***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 Pilot pens and they are my favorites. I also have a passion for purple and broker down and ordered a box online just so I always have one handy. I prefer to scribble in notebooks, teeny ones that fit in my purse (ahem, diaper bag) but truly end up using Evernote a lot.
Janeidy says
PILOT ME!!!
Winning this giveaway would make me hyperventilate! I could stand in the office supply section of ANY store for hours if possible! I love Pilot pens. I always have to have a pen and a notepad in my purse. Love making lists!!

I could swear human invented fire, then pen!

Liz says
Pilot me!! I love writing lists!
Jan Thompson says
PILOT ME!
I am all about the pencil. Always have. I just like how my handwriting looks in pencil over pen. But now that we have more things that can be kept on my phone and usually do that.
Connie says
PILOT ME to Target for organization. I have pens stashed everywhere, need paper.

I love having a good fine tip blue ball point pen handy – I love they way they write!
Anita says
PILOT ME!
I’m definitely a note taker, but as long as I have a pen and a clear space to write, I’m not picky :-)
Sarah says
“PILOT ME!”
I usually have pens around, but never any paper, so I end up writing on the back of an envelope…
A says
PILOT ME! There are notepads every 5 feet so I’m never without when I need to make a note.
Katie says
Pilot me! Noticing some small tweaks in the site, loving it! List making is the only reason I cannot have a small purse, and said list must look perfect (you never know who will see my list at the store)!
Shannon Noe says
PILOT ME!
There’s nothing like good ol pen and paper for me!
Samantha says
Pilot Me! I usually write lists on those cute notepads you can spot at the Target dollar spot. As far as which pen? We bought 10 (yes 10) boxes of pens when they were on sale for 10 cents a box. That was 5 years ago and we’re STILL using them up. So ready for new pens! Haha!
Allison says
PILOT ME!
While I love my technology, I’m a die hard post-it note and pen kinda gal. My favorite pen is actually a Pilot Precise v5 … I keep a box in my desk at all times.
cecilia says
PILOT ME!!
I leave a master notebook downstairs (and a small one in my nightstand). I also like the “notes” app on the iPhone.
Scott says
PILOT ME!
When I am working, I always rest a pen on my ear. It sounds strange written down but I never have to search my cluttered desk for a pen.
Maryanne B says
PILOT ME!
Angela B says
PILOT ME! I am addicted to post it notes. I write everything I need to do on them and then I get a real charge when I get to rip one down and ball it up and throw it away.
Jessica says
PILOT ME!
I’m so excited about this giveaway – I use and love Levenger’s Circa system, and was just thinking about how I need to re-up my stash of supplies. Perfect timing – I hope! :)
Michelle says
PILOT ME!
I always have a pen in my purse, just not always the paper…so the notepad on my phone is a lifesaver!
sara says
“PILOT ME!”
I always have a pen (a pilot one actually) in my purse at all times along with a mechanical pencil. I’m lost without them!

Pilot Me!
Always have a pen and paper for notes and lists!
Sarah says
Pilot Me! I am a list making fanatic! I keep a notepad and pen in my car just in case :)
Stephanie says
PILOT ME!!
Whenever I take a phone message at work, I tend to type it instead of scribbling it down. No idea why… But probably because if I write something down on paper and I don’t like how a word looks or if my handwriting is messy, I always have to re-do it :)
Dana says
“PILOT ME!” (please) I swear by my Pilot G-2 07s and have used them exclusively since high school.
amc says
PILOT ME! I am a list maker. Any way will do. I have a pen and paper list in my bag, post it notes on my desk, electronic lists in my email and phone.
Lisa says
PILOT ME! I use pens and pencils equally – pencils for drafting and helping my kids with their homework and pens for cards and letters and signing things. I’m a notorious absent-minded pen thief when I borrow pens, so winning would be great!
Brandy says
PILOT ME!!
My favorite pen is the Pilot Precise (extra fine point)!! I love them enough to pay $3.99 for a 2 pack ;)
Lauren Hayden says
PILOT ME!
I make lists everywhere–sticky notes, legal pads, apps on my iphone, google task list. I never know where to look for my to do list.
Amber says
PILOT ME!
I have lists everywhere. Being an attorney, I’m in the habit of using blue pens for signing documents. So the VBall Grip and the Precise V5 in blue are used for all of my work and all of my many, many, to do lists/menu plans/grocery lists.
Marcelle says
PILOT ME!
I love writing to-do lists, but it NEEDS to be written with the same pen! Bold, black ink prefered.
Sarah Marie says
Pilot Me!
My favorite way to keep organized is with a ballpoint pen and a notepad.

PILOT ME!
I tend to carry around pens that are out of ink. Not on purpose.

Tasha says
PILOT ME! I love a good inky ballpoint pen on post-it notes.
Sophia says
Pilot Me!
I am totally a spazz! Whatever I can find in my purse, on the desk, in a random drawer… I will write with anything marker, pencil, blood (ok, ok kidding…) haha! On the back of receipts, my hand, checkbook, mail!
leslie says
PILOT ME! ove me some pens and pads of paper! Actually requested a spiral last Christmas to keep all my notes/house ideas in!
Adriaan says
PILOT ME!
For years I’ve kept everything written in my planner, if I don’t write it in there it’s like it doesn’t exist!
Megan says
PILOT ME!
I’ve tried – and loved! – those erasable pens. They are fantastic for people like me who love pens but tend to make mistakes. :)
Brady says
PILOT ME!
I write notes on scrap paper all of the time. My purse is full of small pieces of paper with lists or reminders. I really need to get organized and buy a small notebook – hey, a perfect use for this giveaway!!
Colleen says
Pilot me! I love to make lists with a good ole’ pen and notepad!
Taryn says
Pilot me :) Making notes & doodling while on the phone at work is my idea of a good time. I may right my name 100 different ways during a phone call!
Anne says
Pilot Me!
I’m a tried and true pen and paper gal :) I use Outlook at work PLUS a good ol’ fashioned paper calendar to keep my schedule flowing smoothly.
