***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…

andrea @ my kinda perfect says
PILOT ME!
I’m big on writing things in my planner…that way there’s only one place to look! If it’s temporary, like a grocery list, I just use scrap paper or a post it note…but I always use pens…the more colors, the better.

PILOT ME! Pencil or pen and paper planner for me! I find that the physical act of writing something down is enough for me to remember it. This doesn’t work as well on my phone calendar, so I don’t use it.

pilot me! post-its are my life…but I’ve recently discovered Wunderlist – an online (and phone app) to-do list tool where you can make all kinds of lists and you even get the satisfaction of checking a little box to see that task get crossed off and put in the “done” section. Makes my desk so much neater and saves paper!

Kristen says
Pilot me!
I am obsessed with the Pilot Razor Point pens, black but I have to use red for markups sometimes. When I found out my office keeps them in stock I got so excited. I also like blank or graph paper to write on. Weird I know.
Kristle says
PILOT ME!!!
I’m all about the pen/pencil (doesn’t matter) and paper. I tried going digital last year and that did not work for me. Give me a datebook and pen or pencil anyday.

PILOT ME !
I write lists with regular old pen and paper. Something satisfying about crossing things off :) I esp. love a nice color of Fine Point . It’s the little things :)
Julie says
Pilot Me! Nothing beats good old paper and pen for notetaking. Just the other day I was happy to see Pilot has an erasable gel pen called Frixion, and it works like a charm. I’ve tried going digital but it doesn’t work for me. Bring on the pen, paper and organizers, I’m ready to roll.
Karly says
Pilot Me! Surprisingly, even though I also have an iPhone, I still use a paper planner and keep all my notes and appointments there.
JoAnn in NJ says
PILOT ME! I love the Pilot Precise in all its versions. I love them so much that those are the only ones I get and I buy them for myself so I don’t have to use cheap pens at work (done this for years) and have had them SHAMELESSlY stolen from me by CEO’s in non profits across NJ.
Pick me please – I’m a non profit person and have to buy my own pens!
Katie says
PILOT ME! As a mathematics undergrad and grad student I swore by pencils. Now that I am officially 100% in the working world, I have moved on to pens!
