***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 use both a ballpoint pen and my planner in my purse at all times, and make notes on my phone too. Can’t risk losing anything if it’s not in two places!

Pilot Me! I’m all about paper and marker for lists…such a nice feeling to get something done and cross it out with a marker. (Sometimes I do something not on my list, and then write it and cross it off just for the satisfaction. Ridiculous!)

I’m a fan of post-it note taking. Have to be able to see it after I write it down or I forget all about it- baby brain!
Aimee says
PILOT ME! I always have one of those magnetic list pads and a pen next to my computer for making shopping lists. I use the notepad on my phone sometimes but I still prefer paper and pen. To do lists, however, I always do on my computer. Sometimes with fun colors because it makes getting stuff done more fun.

Pen and notepad for me. I love the physical act of writing over the sort of distant feel of typing.
Kristin says
Pilot me!!
Nadia says
PILOT ME!
I’m a complete and utter graphomaniac.
I always lug around my planner (which I take a ridiculous amount of time to choose– You’d think it gets better every year. It doesn’t) and my favourite pens(which I can never shortlist to less than ten).
Be it lists, scribbles while I sip tea, or full journal pages, I love writing materials as much as normal girls love shoes. Yeah, I’m that girl!

PILOT ME!
I’m a pencil girl because i was left handed until i started school to become a teacher and hated getting dry erase marker on my hand, so I switched up the hand I used. But now I use all the time and am learning to love them

PILOT ME!!!
Avery says
PILOT ME!
I hate–*hate*–using pencils. Pens are the only way to go for me. As a journalist, that means I usually have a handful of pens with me in whatever bag I’m carrying (and of course only half of them ever work). The handful of pens must represent one pen for each notebook I use…I have a plethora of those, too!
Maria says
PILOT ME!
I prefer pen and paper. There’s just something so motivating about scratching something off a list with a pen. That’s my deep thought of that day – haha.

PILOT ME!
I’m all about the pen and post-it (sticky note) combo. I have post-its everywhere!
Sarah S. says
PILOT ME!
I love a handwritten list. It feels so good to scratch through them one by one! I’ve even added a completed project to my list, just so i can cross it off!
Kari E says
Pilot me! I carry a notebook and a wide variety of pens everywhere. Most often though, things get written on a post it and then lost. Organization of the little things is not my strong suit.
