***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 prefer pen and post-it’s for work, but for home, it’s the dry erase marker and board on the fridge.

Lana says
PILOT ME!
I love technology, but I still need a pen or pencil and paper for to-do lists!
Christina says
Pilot Me!
Both my husband and I absolutely love pens and paper products. We use apps that sync with our phone and computers to keep us organized, but we also jot down notes on paper coordinate our work and home schedules with a variety of paper calendars too. I also carry an assortment of pens, pencils, and highlighters in my purse too – there have been lots of times when I or someone else has needed to use them!
jaye says
PILOT ME!
I have an obsession with business logo pens. Conferences are my kryptonite, with all those booths with logo pens. For some reason my brain tells me they are superior than any other pen.
Joanna Banana says
Pilot me! Combo of iPhone notes and pen and paper for me! One notable thing I do though is write in a hybrid print/cursive and my students always point it out!

Lindsey says
Pilot Me!!! I almost always have a pilot gel pen with me at all times…I love that pen. And it’s mostly pen and paper for me…there’s just something satisfying about writing out a list and crossing things off.
Jennifer says
PILOT ME!
I use a pencil for my planner (couldn’t find one online that I liked so I made a two-week calendar for my fridge: http://functionandbeauty.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/if-you-want-something-done/ ) and for all my lists I use pen and paper.
Mandy says
PILOT ME!
The Pilot Precise V pen has been my pen of choice since I was a sophomore in high school. I am seriously obsessed with them.
Lauren says
PILOT ME! Clicky pens are my preference, and I love Pilots!
Angela H says
Pilot Me! I love to write my grocery lists in blue ball point ink; none of those liquidy flow types though, or the ink somehow ends up on my hands and not the paper. Thanks!
MichelleO says
PILOT ME! I love hotel pens. You know, the free ones you get. For some reason they have the right feel and weight. I have tried buying a pen that feels the same, but alas I am still drawn to the free hotel ones!
Amy Walker says
PILOT ME! Sticky notes and pen all the way!
Jenny says
Pilot me! I keep a notebook & pen in my purse, but I also like to email myself reminders
Kirsten says
Pilot me!
I have two serious problems with pens. 1. They are always walking out on me. Where do they go? No clue. My pen cup currently holds two broken pencils, a black permanent marker and a highlighter. No joke. 2. Despite their disappearing act, I always have a current favorite and only want to use that pen. Last week, it was some pen I picked up at a lawyer’s office. This week, it is a fine tip red Pilot EasyTouch. So, really, this is quite perfect for me because it would solve both problems: Lots of new Pilot pens for me! then I’ve never again have to resort to using a highlighter to make a grocery list. It’s bad.
Amy R says

Serena says
PILOT ME!
I use the special pen my stepdad turned for me out of wood and a pen kit. Functional and pretty.
Teri says
Pilot me! I use my iPhone notepad for a lot of things – I’m a huge list person! But I also love flow-y pens. I have lists on scrap paper and in notebooks all over the place. Such satisfaction in crossing something off a list. :)
Oriah says
Pilot me! I like “click” pens with finger grips for personal notes and mechanical pencils at work.
Maggie says

PILOT ME!
I love pens! As a teacher, I have to write constantly and a great pen is amazing. Most of the time, I shove them into my pockets while teaching, so another teacher or student will not have the opportunity to take it!

At home it’s usually pen and paper for notes. I always have a pen in my purse but never paper so the notes go on my phone.
Amy says
PILOT ME! I’m a total pencil gal (always kept one behind my ear in HS and college). But since my little toddler seems to run off with all my writing utensils nowadays, I end up using whatever I can find. Sometimes the grocery list is in crayon…(sad).

Nancy says
PILOT ME?!
I am a super organized 17 year old that is blessed enough to be filling out all sort of applications for colleges and scholarships. Just pretty much trying to figure our how to stay organized right? Well I absolutely love using felt tip pens but anything that is smooth keeps me writing in my planner/to do list. Electronics just do not cut it for me. I guess I am an old fashioned pen and paper type of gal!
Kait says
Pilot me!
I go through so many post it’s a week.
