***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…

Liz S says
Pilot me! I wish that I wasn’t old school to love using pen and paper. There isn’t anything more satisfying that crossing off items on a to do list.
Shan says
PILOT ME! Blue ink easy flow ball point all the way (fine tip). Easier to distinguish photocopies from the original with blue ink v black, and as much as I love a good fountain pen, I dislike the inevitable smudges.

HeatherD says
Pilot me!
I’m a nurse so I am obsessed with pens and markers also! My pens get stolen so often I actually didn’t even scoff at the idea of 500$ worth of writing utensils! I carry a journal with a pen in it in my purse so I always have something to write or scribble.. Wherever inspiration hits!

There is nothing quite as satisfying as the just-right feel and flow of ink onto paper. Who *are* these people who don’t even notice it? Amateurs! :^)
My purse is incomplete until it has my journal, my little notebook, and a few gel pens.
Look for the journals with paper made from STONE at Target next time you’re there. Absolute luxurious feel!

I am hands down a pen to paper girl, I appreciate technology but I just love a handwritten note, letter and above all – a good LIST!

madeline says
PILOT ME!
Katie says
Pilot Me! I long to be one of those organized people with cute handriting but usually have to settle for a maniacal stack of post-its. Maybe some new fun colored pens would perk up my note taking though . . .
