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).

  • 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?

  • 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.

    Pilot me! I really need some good pens. The ones I’m using now are horrible. I like to use pens, sticky notes, and notebooks.

    I always scribble things down on random pieces of paper like mail or important school documents using a “clicky pen.”

    I always have a gel pen with me… Never know when you’ll have a thought, need to scratch down something cool you saw, or have to write down that one thing you keep on forgetting!

    Thanks for the chance to win.

    I use mechanical pencils to write down things in my planner that might change, but prefer ball-point pens in multiple colors to write down different events based on who is involved. My hubby, kids and I each have our own color to make it easy to keep track of who’s doing what when. I keep an online calendar for it as well, but sometimes, nothing beats a good old-fashioned pen & paper list. :)

    I always use a good ol blue and white classic ball point for grocery lists, lesson plans and yes, crosswords :)

    PILOT ME! I use ink almost exclusively – unless I’m helping with kids’ math problems. I have a stack of notebook paper on a clipboard for my lists (there are always several going), and notes.

    I love staples brand black pens, but I am addicted to all sorts of fun office supplies! This would certainly come in handy with a new semester of graduate school about to start!

    PILOT ME! I like to have a plethora of utensils at my disposal. For my daily schedule, I use pencil – to make those last minute changes; my to-do lists are in pen!

    PILOT ME! Please! I’m a pen junkie….but I’ve been on a pen purchasing hiatus in order to use some up and simplify. I think it’s time for some more pens not to mention the Levenger notebooks…I’m drooling.

    Pilot me! I have a friend in high school who was obsessed with gel pens where she would have a little collection. And now thinking back I feel a little bit bad for always asking her to borrow a pen. So now I have my own pack of gen pens in my purse… you never know when you’ll need 5 different color of gel pens :)

    Pilot Me! I used to hate pencils, but I now have a job that requires pencils – and now they’re my top choice. But, having said that, I LOVE colored ink pens. Especially for check writing.

    In meeting after meeting filled with coworkers heads down in their laptops, I am usually the only girl sans computer. I stick to my trusty ballpoint and moleskine.

    I use pens and then highlight the really important things to remember. I always have at least two pens and two highlighters in my purse!

    I have a purse full of pens and sticky notes. My favorite pen is a pilot. :) My dad was a pilot and they’ve always been my favorite as they remind me of his profession.

    As a mom, I make lists however, whenever, wherever I can!
    But, I’m kind of particular about pens. When I was a busy student, or later on a scientist in the lab, I frequently resorted to writing things on the back of my hand to remember them. Pilot’s precise ink pens are actually great for this (so are ultrafine sharpies). As a lefty, I prefer real ink to ballpoint for all writing tasks, so that the ink soaks into the paper instead of smudging when my hand drags across my freshly-written words.
    Office supplies are somehow really fun, aren’t they? :)
