***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 inky Pilot pens! They make all my list-writing on post-its much more fun.
Natalie says
PILOT ME!
I always try to keep a pen, because in the words of the wise Anne Lamott- “If I don’t carry a pen around, God will surely say ‘Oh, I’ll give this great idea to that cute Anne Lamott, she has a pen.'” Or something like that. ;)
Michelle says
pilot me!
I write reminders down with pens and post-its!
Christine says
PILOT ME!
I like plain old pen and paper at home. At work it’s a mechanical pencil.
Caitlin says
Pilot me!
My favorite way to write my constant lists is the pilot g 2,for reals, not just saying that since it’s a pilot promo. It is perfectly smooth and juicy but dries quick enough for no smudges. My favorite pen!
Terri says
PILOT ME!!! Oh how I love a good pen, tablet and binders, I love binders, and those wonderful page proctectors. Oh, I have a sickness!
Sarah W. says

shelley says
PILOT ME! I keep pens everywhere!

Pilot me!
My favorite way to take notes is a pad of paper or post its! It is so satisfying when I get to cross something off one of my many to do lists!
TammyLee says
“PILOT ME!” chalkboard notes are nice :) but grocery lists are done in pencil, to do lists are done in sharpie (no cheating and erasing things that the hubs doesn’t want to do haha!)
Elyssa says
PILOT ME!! I have many copies of the exact same pen scattered in my bags and around my place…and inevitably I think I’m out of them and buy even more!

Lisa O says
Pilot Me!
I tend to use gel ink pens and a legal pad at work for note taking, but making to do lists and grocery lists I prefer pencils and colored pencils to organize myself :)
Raquel says
PILOT ME! I’m having some identity crises. I am a paper and pen note-taker, but recently everything has gone digital and I carry this stuff around, but it is causing me stress to make this transition to digital. I prefer paper/pen, but am feeling very confused now!
Stefani says
PILOT ME! I’m a combo of sticky notes and iphone memos. Depends if I’m at work or on the go.
Erin G. says
PILOT ME!
At work I only use pencils, because people are always changing their minds so I’d rather just erase then see a lot of strikethroughs. But the rest of the time it’s ink pen, red!!
Holly c says
Pilot Me!
I prefer pens for most things but I am not above pencils. I generally keeps pens in my purse and on some occasions they have been found in my hair. Ya I’m that girl! But it works out pretty nice for me! I do make my grocery lists on my phone but I tend to take handwritten notes.

PILOT ME!
I keep a couple of really nice pens in my purse that were given to us when we closed on our house. I’m old school and like pen and paper.
Kelli says
PILOT ME!! I love putting it down in pen!
Jessica says
PILOT ME!
I’m really messy when I take notes. In an effort to use as much of the paper as possible, I usually only write on half a sheet of paper…and then I start filling in the other half with things I missed the first time around, and then the margins, etc. I don’t think it would be very easy for others to decipher my crazy way of taking notes.
When I was younger, I loved pencils and refused to use pens — I think it goes back to only being allowed to use #2 pencils on all of those tests. But now I love a good pen!
Barbara says
“pilot me”

I use digital lists sometimes but I prefer pen and paper anyday! As a nurse who still paper charts, I’m always on the search for excellent pens.
Jen T. says
PILOT ME!
This may sound weird, but I could have easily seen myself buying up $500 worth of the Pilot Gel Pens. They literally got me through law school. My absolute favorites <3
April says

I hand write everything in my snazzy new planner. :)
Melissa O says
PILOT ME!!!
Pens..Pens everywhere.
elizabeth says
PILOT ME! I love black ink for taking notes. Other colors just seem too mdidle-school-y to me!
KK says
PILOT ME! – Sadly, I’m much more digital, because I tend to lose that slip of paper somewhere along the way. But with incentive I might just try it old school.
kara says
PILOT ME!
Pencils, pens, markers…love them all!
Jen says
PILOT ME!
I am a huge list maker. There are lists in every purse and every little notebook and scrap of paper I have. My notes and lists are always in pen (I don’t like when the pencil smears).
Sheila says
PILOT ME! I’m a secretary (ahem, executive assistant!) who still uses shorthand every single day and I always have a pen in my hand — and a notebook not far away! I’m afraid I’ll never be 100% digital!
