***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…

Millie says
PILOT ME!!
I’m a pen and highlighter junkie. I have lists scattered all over the place and my office is COVERED in Post-Its. I have an app on my phone, but I find handwritten lists are so much more accessible and easier to edit (subcategories, etc). This giveaway is totally up my alley!
Jessica R. says
PILOT ME!
Oh my, this is a dream giveaway. I have lists galore and am trying very hard to create the new habit of using one notebook to contain them all. Or else upgrade to an iPhone so I verbalize my lists to Suri and let her worry about where to place them?
Molly says
PILOT ME!
I’m strictly a post=its and pen kinda note-taker. I have lists everywhere.
SaRaH L says

Jill Frizzell says
Pilot Me!
Though I try to be digital to be more green..I just can’t do it 100% of the time. Prefer a pen, a nice ink one, with a fine point. Always one in my purse, in the car, and many random places throughout the house.

Abby says
Pilot me!
Ideally, Fine-point sharpies, or good quality pens with real ink (no gel for me!). In reality, whatever is closest.

Pilot me!
I find myself, more often than not, reaching for a Sharpie pen and post it notes. I have an impromptu bulletin board in my office area that consists of several notes stuck to the side of a armoire (where I can see it, but nobody looking in the room can)!
Len says
PILOT ME!
Man. Best giveaway! I love all of these things.
Pilot pens are my absolute favorite–particularly the Precise V5s. I always keep mine in my purse, joined with a graph paper notebook, to record thoughts, lists, research ideas, books to read, etc. I don’t use anything else!
I noticed a while back that you guys use them, and that made me happy. :)
simone says
PILOT ME… I scribble notes with anything writeable I can find… Usually on a sticky note :)

Brettany says
PILOT ME! There’s nothing better than a sharp, sharp pencil to make lists.
Meghan T says
PILOT ME! I love making lists on pen and paper. I usually have about 5 pens in my bag, but somehow they frequently disappear.
