***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…

Whatever pen and scrap of paper is closest is usually what I grab when I need to jot something down…I could use some help with organization…
Heather says
PILOT ME!

Cat Dobson says
Pilot Me!
I have a notepad + pens in our junk drawer (yikes… probably should get on cleaning that up this year so it doesn’t have to be labeled “junk”) but if I’m out and about and remember something I will jot it down on the notepad app on my iPhone!
DeNacho says
i think paying them forward to a needy school is even better!

PILOT ME!!!
Krystal Pound says
pilot me! Around here, we’re really big on writing notes/lists out on our giant white board and erasing them when we’re through.
Evelyn says
Pilot me! I always have a small journal in my purse to jot down notes, though I generally never have a pen – I am an expert at borrowing them from restaurants, work, and friends purses.
kristi says
PILOT ME!!!
don’t ever have a pen on your desk near me… because i’ll walk away with it. i’m not a clepto or anything – but i have this need to always have a pen in my hand! while i’m full of modern and hi-tech gadgets, i’m still old school and write things out. bring me those pens! ;-)
Melissa says
PILOT ME!
I love fine-tipped black pens, mechanical pencils and post-its. I end up with multiple to-do lists stuck everywhere with the same things listed because I keep misplacing them.
Erin says
PILOT ME! I must have an ink pen with me at all times for list making and to do lists. If I don’t write it down, I won’t remember. Period.
Lucyd says
PILOT ME!
I like pens. I’ll use the freebie ballpoints I get from work, but a nice felt-tipped pen is my favorite.
erin says
PILOT ME!
I’m a writer for a living!
Jessica says
Pilot Me! I love to write notes with a gel pen. Though I do write neater in pencil…maybe it’s bc I know I can mess up and fix it? I try to keep a pen in my purse but it always disappears due to desperation of a pen by my son who loves to draw dragons. I do love pencils for that very reason. I rely on all of the above to keep me organized…I need all the help I can get!
Melissa says
PILOT ME! I love a good sharpie marker. I am a serious doodler.
Tracey says
PILOT ME!! I write on and with whatever I have available. Even if it’s a napkin and crayon!
Somer says
Pilot Me! :)
I like a bright colored pen to take down notes on my To Do list (that ends up becoming a jumbled mess by the end of the week – like a multi-colored word search).
Emma says
PILOT ME! I’m so picky about my writing tools, too. You’re not the only “weird” one! When I’m sitting at my desk, I tend to jot down notes on post-its with my fave pens…but when I’m on the go, the Notes app on my iPhone is the way to go!

Sara H. says
PILOT ME! I use whatever pen and scrap paper I have lying around at the time!
Mery says
Pilot me!
I love Pilot G2s, but when it comes to reminders, I’m partial to the dry-erase-markers-on-my-mirror approach.
Karen J says
PILOT ME! … I keep a notepad by my computer in the kitchen and jot down shopping lists and notes. But I have a bad habit of leaving the notes lying around … some very important and some trash.
Megan says
Pilot me! I am a total list maker. Tried it on the tablet, went back to good old pens and paper.
Lauren says
Pilot me!
I’m pretty split 50/50 between pens and pencils, although while I have a stash of favorite pens I hoard, I swear sometimes I lose pencils halfway through writing things!
Sarah says
PILOT ME!
As an architect, I love a black pen and Pilot’s are my fav too! Especially the Precise rolling ball pens.
Lindsey says
PILOT ME!
I like to use pens of different colors to keep myself organized, but they all have to be the same type and brand of pen! There’s also something so satisfying about writing something down and then crossing it off! (Heck, I even write down things I’ve already done so I can cross it off!)
Eleanor@SavingOurWay says
PILOT ME!

oh my, PILOT ME!
This giveaway is completely up my alley! Try as I may, I really cannot get into the synced iphone-computer list. I love a paper calendar and a nice G-2 Pen. Oh, and don’t even get me started on grid moleskine (the big one!)
