***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…

Anna DeCastro says
PILOT ME! I usually use pen and often grab for the mini orange one neatly tucked away in my coupon organizer that’s stashed in my purse. I am trying to adjust to using my phone now since I recently got an iPhone. It’s just not the same! The only benefit so far is that I don’t lose my lists!

PILOT ME!
I’m a pen and paper kind of girl. I love writing on graph paper, like a really thick pad of it. And I’ll take either a blue ball-point, or any multi-coloured fine-tip pen.

Oh wow, how great. I am always jotting down notes on scraps of paper, used envelopes, old homework, whatever is handy. I have passed this on to my 6 year old. I am always finding little notes and drawings all around the house. This would be fantastic, the whole she-bang!

Pilot me!
I’m pretty particular about pens and note taking as well. My husband makes fun of me because I’m the only person he knows that still keeps a paper agenda. I also really prefer blue ball point pens. And I love when they have a cap because I like to fidget with it!

Kristen says
PILOT ME! No matter where I am, I always havea pen and paper with me. My husband makes fun of me for it; even when he is the one that needs it. This weekend we were at a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese and I pulled one out to write all the names on the adults’ cups…

I’m a total list maker…the old fashioned way with blue ink…pilot me!!
Rachel says
Pilot Me!
I take notes in a few ways depending on where I am. At work and home I use post-its, my planner, or any sheet of paper I can find. If paper/pen are not around, I write the note in my cell phone. I’m pretty serious about a good pen – I am not always willing to let someone borrow it if it is a good one.
Love your blog!

PILOT ME!!
I always use post it notes and a paper planner!!

I’m a CPA. Many days are sheets of papers with tons of numbers and analysis. A while ago, I started penning each of my comments with flowers {rather than bullet points}. Gotta love a 0.7mm colored pen.

taking….. they are the best.
