***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…

Bronwyn Rapp says
PILOT ME! I always like to have a pad of Post Its and a Sharpie nearby. That is how I take notes and make to do lists.
Crystal says
PILOT ME! I love the ultra fine pilot G2 but I usually end up using a pencil, because of my terrible handwriting I have to keep erasing and rewriting until I can read it.
Robin says
Pilot Me! I mostly use my phone to take notes, but I’m a teacher so I use a ton of writing utensils in my classroom!
Kristen Sutton says
Pilot me! I have pens all over the place, now a notebook to keep in my purse, that’s a idea worth considering!
Erin says
PILOT ME!! I have a household journal that I use to keep all kinds of notes about my garden, what I packed for a certain vacation, family gatherings, grocery lists and plans for family parties. It’ll be fun to look back through the notes in a few years I’m sure. I think the notes will also come in handy too… because if I over/under packed for a trip or over/under bought for a party I can use it as a reference for next time.
Gen K. says
PILOT ME! I’m a pen and paper kind of gal. Colored Sharpies are my favorite, but usually not handy. Second favorite (and most used) are black ink pens. :)
Ashley says
PILOT ME! Since becoming an iphone user I’ve always used the “notes” section to write (er, type?) down hysterical quotes from our son, reminders, and random thoughts on life I get throughout the day =)
Ann says
Pilot me!

Linda says
Pilot me! I’m a lefty, so I have to be careful about what I write with–felt tip pens are out, because I end up smearing it. I prefer ballpoint, although even then I have to be careful!
Ella says
PILOT ME! I’m in the midst of finding the best way to transition over to digital note taking. At work, I have a notebook (for meetings), a small notepad (for noting temporary things like pixel width of an image), and a larger notepad that holds my to do list. Add to this my iPad where I’m using Evernote, and I have stuff everywhere!
