***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…

Diana says
Pilot me! Clicky pens-everywhere. Professional scientists have their pencils taken away at a young age, so I pretty much only have pens…and the levengers would be amazing!
Sarah says
PILOT ME!
I am a list maker and pen and small notebook is the way to go for me.
Jessi E says
PILOT ME!
I keep my planner in my purse along with a couple of fun colored pens. Pink and green are my ink of choice at the moment!
Rachael says
PILOT ME!!
I love Pilot pens!

PILOT ME!
Blue ink pens all the way!
Jenny says
Pilot me!
Going to school part time I could use the pens and paper for class!
AlaskanAlison says
Pilot me!
I keep a giant pile of scrap paper next to my computer. Which is nice, but then I always have random pieces of paper all over the place.
Sarah says
Pilot Me!
Valerie says
Pilot me!! I love a pen and paper for a list…also love to have things on my phone. Sometimes I’ll just take a pic of my list!
Heather W says
Pilot me!!!! I live the Pilot G-2 in blue ink! My only writing tool!! And I LOVE Target!!!!
Miranda says
Pilot Me!
I always have a pen in my purse for lists and my planner. I tend to lose them and end up taking them from every place I go. Let me win so I can stop being a pen klepto!
Amy says
Pilot Me! I use my digital tools as my ‘master list’ but my day to day tasks are jotted in pen. There’s nothing better than crossing something off my list!
Justine says
PILOT ME! It’s gotta be a tie between old fashioned post-its and my little virtual notepad on my phone…..whatever is closest to me!
Kristi says
PILOT ME!!! As convenient as a phone is for recording notes, I get tired of typing on it, so I still make lists and notes with a pen and paper. The annoying part? I’m always searching for a pen and paper!
Juliann says
Pilot Me!
I write with pens on whatever I can find to write on usually! That usually means a lot of lost notes and shopping lists on random envelopes.
Michelle says
Pilot Me! I always keep a pen in my purse to cross off my numerous lists.
Shelley says
Pilot me!
I am a pen user, but it must be a “click” pen. Strange but true.
Bethany says
PILOT ME!
A good pen and a journal are key for being creative!
Meghan says
PILOT ME!
I am very much a pen and paper kind of girl. Black felt-tipped pen all the way.
Jacki says
Pilot me! My favorite pen is a uniball jetstream…..but shhhh, don’t tell pilot :)
Angela says
Pilot Me!!!
I am all about the pens. I love ’em! I prefer to write down anything I need to remember in a small notebook I keep in my purse.
Summer says
PILOT ME!
I am nothing if not a list maker, with good old fashioned pen and paper. I’m slightly obsessed with note pads and cards and am always on the hunt for the perfect pen. My planner and several pens are always in my purse.
Although, there is also something about a freshly sharpened pencil!!
Becca says
PILOT ME! I keep a cute notebook in my purse. If I have a sketchy idea, I use a mechanical pencil to draw it out. Otherwise I like medium ballpoint pens – black ink only, please!
Nat says
PILOT ME!
Even though my phone could keep track of messages and notes, I still find writing it down a better process -I tend to remember it better. Also, I’ve sworn by Pilot’s Dr. Grip for the past 15 years when it first became a huge thing in Japan.
Bridget says
PILOT ME! I love writing with a pen that borders on a marker — there’s something very “take charge” about it! But, let’s be honest, I usually take notes with whatever pen/pencil/keyboard is closest.
Elizabeth says
Pilot Me!!!!! I am a pen person, I always have a few handy and I jot down notes on anything I can get my hands on!
Amy says
PILOT ME!
Anne says
PILOT ME!
I make lists all the time and love the satisfaction of crossing things off! In my calendar I only use pencil because I need the neatness of erasing when my plans change.
amanda f. says
PILOT ME!
Pen and paper all the way! An occasional fine point marker is nice too!
TristaG says
Pilot Me!
I’m a teacher, but not very organized… My jotting down notes system involves lots of sticky notes. However, I do you different colors based on the notes I writing (pink for things I have to do, green for student thing to remember, etc)
kim kassor says
pilot me!!!
I prefer any blue pen :)
Lauren says
PILOT ME!
I would have no problem using $500 for pin and things. I work for an internet company and am on the computer all. the. time…so I LOVE any opportunity I get to write something down on paper! Colors!!
Tiffany Hilyard says
Pilot Me! I’m a teacher and use just about any writing utensil I can find. In my purse, I carry a Hampton Inn pen that writes beautifully in my Parisian notepad. I usually use my phone to keep a grocery list, though.
Kathy says
Pilot me! Call me weird , but having the perfect inky pen makes me want to make my handwriting prettier and write a million to-do lists! :) it’s the little things in life ….
clare says
PILOT ME!
I love post-its with my favorite Pilot pen actually!
Michelle says
Pilot Me! Despite numerous failed attempts by my husband to get to me use my phone apps, I generally go with the tried and true pen and paper method for most list-making.
April says
Pilot me! In cursive :)
Lindsay says
PILOT ME! I love the good ole pen and paper. Most meeting notes are in a notebook, but for sporadic notes, I use scratch paper. Trying to gain some control over the various notes floating around!
Jess says
PILOT ME!
I always have a pen and paper handy, just in case. Gotta love list-making!
Carolyn says
PILOT ME!
Post it notes for me.
KATI says
PILOT ME!
My favorite way to write down notes/to-do lists is the old fashioned way..pens & paper. Specifically G-2 Fine Point pens. Love them! I have a “list book” where I keep all my scribbles.
Trisha Elliott says
Pilot me …
First I am obsessed with office supplies. Especially a good pen. I use pen and pencil! Multiple pens in fact. Different colored ink. LOVE it. Colorful notes with highlighted sections … just makes working easier for me. :)
Julie F says
PILOT ME
Heather S. says
Pilot me!
I use notebooks and pens. I love a good inky pen. Something about the nice contrast to the white paper. I have notebooks galore in this house with pretty much the same list over and over :) What to clean and what to buy, but if I don’t write it down, it just doesn’t happen.
lara says
Pilot me! I love writing, period – the only thing I don’t like to write with are super fine tip pens or pencils. But pencil, pen, marker, crayon….I’ll take any of them!
Ashleigh says
Pilot Me! I love a nice felt tip pen, but I usually go for a ball-point because they’re less likely to smear.
Jess says
PILOT ME!!!
Whichever pen is handy scribbled on the back of whatever used envelope is handy!
James says
pilot me!
i’m digital all the way now, but my wife still prefers the old-fashioned way of pen and paper.
