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…

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 keep a notebook in my purse to make notes as I think of things during the day. And sometimes I email myself with notes during the day.

    I used to be a ballpoint girl, but now I love markers, whether they’re from Pilot or Sharpie or any supplier! I started scrapping years ago and bought a huge supply of Sharpie fine points that I’m still going through. Most defintely I’m a pen and notebook person, more than a smartphone notekeeper although I do pride myself on being a technogeek – I like to doodle though, so the paper and pen works best…

    Oh I wish I could get used to taking notes on my iPhone but I just can’t! I love a handwritten list too much! And I totally switch out my pens all the time. I might be on a ball point kick for a month then onto sharpie style pens :)

    Pilot Me! I have lists everywhere and I use whatever I happen to grab out of the pen holder. Definitely not picky

    PILOT ME! As a college student, I go through dozens of pilot G-2 pens a quarter. Despite the increasing trend of using laptops/tablets to take notes in class, I find that the good ‘ol notebook and pen provides the greatest flexibility.

    I use the Pilot Precise V7 to write notes on my hand and in my monthly desk calender. No digital notes for me. I remember things better if I write them done.

    PILOT ME! We have a never-ending need for great pens of all kinds at our house! I want to pass along my love of all graphic things to my talented daughter. Great writing tools make our lives so much richer. I have to spend too much time trying to get my creative 12-year-old to stop drawing pictures and making artwork so she can get her math homework done. It is so difficult to pry her away. Why oh why do they make these precious artistic brains worry over such serious math that they will never ever need?!! If you choose us, I could reward her with cool stuff from PILOT and help make some of her silly math pain disappear. Thank you!

    I love a fine tipped pen…but rarely have one when I need it. Right now the only pen in my purse is a tiny Yoda one that came in a cereal box.

    Pilot, Levenger and Target all in one…what a dream! I always have on hand a pen, paper and my iPod. Guilty of having a hand-written note stuck on on my iPod!

    Pilot me! I also love a good pen. But I usually just grab the free ones I have collected from hotels. But I would REALLY like to have some good pens (and some organization!)

    This post is very timely as I just purchased a cute, purse-sized agenda to organize my way into the new year! I realized pen + planner is the way to go for me, and it’s indescribably satisfying crossing things off my to-do list :)

    PILOT ME! I constantly write things on small notes to remind me. New year change- I started using an old-fashioned Franklin planner with day-day reminders right in front of my face! It’s big enough that there is no misplacing that thing:)

    I have started using pencils more often with a spiral notebook. When I make a mistake with a pen, it isn’t good enough to scribble it out – I have to tear the entire page out. Pencils are usually easier. That is, unless the mistake would take a lot of erasing – then I will still tear the page out and start over.

    Pilot me! Writing a list is what keeps me organized at work and reminds me what to buy when doing the grocery shopping. I love to switch up the colors I am using to keep things exciting.

    I am old school pen + paper. I love my smart phone (can’t wait for the BlackBerry 10 to come out), but there is something satisfying about writing things out and crossing off to-do’s…. selecting and deleting just doesn’t cut it.

    PILOT ME! I keep a notebook open on my desk at work all of the time, and also have a pad of paper in my kitchen at home. Old fashioned note taking for me!

    I love using a good ole pen and notepad. When I don’t have either, I resort to my “notes” on my iPhone.

    I always have a pilot G2 5mm gel pen in my pocket. They write perfect on paper, and even work well on wood for various carpentry projects.

    Pilot Me! I adore pens and never get tired of having a bunch of colored gel pens at hand. I’m a grown adult but I will still come into work and think, “is it a purple, teal, or red kind of day?” and pick my gel pen accordingly.

    I keep a lot of notes and have many little pads in purse/bag pockets for when I think of something. However, when it comes to being able to access it, it only works if I put it in my phone. That doesn’t mean I’ll stop writing it down. That is too much fun. Plus, when I’m with my nephews, having them draw on the little pads will keep them entertained through an entire dinner out. Works like gold.

    PILOT ME! I’m a huge fan of writing things down, I love me a Post It and pen. Lately I’ve been trying to break out of the Stone Age and use my phone for notes and reminders. I love lists and crossing things off of them!

    Pilot Me – I became addicted to the .05 black pilot pen and that’s all I write with. I can only find them at target and the coloured ones are a 0.7 – do they have the coloured ones in a finer point?

    I love me some pilots!

    I’ve downloaded many apps trying to find the perfect one for me to joy down notes, lists, reminders. I haven’t found any and I still stick with a black pen and a small journal in my purse!
