***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 love to make ink-and-paper to do lists, but I have to say I love having my grocery list on my phone! It’s so nice to be able to just add that thing I need right away instead of depending on my not-very-dependable memory…

PILOT ME!
Ok…I may or may not have a pen hoarding problem! I’m pen obsessed! It’s real bad. Don’t be surprised if your pen walks off bc I have totally taken a pen if I like the way it writes. I have to avoid the pen aisle because I’ll buy too many. I love lists too. Any kind of pen works for me as long as I think it makes my handwriting pretty! :)

“PILOT ME!” my favorite way to take a note is to drot it down on an old school spiral style notebook. It’s what I use at work to keep me sane and a mini size for personal in the car. Occasionally send myself an email from my phone if pen and paper not on hand!

PILOT ME! I’m totally old school. I rely on a nice little purse spiral notebook (with zippered clear pouch)and gel pen to record my daily To-Do list.
