***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 keep a pen and notepad in my purse at all times for when an idea strikes, or I have time to make a grocery list!
Kerry says
PILOT ME!
This is great! My husband ALWAYS carries a pen or two in his pocket and I usually have one in my purse – we’re no longer pencil people and occasionally use our technology to make notes but totally prefer pen & paper!
Rachel Z. says
PILOT ME! I love using my Evernote app on my phone for taking notes!
Pamela | Hands on Home Buyer says
PILOT ME!
I just love the feelings of a slender pen writing on a creamy white page. I try to force myself to keep notes on my laptop but I get more pleasure from filling page after page of my black and white composition books with my handwritten penmanship.
Jenny C, says
Pilot Me! Sometimes I keep up to 5 pens and/or in my purse. I hate to be without one when I go to the grocery store. Somethings I prefer to write in pencils, other in pens. I also teach and go through pens like crazy at school. I am always asking my kids where I sat my pen down.
Maya says
PILOT ME! I love online tools and things on my computer, but there’s nothing like a good old fashioned pen. I love black ink on a white page. And making to-do checklists. I think I’ve written more boxes (to later check off) than any word alone, haha!
Andria says
PILOT ME. I love pencils and paper. I try to go digital, but I always go back.
Trina says
PILOT ME!
I love all things writing implements! I keep fun pens and pencils on my desk at work (one pen has mini Lincoln Logs in a container at the top, another has a mini Etch-A-Sketch attached, one looks like a syringe, there are many more). I love to keep lists and love to cross off tasks as I complete them.
Meghan says
Pilot me! :)
chelsea says
PILOT ME! Colorful pens make me feel so much more creative, but I rarely have them on hand. These days its often broken crayons from the kids that I can find in my purse/diaper bag…

I love using a regular old pen and a Post It to take any notes. I use my iPhone (I just tell Siri what I want my note to say) sometimes too if I’m on the go!

I usually use a fine tip pen. But even if I go with a pencil, I don’t erase very much – just scribble it out and rewrite next to it.

Pilot Me! I’m a pen and sticky note kind of gal for quick notes but an
ipad notes for list making.

Pilot me!
Whenever I have to pack a suitcase, I make a list on an 8×10 dry-erase board. This has saved me from forgetting prescriptions and ipod chargers lots of times

Pilot me!
I use a ton of post its at work, but for the things I really need to remember, I use my phone to email myself. :)
Kimmie says
Pilot me! I love my pilot G2’s. I’m fussy about pens as well, but I always end up losing them!
Joy says
PILOT ME!
I keep organized the old fashioned way…a pen and notebook. I LOVE it this way. I jot down To Do lists in my notebook, shopping lists, thoughts, books to read, etc. It’s all in one handy-dandy place so if I’m looking for anything, I know to look in my notebook. Plus I love looking back at all the crossed-off items to feel the sense of accomplishment.
I like to write with just one kind of pen…a felt-tipeed blue one.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Kasia says
P-i-l-o-t M-e !!!
I’m a little-bit-of-everything-kind-of-a-gal.At times it is more convenient to use my phone.No need to dig through my purse or backpack to look for a piece of paper and something to write with.But at work or home, phone goes “bye-bye” and I look for my most favorite pen or pencil and I scribble away.
