***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 almost always use a fine point black pen–it has to be black ink and it has to be fine point. There are only two pens I really like and always have trouble finding them so when I do I stock up–those pesky pen fairies keep coming to my office and they fly off with them. I also will use only a #2 pencil with a very sharp tip. I keep the sharpener handy. It sounds a little crazy I know…
Cristi says
PILOT ME!
I’ve tried to be a digital note taking maven, but I’ve found that I will probably always have a pen & paper list in my purse or pocket. Nothing beats marking off each item on a grocery or to-do list by hand!

Sherri Sanchez says

Pens.
Amy says
Pilot me!
My husband insists on having Pilot G-2s in his pocket at all times…so much so that I feel like an expert at taking out ink stains. *sigh*

PILOT ME! I’m a scribbler…so it’s whatever comes to hand..I’ve been known to use lip pencil on the back of an envelope..see I really NEED this give-away!!!
Shelley says
“PILOT ME!”
When at work, it’s usually what ever is closest, but if I had to guess, I’d say it’s 80% pencil and 20% pen. That’s partly because the pens they order for the supply cabinet are terrible.
Sandy C. says
Pilot me!

PILOT ME! I’m an office supply/pen freak. My passion for supplies is probably equal to if not greater than Sherdog’s ceramic animal collecting. I’m a sucker for a great ballpoint pen and pretty notebook.

Pens and post-it notes if I’m home, but if I’m out, I send my husband a text to help us both remember. :)

I can’t write without my Pilot Precise V5 Extra Fines. Very particular! Santa brought me some in my stocking.
Elizabeth says
PILOT ME!
I tried to be tech-savvy, but love doodling too much to give up my pens and scrap paper… so now I write my notes and grocery and packing lists in pen and take a photo of it w/ my phone. At work, I am all about some post-its.
Bethany says

PILOT ME! Yum I love a good pen and Pilot makes one of my faves. I like pens at work and phone memos for personal!
Aubrey says
PILOT ME!
Ballpoint pens are my favorite and I definitely carry them around with me for writing down ideas that I think up, because you just never know when that brain will tick just a bit further and come up with something legen….wait for it…dary! :) My favorite way to scribble down a message is in my tiny moleskin that fits in my pocket. Some things I use pens for and somethings I use pencils for. If I know it’s something that might change I use a pencil but if my mind is set, pen it is! I am not 100% digital and actually much prefer pen to paper.
Thanks for this lovely giveaway opportunity!!

PILOT ME!
To keep me organized I rely on my iPhone which is connected to my calendar on my laptop so it all syncs (syncing=my life doesn’t fall apart). But I’m still old school at heart so I keep a little moleskin notebook and pen with me wherever I go.

I like the notepad app on my phone for long-term lists, but for quick notes, I’m all about post-its and black felt-tipped pens.
Lori H says
Pilot Me! I am a serious list freak. Unfortunately while I usually have a pen handy, I don’t always have the proper paper to jot notes on so I end up with loads of little scraps of paper which are easily lost! Please count me in on this great giveaway :)
