Fab Freebie: This Is Your Pilot Writing

***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.

Pilot Pen Giveaway

  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Pilot.="nofollow">

    I continually switch from notebooks to digital notes via Evernote. I love the ability to search for a term within Evernote, but I also love hand-writing notes. Sometime it leads to disorganization, but for now I’m still doing both.

    PILOT ME…
    a variety, in general my preferred writing instrument is a purple gel or roller ball pen (i even recently hunted down my pen that my mom left at our hairdresser’s, what? it was new). i’m an accountant so there is definitely times that i’m a fan of a pencil, and sometimes i use my ipad or iphone to keep track of things. just depends on what it is.

    PILOT ME! I love the precise pens, use them all the time in my office. They are constantly disappearing from my desk. I love my iphone but nothing beats a good legal pad with a to-do list. Its so satisfying to cross off items that have been done.

    I never take notes digitally unless I’m creating a big organized excel document. If I’m on the go it’s an old-fashioned hard copy. Pen/pencil and paper (notebook or planner). I’m a list-maker and like to cross things off when complete.

    Pilot Me…I love a good pen, and pencil for that matter, too. I have numerous notebooks for keeping track of things. I especially like to keep a notebook by my side when I am reading so I can jot down key points. And yes, I do refer back to my nots periodically.
