***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…

DawnSC says
PILOT ME!
I’m a pen and notebook in bag kind of person. Or, even better, I cut up pages that have been written on one side into quarters and reuse the backs – it might not look as nice as prettily bound notebooks, but it makes my environmental side happy. :)
keryn says
Pilot me! When I was in elementary school and middle school, I would practice my handwriting until it was exactly what I wanted. I liked a good, smooth, flowing pen with no scratches! Now, as a crazy mom to five littles, I’m lucky to find a broken crayon to sign a kid’s reading calendar. Sigh. How the mighty have fallen.

Omigosh, I absolutely need lists/reminders/notes/calculations written with pen on paper/notebooks/back-of-an-envelope. Always. I usually have to write things out before I can translate them to a word document (I know, I’m insane).
Love y’all!

I hate pencils. Detest them, really. It’s all about the pen for me, although I don’t have a preferred brand, other than never Bic. Never, ever, Bic.

PILOT ME!! Pen and paper all the way! I’m way to slow at typing on my phone to bother taking notes on that and I’m too computer illiterate to do graphs or charts, if necessary.

PILOT ME!
Adam says
PILOT ME!
I’ve started using my phone to takes notes, then just email them to myself. But I’m always self-consious of the presenter thinking I’m texting and not paying attention.
Jenna says
Pilot me! I work in graphic design and am therefore always wooed by various printing companies to get my business. Free notepads and pens! I like making lists, so it’s pretty great for me. Seriously, does anyone want a notepad? Anyone?
Megan W. says
Pilot Me, PLEASE!
We are Pilot snobs in our house…only pens allowed in the door are: Pilot BP-S Fine and Pilot Precise V5 RT! Enuf said…Plus I am known as the “note taker”, I am lost with my mini notebook which I take everywhere and jot down everything…Plus I drive my family crazy with my stacks of notes around the house…now to organize them all he he.
I would love to “Pay If Forward” as well. Each year I run a program at school that replenish’s school supplies for the kids in the inner city. Would love to rain some of this generous offer from Pilot down on them.
