Fab Freebie: This Is Your Pilot Writing

***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.

Pilot Pen Giveaway

  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Pilot.="nofollow">

    I use everything to take notes. Any paper available. Notebooks. Notebook app. But I love crossing things out of the my to do notebook.

    Not only am a pen and paper gal, but I’m particular! A yellow post it and a Pilot V-Ball 0.5 Pure Liquid Ink pen every time.

    I don’t know what I’d do without my Pilot G2 pro. It’s my favorite pen for everything from listmaking to journaling.

    PILOT ME! Please!

    I looove pens and paper! Especially post-it notes. Different sizes for different purposes, matched with different pen colors… that’s my jam!

    I use only colored pens! Very rarely do I use just black or blue! They are always around my lanyard ready at any moment, for a bathroom pass, or for grading all those papers!

    I keep most of my lists digitally these days, but I have a soft spot for red Pilot v7 pens. I use those for editing at work and I like to use them for other things as well.

    PILOT ME! Love my pens! And as for notes, I doodle on pretty much any blank paper in front of me especially if I’m on the phone. Random words from the conversation or little drawings. Sometimes I email me things to remember, but since I’m not on a smart phone yet, I’m still more of a paper & pen girl.

    Pilot Me! I work in healthcare and one of the (many) things I love about scrubs is that I can always have a clicky pen in my big ol’ pockets.

    I am a stationary HOUND! I buy a new notebook every year (for me, years start in September!) and an assortment of fun pens to perk up my days. These days, I am loving the Frixon pens (by pilot!) that can ERASE!! They have highlighters too!! :)

    I always have a notebook handy. When I get home, I update my excel calendar to make sure that I can know what is coming up in the coming days, weeks or months!

    PILOT ME! I love to write with a freshly sharpen pencil or with my ultimate favorite pen, which by the way they are soooo hard to find- they are the Pentel Rolling Writer Pens. No store in my area carries them! :(

    I always, always have to have a pen in my purse! I also jot down my to-do list on my Evernote app because it syncs with my computer and tablet :D

    I used to be a loyal pencil user but I’ve recently become obsessed with colored pens! They keep my notes in grad school a little more fun

    “PILOT ME!” I love Pilot’s Dr. Grip pens! I also love their highlighters. I like to take notes on pen and paper with a smooth pen. I always keep a pen in my purse!

    I’m paper and pen person, but I use every square inch of a piece of paper before I recycle it. It’s not uncommon to find my notes pages and think they’re some sort of encrypted message because the writing rotates and goes in every different direction.

    I’ve always been a write-things-down kind of girl. I find it hard to free think when sitting in front of my computer so I carry a notebook and pen in my purse at all times. That way I can ruminate whenever I want over any creative ideas I’ve got flowing. I keep a notebook next to my bed so I can put pen to paper when creativity sparks late at night. In the past I’ve even resorted to making notes on my hands. Not my favorite technique, but it’s sure effective since I can’t help but stare at it!

    I love a good ballpoint pen. I’m a poor teacher who uses the stock fare at school, but anything from Pilot would be oh-so-luxurious!
