***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…

I am obsessed with pens, too! And my day planner. I keep track of everything in there – daily eats, plans, a budgets! I love a nice fine point pen!
Robin says
PILOT ME! This post made my heart glad! I keep pens everywhere for my list making habit. I like making lists because I feel accomplished crossing things off, like eating lunch. Random segway, my fun university course was taking an environmental design class and the prof actually spent one lecture telling us the importance of a good pen. He wanted us to all go buy pilot black pens!

naomi says
PILOT ME! I’m in school and I like to take notes in a spiral notebook with a variety of pens. Last fall I used felt tip pens and fine sharpies.
Kathy says
PILOT ME!
And I am a mixture of everything. I have pens with me at all times (one in my car, one in my wallet, one in my purse and a whole thing at my desk) and a notebook/pad for several different things. I also include several different digital note options available as well! I love them alls!

Pamela Hiar says
“PILOT ME!” My DH always carries his “space pen” with him. It writes in any position and is only about 6″ long. I always know he has it in his pocket so I don’t need to carry one.
lesismore says
pilot me!
I’ve been known to write with crayon on the back of an envelope from opened mail in desperate situations. I do prefer the scribble-on-something method rather than digital.
Karla says
Pilot me!
I always have a billion pens stuffed in my purse (at least one of which is probably leaking as we speak) and stack of fluorescent notepads on hand. The bright paper makes my grocery and to-do lists a little easier to find at the bottom of my bag.
Jamie says
PILOT ME!
I am a “use whatever works”, or more likely a “use whatever I find first” kind of person when it comes to writing utensils. Having special pens to choose from would be fun! And I have spent serious quality time browsing at Levenger – good stuff.
Courtney says
Pilot Me!! I love pens – I couldn’t stay organized without my pen and planner, which are in my purse at all times
kristen says
PILOT ME! Lists are my life! Sometimes I rely on apps, but pen and paper are my jam! Nothing is more satisfying than crossing an item off your list when you’re using paper and pen.
caroline tetrault says
PILOT ME
I traditionnal, i like pen and paper.
Laura says
PILOT ME! At work, I’m all about pens and post-its! And my phone is full of to do lists, grocery lists, books to read lists, plants I like lists, you name it. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
Leigh says
PILOT ME!
My phone isn’t working so great so if I already submitted I promise I am not trying to cheat. P.S. Cheaters never prosper.

Victoria says
Pilot me! This giveaway is awesome and Pilot pens are my favorite. Pen! Always pen! Writing in pen screams, “teach means business.”
Karen B says
Pilot me!
I definitely prefer a pen– it’s faster and I spent way too much time in my youth perfecting my handwriting to let it go to waste now. ????
dian says
Pilot me! Like Sharpies for bold strokes and roller ball pens for precise markings.
Andrea Zant says
PILOT ME — Since I homeschool I am frequently making notes to myself and son. I am, unfortunately, guilty of grabbing whatever is at hand to scribble on or with. I am trying to get more organized and make digital notes to send myself when I am out of the house. It is a lot harder to lose my list when it is on my phone.
Kim Madden says
Pilot me!
With the # of entries you get I know I won’t win, however, I just had to say that my 10-year-old son asked for pilot mechanical pencils for Christmas. He’s become a labels man…Under Armour, Air Jordan, Nike, and apparently Pilot. He did get some from his little brother and he was super excited.
Miki says
Pilot Me! I keep all my work notes in a notebook so that I can find them if I ever need to go back and look something up.
Beth says
PILOT ME! I work in auditing…so ink is the name of the game. No erasies!
Celestial says
PILOT ME! What a fun giveaway!
I generally make notes on my itouch in the notebook section. I think I have about a dozen or so lists going on all at once. Anything from groceries (a list for each store) to random to-do lists. But my favorite backup is a small moleskine and pen in the purse. For my hubby I put lists on post-its in a similar fashion. Each category/store gets it’s own list.
Sarah says
Pilot me! I “try” to keep my planner by me otherwise things disappear from my mind. :(
Kaci B says
Pilot me!! I always have a pen with me: purse, desk, backpack, etc.
Allison says
PILOT ME!!
I cannot function without graph paper and a pen, pencil, and marker on me at all times. You never know which one you will need at a given time.
Crystal Odegard says
PILOT ME!
Sarah S. says
PILOT ME! I am half and half between pen and paper and notes on my phone.
Rachel says
PILOT ME! I love my purple and green pens for writing notes to others. As far as myself, I usually jot lists down on the white board by my front door so I can erase as I finish things.
