle says
Pilot me! I like to write things down in a notebook and keep a running to-do list at all times. As I do things, they get crossed off. At least once each week, I turn the page and re-write all the to-dos left over and then begin to add new ones.
Suzanne says
PILOT ME!
I used only notebooks and pencils throughout grad school. At work I use ink. For everyday lists (eg. grocery, to-do), I use a small spiral-bound notebook. Each list gets its own page and I tear the pages out when I complete all the items on a list.
becca says
pilot me.
if you’re not willing to commit to write it in ink, its not worth being written!
Carter says
PILOT ME!
I am a mix of notes – a running to do list on my computer, lots of using my outlook calendar for work, handwritten reminders on post-it notes. I definitely prefer pen over pencil.
Kaitlin Jenkins says
Pilot me! I love having a rainbow of sharpies!!
Julie says
Pilot Me! I use whatever is closest! Pencil, pen, crayon, eyeliner…

PILOT ME…I am a list maker and it just always feels better when the list is written in pretty pens on nice paper :)
Andrea A says
PILOT ME!
My favorite way to take notes is on the computer (Word doc) if that’s where I’m at — otherwise a pen & paper or my cell phone ‘notes’ if its something quick that I might need when I’m out and about.
Natalie says
Pilot me!
I love taking notes! Actually, I have to because I’ve had two kids and have complete MOM BRAIN! So notes are my lifesavers. I only use pens and they have to be either .7mm or .5mm (preferably .5)
Chrissy says
Pilot me! I have mini notebooks that I take everywhere. I use pens from my old job, pilot pens!
N Shirley says
PILOT ME! I always keep a pan and a highlighter and a white board marker in my purse “just in case”. I sure could use the prize this week- thanks for posting!
