***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…

Kate S says
PILOT ME!
I am a post-it scribbler. My New Year’s Resolution is to get organized and start writing everything down in notebooks, but post-its are just so convenient and just the right size. Of course, keeping track of dozens of small pieces of loose paper is another story…
Olivia says

Andie Jodko says
PILOT ME!
i scribble EVERYTHING on post-it notes, my purse/house/office are filled with loose notes, always in pen. and I love me some highlighters, more for the visual color than actually marking anything of significant importance.
Alex says
PILOT ME!
While I tend to go digital for personal organization, at school (I’m a teacher) I swear by the Pilot G2 pens. They come in all sorts of yummy colors (like hot pink, turquoise and purple) so I can avoid the dreaded red pen syndrome.

Traci says
PILOT ME!
I love my smartphone, but nothing replaces pen and paper for me. For some reason, my brain processes and remembers information better with good old fashioned writing.

eryn says
Pilot me!
I love making lists with pretty pens!!

PILOT ME! I love to write things down on paper . . . I am a Sharpie girl at heart and use them on everything much to the dismay of my husband (he doesn’t like that they bleed through the paper and my daughter has developed a love for my Sharpies, especially the pink ones, but probably not the best writing utensil to give a 5 year old).
Hilary Smith says
PILOT ME! As a teacher, I use blue pens, black pens, red pens, pink pens, highlighters, pencils, note pads, planners, calendars, you name it. I have tons of them EVERYWHERE.
whitney says
Pilot Me! A fresh sheet of paper and a black ballpoint pen is my favorite way to jot down notes. I do most things on my macbook or iphone now, but I was just thinking about making my way over to the Franklin-Covey store to get back to doing things the “old-fashioned” way.
Debbie says
PILOT ME! I keep a to-do list on my desk at all times

Aimée says
PILOT ME!
I have a serious weakness for/addition to/obsession with pens, pencils, notebooks, pads, fancy paper… I have a wondeful collection of pens of different colours and ink types all for specific things. I love a good list – so satisfying! As much as I love my gadgets, I could never go all electronic. Nothing really replaces a handwritten note!
All hail the noble pen :)
