***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 have a number of ways that I write notes and keep track of things, my Iphone, sticky notes, note pads, dry erase board, I have it all! I am a big note making girl simply for the fact that I love crossing things off my list once I finish them! Such a sense of accomplishment! :)

PILOT ME!
I must admit lacking organization when it comes to note taking. My office walls are decorated with colorful small papers. Though it can be joyful, it can cause headaches when looking for an info I know I wrote down somewhere…

Pilot me!
Tiffany says
PILOT ME! I’m a little crazy about my to do lists. I usually have one going at all times for home shopping, school short term, school long term, school shopping, school printing, and school laminating/cutting. The life of a preschool teacher is complicated I guess! I just recently tried to switch over digitally using an iPad. We’ll see how that goes!

I am a ridiculous list maker! Each day ends with the creation of my to-do list for the next. Of course, to keep it fun, I color coordinate my daily lists! Call me a dork, but it works!

PILOT ME!
just a pen and paper, often post-its
jenn says
Pilot Me! Sharpies are my faves, although I do use i-phone “notes”, but there’s just something about a hand-written note or scribble. I have a few of my late Grandmother’s notes that I just like to leave out around the house because it gives me joy to see her handwriting.
Usha says
PILOT ME! I use a spiral notebook and a pen and then a highlighter to mark out important stuff or things I’ve done. I also use phone apps for things like grocery lists where I can sync them with my husband’s phone.
Margaret says
Pilot ME! Love making lists with pen and paper.
Brittany says
PILOT ME!
I have to use ballpoint pens. They’re perfectly thin, don’t smudge, and just look nice. I cringe on the inside if I have to use thicker utensils! YUCK!
Taylor says
PILOT ME! I love office supplies and use various pens, pencils, notepads, etc. I always have them around and love to write notes!

PILOT ME! I love fine-point Sharpies, but any liquid pen tends to get me jazzed. I’ve been trying to make the crossover to digital notes to stay organized, but I still loves me some old-fashioned note taking!
Kelly t says
Pilot me! I write to do lists multiple times a day!
Cheryl P. says
PILOT ME!!! I love to write…as little digital as possible for me. And only with fine point ink, preferably in blue. My favorite is a gorgeous fountain pen gifted to me by a dear friend. Now THAT makes a beautiful line.
Joanna says

An old fashioned paper and pen is still my favorite way of keeping track of my to dos, but I am trying to be more modern and keep track on my phone. We’ll see…

PILOT ME!! My go-to is a small notebook I keep in my purse, and my FAVORITE pen (shh, it’s not a pilot) is a UNI-Ball Jetstream in black. Ahh, it writes soooooo smoothly. I want to get more into techy stuff with my IPAD, but I keep going back to pen and paper! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Caroline says
PILOT ME! I am also very um, particular, about my pens and always pick Pilot pens. This would be awesome! And at home I’m mostly digital, but at work I’m 100% dependent on pens and paper.
Natalie says
Pilot Me! Loving the pilot G-2 right now.
Jenny Dabbs says
PILOT ME! I always have at least three pens in my purse. I like a medium point in gel pens or rollers. I love new pens!! It feels like the first day of school when I pick up new pens at the store.
I have carried around a small notebook since I was in high school to take notes in, make lists or just write down musings. As you can imagine, at 38, I have quite the collection!
danielle m. says
PILOT ME!! I’m always taking notes digitally, but lately I’ve been wanting to start doing it by pen instead, I tend to remember things better if I see it written in my handwriting!
