***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… Oh I love getting organized… Pilot will help me do that!
sarajane says
PILOT ME! I can’t seem to give up good old pen and paper. I tend to write most notes to myself on index cards and usually have a stack of them with me. I LOOOVE to drool over the Levenger catalog!
Jayashree says
PILOT ME !
Jen says
Pilot me! Can’t live without lists–I must be able to physically cross things off of it!
Skyanna P. says
PILOT ME!
Angela K says
PILOT ME! I think a good smooth writing pen is my favorite, but mechanical pencils come in at a close second!
Erin says
Pilot Me!
I like writing my notes in any ink that isn’t blue, black, or red! If I’m writing in pencil (which I love), I prefer green lead too!
Kendra L. says
PILOT ME!!! ****
Allie says
Pilot me!
As a leftie who drags my hand through anything I write, I am a ballpoint pen kind of girl. And I am a stubborn hand writer…no digital note taking for me! I learn by writing, not by hearing or reading, so I write A LOT.
Nali P. says
PILOT ME! I prefer a paper and pen for listing making, only because I love crossing things off.
Michellei says
Pilot me! I usually use my iPhone since it’s so convenient on the go.
Meghan says
PILOT ME!
I love inky, blue pens. I will hoard them at work, too.
Missy in NoVa says
Pilot me! I love fun colored pens (must be rollerball, fine or extra fine, preferably pink or orange…) for notetaking. Not that I’m picky or anything :)
Brandy says
Pilot me!
I’m a blue pen and post-it kind of girl. You’ll always find both in my purse and most rooms of the house.
Rebecca says
PILOT ME! I am a constant listmaker so I always have a notepad/notebook and a pen handy!
Sira says
PILOT ME! I am obsessed with the Pilot G-2. I used them for my whole Ph.D and I still use them for all of my writing and note taking.
VAinNC says
Pilot me! All through high school, college, and grad school Jelly Roll pens were the jam. Now I use whatever I find at conferences or in the office supply closet. Depends on my mood and what I’m writing, but I like using gel ink pens and old-fashioned pencils w/ a big ol’ eraser top.
Jessica says
Pilot Me!
I like the extremes: a fine point pen, or a big, fat, colored permanent marker.
Meg F. says
Pilot me!
I LOVE me some amazing pens! It was always my favorite thing to pick out when going back to school as a kid.
Jess says
PILOT ME!
I’m a sucker for a rainbow of felt tip or gel ink pens and a moleskine notebook that I carry with me everywhere in my purse. I’m a list girl, so things like lists and calendar appointments go on google or an app, but for creative ideas and things to ponder, it’s all pen and paper, baby!
kim says
Pilot me!
Just started scrapbooking so these would come in handy!
kim says
Oops. This is a duplicate. Didn’t think the first one posted.
Keri says
PILOT ME!!
I am a pen and paper person…..most of the time! If I have a lot of note-taking to do, though, I bring along the iPad and stylus or the laptop….
JT says
Pilot me. I love extra fine point pens, but my big issue is with notebooks. I nee to use them but always end up writing Moresque lists on old envelopes and other scraps. Can’t wait to get more organized!
Christy says
PILOT ME! I love a good, liquid ink blue pen.
Casey Stang says
PILOT ME! I’m left handed so I’m SUPER particular about ink that doesn’t smudge!
Kim says
Pilot Me!
I keep pens everywhere because I’m always scribbling down reminders.
shelley johannes says
PILOT ME!
I jot down most notes on my phone. But I’m a die-hard felt tip writing utensil girl, who isn’t above writing on just about anything. I’ve definitely done my share of napkin sketches.
Traci says
PILOT ME!
I love all office supplies, but there is nothing better than the perfect pen. My current favorite is the Sharpie pen.
Silvia says
PILOT ME!
i always carry a pen/notepad in my purse, but also make lists on my phone in case i forget to write anything down that i didn’t get to immediatelly
Caitlin says
Pilot me!
I always use pens with my favorite being that ever smooth G-2!
Christy says
Pilot me!!!
I love ultra thin sharpies…. In all different colors. Pick me!
BrookeJ says
PILOT ME!
I am a post-it note freak! They’re all over everything and I think my brain would explode if I couldn’t write everything down on a post-it!
Beth says
Pilot Me!
Nothing like a new pen and notebook- my kids would major in doodling in college if they could.
Jessica says
PILOT ME!
I am a constant note taker – paper and pen only, no high-tech business for me. Could use some help on the organization front though, my purse tends to be a bag of paper scraps with important info floating around!
Molly says
Pilot me!
I stick with pens and paper… electronic note keeping and calendars just don’t seem to work for me.
Amy says
Pilot me! Still write down my lists on paper with a good ol’ ball point pen. I love being able to cross things off when they’re done!
Cristina says
PILOT ME!! I try to be technologically savvy by using my phone but I always return to hand written to-do’s and grocery lists :)
Kate says
PILOT ME!!
I am a scientist and we are required by law to write down everything with pens, preferably ones that are water-resistant.
Stefani says
PILOT ME! I’m completely old-fashioned and use a pen and paper for just about everything!
Jen M says
PILOT ME!
I am always making lists! This year my SIL gave me a custom planner designed by Erin Condren, and it is amazing!! Wow! :)
Ann says
Pilot Me! Love blue ink pens and post-it notes, they are all over my office
Kelly says
PILOT ME! I usually take notes on a scrap piece of paper, then lose the paper. Yes, I’m organized like that.
Elise @ Expeditions of Elise says
Pilot me!
Been a fan of Pilot G2’s since high school. I love the 05 black pens. The perfect thickness to scribble in my planner!
Lauren says
pilot me!
i love pilot pens, they were all i used to buy, now i tend to use whatever is lying around the house
Whitney J says
pilot me! i’m a pen girl
RebeccaH says
PILOT ME!
I use a pen (preferably with blue ink) and whatever is closest… sometimes it’s plain paper, sometimes it’s junkmail, and of course, sometimes it’s all over my hands. :)
Anne Meyer says
PILOT ME!
I am going to graduate school next year and could totally use a prize like this!
Melissa Shipman says
Pilot me! I use pens for my daily to-do list, usually Papermate, but I also happen to like Pilot! And digital lists on my phone for on-going things (like the list of gift ideas for Hubs!)
