***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…

Pilot Me… I love to write in blue and like to make a list of things to do just so I can cross them off. When I don’t have a pen nearby, I email myself so I can add items to the list.
Mrs M says
PILOT ME!
Pen or pencil and lined paper. Can’t stand to write on blank sheets!
As a professor, I love the perfect pen! Makes grading so much more tolerable when you write with say, purple ink.
Cathy says
PILOT ME! I scribble notes on Post its…
Lindsey says
Pilot Me!
I always have a few pens and pencils in my purse, although pens are my first choice. I’m trying to go digital with my new Ipad, but I won’t be able to completely do away with the pen…..
Sara says
Pilot me!
I’m a list maker. A good friend told me last night to stop making lists and give into a life of randomness and spontaneity. So not happening. I love my lists and a good, inky, pen.
Mireille says
PILOT ME! I just finally got my 2013 planner and I am enjoying feeling a bit more organized!
Amy says
PILOT ME!
I use pen, sticky notes, and a planner to keep myself organized. I just can’t stand the sound of pencils. It’s like chalk to me. And, while I love my iPhone, it’s just not the same as having a paper planner in front of me.
Sarah says
PILOT ME!
I love to write it all down in a notebook… no smart-phone means I haven’t (yet) crossed the line into virtual list-making…
SJ says
PILOT ME! I keep a little leather bound journal in my purse for quick notes and ideas
Courtney Stillwagon says
Pilot me!!!
Kate says
Pilot me!!
I love a classic blue ballpoint pen and a cute notebook :)
Morgan says
PILOT ME!
I prefer pens to pencils, but tend to keep on-going lists in the Notes app on my phone for easy access.
Crystal S says
PILOT ME!!
I always have an assortment of pens with me at all times (in my purse) for jotting down notes and lists of all sorts. I prefer to write on paper (you know, the old-fashioned way) instead of making a list on my phone. Its just so much more satisfying!
Allison says
PILOT ME!
I always prefer a pen and paper to take my notes on – I’m constantly jotting down things in my tablet!
E. M. says
PILOT ME!
If I’m doing some serious writing (like a to-do list that’s going to stick around for a while) I like to use pencil so if I mess up I don’t have to start over…
Allison says
Pilot me!
I love having pens in my purse, on my nightstand, anywhere where I might need to jot something done. Le Pen is my current favorite pen type!
Nikkidd says
PILOT ME! I love to write things down, so I typically use whatever pen is handy to jot notes in my planner or in a notebook. I like to color-code, stay organized and try to be productive! This giveaway sounds amazing!
Heather G says
PILOT ME!
I use the following planner and it helps me plan my busy working mama to 2 life!

Isabel says

Andrea says
PILOT ME–I am very particular about pens and have a pen and a small notebook at all times in my wallet!

Kim Higginbotham says
PILOT ME!!! I’m a Post-It kind of gal, and a nice variety of writing tools makes me weak in the knees. :)
Rachael Bourque says
Pilot me! I’m a messy messy notetaker. I write on everything. I’m also a researcher – so I take a lot of notes and keep pens/mini-notepads stashed everywhere.
Samantha says
PILOT ME!
I normally use my iPhone to make notes if i’m out and about, but there’s still something so satisfying about good ol’ fashioned pen and paper. Crossing things off a list just doesn’t feel as good when done digitally. :)
kara k. says
pilot me! i love felt-tip pens. i also love ball-point pens on a squishy surface, like when you’re signing a check at a restaurant on the check holder.
Angela Hall says
Pilot Me. I am always making a list and I am super picky about my pen!
Christina says
PILOT ME!
I’m not organized enough to carry something specific, but I do carry the pen we bought at the Vatican post office in the diaper bag for some reason. (And I do love a good Muji pen!)
Heidi says
Pilot me!!! Good ol fashioned pen and paper :)
Liz Anderson says
PILOT ME!
I have the Pilot G-2’s in every color! I love color coding my to do list at work for all my different jobs! I’m a pen and notebook gal no matter how much stuff I have in my phone I only remember it if I actually write it down!
Sus says
“PILOT ME!”
I use a red pen exclusively at work; so much so that coworkers think anything written in red is automatically from my hand.
Kara says
PILOT ME!
it’s all about pens. i like a click-type (cause they’re usually in my scrubs or pocket) and it keeps my OCD brain a little busy- while simultaneously annoying everyone around me- SCORE!
Tamara says
PILOT ME!!!! My favourite way to scribble notes is with a pen in a spiral bound notebook – I seem to have a million around the house!
Lindsey says
Pilot me! I’m still looking for the perfect “purse notebook & pen.” I try touse my phone but I just need to scribble sometimes.
Meghan Lewis says
Pilot Me!
I’m all about the ball point pen. My hubby can’t stand them, though. As far as taking notes, I use what I’ve got… sticky notes, old receipts, printer paper, notebooks, etc.
Wehaf says
PILOT ME! A pen and some scrap paper, please!
Dee says
PILOT ME! I can only take notes (I’m still in school) with pen or pencil. No digital for me!
Tanya Quinlan says
Pilot Me!
Pens and Sticky Notes are my organizational jam!
Kelly says
PILOT ME!
Even in the digital age, I still love keeping lists on a notebook in my purse.
Rachel M says
PILOT ME!
I am a total pen and paper girl. I have made my own planner/calendar/ book of lists. It is my second (only?) brain!
Valerie says
Pilot Me!
Jacqueline says
PILOT ME! Thanks guys :)
Laura King says
PILOT ME!
It has to be in my face, so I use a pen on my hand for important notes, but everything else I write down in my planner on post-its!
Susan says
PILOT ME! I have a tiny notebook in my bag but find myself always writing notes in my phone instead.
Natasha says
PILOT ME!
I usually take notes on my phone. :]
Kris says
PILOT ME!
Danielle W. says
“PILOT ME!”
I love Pens!!! There’s nothing better in a letter, than a BIG-FAT-BLACK-Scribble through a word, to bring a laugh to the person reading it :)
Cait Supka says
Pilot ME! I have jotted down more notes than I care to admit with lipstick from the bottom of my purse as a last resort!
Erin says
PILOT ME! I love different colored pens!
gosia says
PILOT ME! gel pens… and pencils… assuming my daughter hasn’t taken them from me..
Kelsey says
PILOT ME!
I mostly rely on my memory which is a terrible way to actually remember anything.
