***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’ve got a thing for fine point sharpie style pens and markers. I just love them. Especially if they come in pretty colors!
Devin says
PILOT ME! I love the sharpie pens…for some reason they are just so fun to write with!
Amy says
Pilot me! The G-2 and Varsity, both in black, are actually my favorite pens ever. Like I won’t let other people borrow them kind of favorite. I tend to draw with them more than list with them, but I think I definitely write better with them than any other pen.
Adri says
PILOT ME!
I write with a Pilot G2 all the time and I would LOVE to have more of their products!
Adri says
PILOT ME!
I love Pilot pens. It would be great to have more! I usually use the G2.
Sarah says
Pilot me! My phone is stuck in the dark ages, so I still keep a pen handy. I kind of like writing on receipts and scraps of paper. Makes me feel like a future famous writer of some sort.
Adri says
PILOT ME!
I write with the Pilot G2 when I’m using a pen and BIC mechanical pencils when I need to be able to erase.
Kaleena Edwards says
Pilot me! Please :-)
Susan says
PILOT ME!!
My husband is forever stealing my pens, so when I have an idea or need to jot a note, I usually run around the house like a crazy women looking for anything to write with. I’ve even used an eyeliner pencil once or twice! ;)
Erin says
PILOT ME! – I always have at least 3 pens near me at all times (really I just dumped my purse). And I write down what notes I’m taking or doodles on the nearest scratch paper.
leslie g says
PILOT ME! I totally leave pens everywhere. End of counter, table, window sill – just so there is always one handy. I also have random scraps of paper laying around – used envies, sticky notes, etc. Not very organized, but it works for me.
Lauren says
PILOT ME!
i love writing with disposable fountain pens.
Meagan says
Pilot me! I always carry around at least one pen to jot down notes and lists and any piece of scratch paper I can find.
Rebe says
PILOT ME!
For class I’m all about Google Drive but for general every day things like shopping lists I love Sharpie Pens! Well anything that isn’t a pencil. Unless I’m marking my music – that’s the only place I ever use pencil.
Lindsay T says
Pilot me!
Meagan S says
Pilot me! I always carry around at least one pen to jot down notes and lists.

PILOT ME! I keep my PAPER agenda with me at all times (who does that still?) and my purse is full of pens that I keep somehow “borrowing” from work at the end of the day.
Tesse says
Pilot me!
I have good intentions to go digital but I often end up writing on my hand….
Ashley says
PILOT ME!
I adore pens and papers. I usually always have a notebook with me – mostly comes from being a writer, wanting to jot down any good thoughts – and usually have quite a few pens on me or in my purse. I’ve started to use my smart phone to take notes, too, especially Evernote.
Christina C says
PILOT ME!
I take mostly digital notes these days, but I do scribble a reminder on my hand from time to time.
Nicole S. says
PILOT ME!
Melissa says
Pilot me!
Good old fashioned pen and paper works for me!
Sam says
PIOLOT ME!
I usually take notes in a Field Notes pocket notebook with a ballpoint.
Amanda B says
Pilot Me! I use whatever is available to jot notes, cell phone apps, sharpies and paper towels, even sometimes a stray crayon. Whatever works!
Christine Wong says
PILOT ME!
I use the same pens to take notes: Papermate Flair. They don’t bleed through and come in fun colors!
Jennifer says
Pilot Me! I love office supplies in general. I actually keep a little aluminum covered note pad in my purse with a ballpoint pen at all times. I remind myself of things on Post It notes and absolutly adore the Levenger catalog!
Paula says
Pilot me!
I love list making. I use pen and ink, pencil and paper, and digital. I just love to make lists. And I cannot tell you how much fun it is to doodle with sharpies
Lee Ann says
PILOT ME! Love a good ballpoint pen and plenty of them because I can’t seem to keep up with them! Thanks!
Virginia Weiner says
Pilot Me!!! I like using a pen am specifically prefer Pilot pens! I even being my own to use at work since the ones they have there aren’t nearly as good. When making a note, I also find it helpful to write in a cute notepad so I pull it out more often. Cute and organized…perfection!
Brittany says
Pilot me!
There’s nothing like a (good) pen and paper. I’m a note-taker, list-maker, and doodle-drawer–so a nice fine tip pen is always within my reach!
Fun giveaway!
Dawn says
PILOT ME!!!
I always keep a pen in me to jot something down. Now, paper? Usually not… :)

PILOT ME! I’m a huge fan of the G2-05 gel pen for all my scribbling, although lately I’ve grown fond of the V-5 Precise pen as well. (I’m a huge pen nerd)
Michael says
Pilot Me!
I love ballpoint pens above pencils in every aspect and I tend to take a pen with me when I go out, just in case I have to sign something. Also, since I’m a poet of sorts, I love writing my poems down to keep them, so I always have my favorite pen within reach!
Helen says
PILOT ME! I have a pen within reach at all times… multiples, usually. I’m always grabbing a tiny scrap of paper to write down an idea or a quote or a to-do or something funny my kids say. I used to work in a school and couldn’t lead a meeting without a pen in hand… I think my writing utensils are directly connected to my brain!
Colleen says
PILOT ME!
I have an entire pencil case full of writing implements (highlighters, permanent markers, mechanical pencils, and 3+ ball point pens) and sticky notes in my purse at all times. Sometimes alligator clips, paper clips, and rubber bands find their way in there too. What can I say, I’m a teacher. Obviously I dig office supplies.
Christine S. says
PILOT ME! I always have a pen on hand, but the good ones seem to disappear on me much too often. Thanks for the giveaway!
Megan says
Pilot me! I love good pens. I’m also really picky about my stationary supplies!

Pilot me!!! I definitely am old school when in comes down to writing notes. My favorite writing tool is a fine tipped black marker.

JustAng says
PILOT ME! I live by those red ink Pilot pens!
Vivian S. says
Pilot me! Love cheap ballpoint pens, easy to use and cheap to buy haha
bruns says
Pilot me! I’m super picky about my pens, too, and only use the G-2 0.7 mm in black. I keep a stash at home, at the office, in my car, in my purse…
JKW says
PILOT ME!
Is it sad that I COULD probably imagine what I would do with $500 worth of pens?
My current mainstays are the Uniball Signo Micro 207 and the Pilot G-1. But I’ve recently started getting into sketchnoting, which is a fantastic excuse to try out approximately every pen known to man.
Leslee says
PILOT ME!
I love making lists….I’ll use whatever’s handy! Pen, pencil or app!
I could definitely use some organization though :)
Chels says
PILOT ME!! I’m a little digital and a lot of pen! I go nuts if I discover while in a store that I have no pen in my purse!
