***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…

I love Pilot’s super fine pens! I’m in grad school and still take notes with pens :)
qs777 says
PILOT ME!
I never have a pen with me, but I can usually scrounge up a crayon from the backseat of the car.
Megan says
PILOT ME!
I take old school notes on pen and paper.
paula says
PILOT ME!
We have a box of pens on our coffee table because my fiance are fancy list makers and one of us always have at least 2 pens on our persons at all times. We are strange folk.
Hannah says
PILOT ME! I have a blue felt tip pen I always keep handy!
Ally says
PILOT ME!
I’m all about Pilot pens at work. I’ve gotta have my blue and black fine point gel ink pens at all times. When it comes to taking notes it’s gotta be pen and paper for me. I love my computer and my iPad but there’s just something about forming the words with ink on the page. Great giveaway. Thanks!
Sarah says
Pilot me!
My husband and I are pretty much pilot-only people for all of our writing needs. :)
Bonnie Morscher says
PILOT ME! I just love those Pilot easy-writing gel pens. I actually HATE writing with a ballpoint pen — gotta have a gel pen.
lauren w says
PILOT ME!
I keep a small notebook and a ballpoint pen (preferably in blue) with me almost all the time. If I’m without it, I make a quick note in my phone and add it in later.
Claire says
PILOT ME!
I’m a “grab whatever is handy” kind of girl for notes. Although when I’m at work during the summer (I work at a summer camp, summer is the only time I’m in a “real” office instead of home) I rely on post-it notes. We are always writing each other notes on post-it’s.
Ashley says
PILOT ME! I use a combination of a blue pen (yes, it must be blue) and the iPhone. The iPhone is great for storing my window and kitchen dimensions during my on-going house project.
Rachel says
Pilot me!!
I usually use my phone for my to-do lists but always need a good pen for my journal or studies. And that Target gift card would be such a blessing!
Jeana R says
Pilot me!
I keep post-its everywhere! On my desk, in a kitchen drawer, the car, and my purse!

Adam says
Pilot me!
Rebecca says
“PILOT ME!”
I like a felt tip pen and a legal notepad for work. When I am on the go with errands I use my iPhone Notes.
krystle says
pilot me! pen and paper…mostly because of the satisfaction of crossing something off of the to-do list!
kylee says
Pilot me! I have to have a can of pens/pencils/markers on my desk…I make lists constantly and like the old fashioned paper way.
Miriam says
Pilot me!
I received a Waterman as a gift from an old boss, and really like the heft of a heavy pen. For serious note taking though, a nice gel based ink one in blue is fun. I’m an inveterate annotator of books (in pencil), and believe every year that if I could just find the right organization system I might actually stop procrastinating.
Chelsea says
PILOT ME!
I love pen and a steno notebook.
Erica Louise says

I always have a variety of blue and black pens in any of my bags, but I can never seem to find paper when I need it so I use the backs of whatever I can find. I’m half-way there!
Leslie says
PILOT ME!!!! I Love Love pens and new notebooks!!
Courtney says
PILOT ME!
My favorite pen and my planner go almost everywhere with me…sometimes I bring post-its along too. If it’s color-coded it’s EVEN better.
Hilde says
Pilot me!
I always making notes on post-it and adhering them to my desk. Preferably with a blue Pilot G2 pen. Gotta be blue…
Meghan Gassner says
PILOT ME!
I always have an assortment of pens around… I need a better organizer than just the bottom of the purse! My favorite part of a to do list: writing things down that I’ve already done just to cross them off the list!
Tricia L. says
PILOT ME! I prefer a ball point and notebook, but do a lot of digital as well. It’s the age we live in.
Sarah says
PILOT ME! I love a pen that is smooth and doesn’t smear. Give me some good post its and I am happy!
Kelsey says
Pilot me!
I’m definately a pen and paper gal. I don’t like the mess of pencil eraser shavings. And if I goof on a note I’m writing, I toss the paper and start over. Right now, I’m obsessed with a freebie pen I got from a dance shop. It is always in my purse!
Laurie says
Pilot me! I like to use colour to visually organize my notes so I have a large collection of sharpies.
Amanda says
Pilot me!
I always carry a blue pen with me.
Nikki says
PILOT ME! I am a pen and paper person – with scraps of paper scrawled with to-do lists all around the house. I have been trying to switch to online calendars and task lists, but sometimes you just need to actively write it down!

Deborah says
Pilot Me!
I get made fun of because I always have a pen and note card handy. You never know when you need to make a note, right?
Liz says
Pilot me! I am a complete mess when it comes to actually having a pen on hand, and I cannot afford to keep destroying lip liners by using them in a pinch
