***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…

Sarah t. says
PILOT ME!
I’m definitely a list maker and love to physically write stuff down and cross it off. And I do love a good pen!
Ben says
PILOT ME! I teach math – so my students must write in pencil!
Jenet says
Pilot Me!
I’m old school – I have to write everything down on paper. I usually do so on post-it notes so then I feel accomplished when I can toss them out!
Jen T says
PILOT ME!
At work, I have a big post-it note that I jot my notes down on, but outside of work, I use my phone’s notepad instead, or send myself an email!
Dylan says
PILOT ME! I used to jot down notes the old school way, with a ballpoint pen and a spare sketchbook I kept in my purse, but now I tend to use the voice memo app on my phone because it’s so much quicker/easier.
Crystal says
“PILOT ME!”
I love a good pen. Preferably refillable, blue ink and quick drying (to minimize smudges). I am all about pen & paper, kickin it old school. ;)
Melanie says
PILOT ME!
My boyfriend is a pen hoarder, I’m stuck with whatever he decides to ‘gift’ me with. (Actually, my favorite pens are the pens he gives me anyways). I’m a post it note kind of girl, and I get a sick sort of satisfaction when I get to throw the completed postits out.
Staci says
PILOT ME! I just use what I can find near me:)
Shanna says
PILOT ME! I usually either write things down in my planner or in a small notebook I keep in my purse. I prefer using a mechanical pencil or a fine-tip pen.
Melissa Breau says
Pilot me! As a writer I have a special love for office supplies … and this sounds like the best giveaway ever!
In answer to the bonus q: I tend to jot notes with a ball point most of the time.
Jessica P. says
PILOT ME!
I love making lists and being able to cross things off but I usually leave it somewhere or forget it when I leave for the store which means I am always forgetting stuff. Ooops. But I do love me some fancy writing utensils!
Heidi says
PILOT ME!
Right now my favorite type of pens are the gel. They have great ink flow. If I have to use a pencil – I want a mechanical one. It will always keep a point.
Nichole says
“PILOT ME!”
I like to use a pen and paper to take notes. i also will use my phone if I think I will forget something important and make sure to add it to a calendar reminder.
Nicole says
PILOT ME! I always ALWAYS use a Pilot G-2 pen in extra fine. I prefer blue, but black will work in a pinch. And I love to write my notes on a 3×3 sticky note.
Rachel says
PILOT ME!
I love good pens and really nice paper. My husband teases me about having an “office supply” addiction, and I’m not allowed in office supply stores unsupervised!
Sticky notes, notebooks, pens, pencils, stationery… you name it & I’m addicted to it! I always have a magnetic notepad or three on my fridge… at least one for my grocery list, and at least 2 more for my “to-do” lists.
Celine says
PILOT ME!
Lesley says
Pilot Me! I’m a pencil person. Maybe from all those years in choir being told that it was absolutely sinful to write on music in pen…
Liz Dunning says
PILOT ME!
As much as I want to be digital, I still love an swear by an ink pen and some paper, preferably unlined. :)
Mary says
PILOT ME! Hand written notes with anything that writes.

Amber says
PILOT ME! What a fun giveaway for an office supply nerd like myself. :)
Mallory says
PILOT ME!
I am a consistent note-taker. I write everything thing down in pen, or pencil, or electronically… whatever I can get my hands on really. It just so happens that Pilot V-ball pens are my favorite, so fluid and smooth, I probably went through a hundred of them in college.
Courtney Hilker says
PILOT ME!
Melissa says
PILOT ME!
Post-its all the way. I like to stick them on my desk in neat rows to keep track of what I’m doing. As a lefty, I never do anything in pencil (not even crosswords). My favorite pen right now is actually the Pilot G-2 .38.
Casee says
PILOT ME!!
I love making lists on pretty paper and taping them to the fridge. I also use tons of bright colored post-it notes and have them all over my office!
Amanda says
PILOT ME!
I lose pieces of paper too easily, so I mostly use the Notes app on my phone for everything.
Emily says
Pilot me! I love old school #2 pencils and fun notebooks :)
rachel ross says
pilot me!

emma says
PILOT ME! Live by the Pilot Precise line – black for lists/notes and pink/red for call outs/reminders.
Chaley says
PILOT ME!
I love pens and ALWAYS have lists and notes going. I am mocked by my friends and family for my love of paper, pens and lists.
Jen says
PILOT ME!! I love making lists the old fashioned way with pen and paper
Kayla Gassaway says
PILOT ME!!
I am a total pen & paper girl. I hate taking notes on my computer and never use my calendar on my iphone. I’m a list maker, so crossing it off accomplished tasks with a pen makes my heart happy:)
Nicola says
PILOT ME.
I love the pilot g-2 07 pens and a mini yellow legal pad. Always have them with me.

PILOT ME!
So, so, so exciting – I have used Pilot Precise V7 Rolling Ball pens for at least 10 years. I can’t stand using anything else.
Belen says
“PILOT ME!”
Pilot pens have been a favorite of mine since I was in middle school.
I use a black one exclusively for addressing my letters.
Caitlyn says
PILOT ME!
I always try to have pen and paper with me, but my handy smart phone is always there to save me when I forget!

pilot me! FYI, if one just copy and paste “pilot me” to the comment you get a “duplicate comment error”
Ben says
PILOT ME! – only green pens for me!
Erin says
PILOT ME!
I’m a blue ballpoint pen girl, all the way. In fact, I tend to hoard them so I always have one to write with!
Meg says
PILOT ME!
I mostly use pencils because I don’t like a mistake that is crossed out, it’s the perfectionist within ;-) Although my husband always buys the Pilot G-2 so I’ll occasionally steal one from him!
Suni says
Pilot Me!!
I’m a pen and paper notes everywhere type girl!
Anna D says
Pilot Me!! I pretty much only use pens, and I only really like the ones that right with a medium tip instead of fine, because I am a big ol’ weirdo!
SMW says
PILOT ME!
The last of my new year’s resolutions was to be organized enough to accomplish all my goals. Pens, highlighters, calendars, notepads, etc all a must!

PILOT ME!
I loooove pens, I have a bad pen addiction. Pens are what I go and buy when I am having a bad day at work and need some retail therapy!
Carla says
PILOT ME!
Still a pencil & paper gal, although a good pen is {almost} worth stealing..
and what a give-away…Pilot, Levenger and Target! Love it!
Andrea says
PILOT ME!
I have one pen that I use for my planners/etc. and I don’t think I could ever use another!
