***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 love pens and making real, pen and paper lists. The iphone just isn’t the same.
Jennifer says
PILOT ME!!!
I must always have a supply of Pilot G.3 extra fine tip gel pens on hand – I take them everywhere and am very protective of them. Nothing pleases me more than when I actually use one up (am I the only crazy who thinks its cool that I actually didn’t lose my pen before it was finished?) But I have to write in my planner in pencil.
Heather B says
PILOT ME! I use me little lime-green notebook. Lol no joke. And although it looks sloppy at day’s end, I love beig able to physically scratch things off my to do list or breakaway from my computer/iPhone notepad.

kwithme says
PILOT ME!
My husband’s absolute favorite pen is the elusive Pilot G-2 .38mm. He was so excited to see this super fine point pen and bought everyone in the store. I like the G-2’s as well .38 or .5mm, I also love my Zebra F-402 for standard ballpoint needs (shiny surfaces anyone?)
Margaret W. says
PILOT ME! I am a list maker, and any scrap of paper will do. At the end of a week, my purse is full of bits of paper that tell the story of what was accomplished, purchased, and not done. I definitely need a better system!
Michelle Rosales says

I’ve tried being more technology friendly by jotting down to-do lists and notes on my phone, however, I always go back to the trusty pen and planner route. Call me old-fashioned!

Patti says
PILOT ME! For grad school, I was an old school pen and paper note taker, but I travel a lot for work so I always want to have relevant notes/info with me, so I take notes in word documents on my laptop as much as possible! However for my clients who are offended by laptops in meetings, a great pen and notebook is crucial too :)
