***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…

Tricia D says
Pilot Me!
I love pen and paper to take my notes, but i couldn’t live without sticky notes!
Robin @ our semi organic life says
PILOT ME!
I’m sorta in a transition where I use post it notes for short daily to-do’s, I use big legal pads for notes at work, and then digital iphone to-dos for other things. I finally got siri so she helps me out.
Megan Geneva says
Pilot me! I email myself lists and reminders all the time.
Laura says
Pilot me!
I usually have a gel pen on every flat surface of house and I take notes in a giant notebook…then I duplicate the effort by emailing myself the details using my smart phone.
Jennifer says
PILOT ME!
Love Levenger items, my boss uses these to keep organized. they look awesome. I’m a list writer of sorts, love the feeling of crossing through items. Post it notes are my friends at work. I routinely get made fun of because of my organizational skills..I might be a little type A.
Robin says

Pilot Me! I always have a pen and stick notes in my purse.
Jennifer L says
Pilot Me! Nothing better than a quality pen and notebook!
Lauren Parker says
Pilot Me!
I enjoy writing with smooth ink pens. While it can be convenient and “green” to take notes on an electronic pad, there is nothing quite like the old fashioned pen and paper.
katie says
pilot me! i just discovered pilot’s disposable fountain pens — LOVE them! now i take all my school notes in ink and feel so distinguished.

I’m a fan of fine-tip ball point pens and post-its. I would get nothing done without post-its.
Heather D says
Pilot me!
I LOVE cool pens and getting organized would certainly take a load off!
Kelly says
PILOT ME!
I usually scribble my notes with whatever pen, pencil, crayon or marker is lying around on whatever piece of paper, mail, envelope is lying around as well…
Jenny says
PILOT ME!
I love notes! I’ll take them anywhere and everywhere but I love using a free printable to do list I found on A Pair of Pears http://www.apairofpears.com/2011/11/for-taking-to-do-list.html colorful pens and markers make it even more up my alley.
Becky says
PILOT ME! I always keep a small notebook and a black ball point pen nearby (usually a Pilot one, i love how easily they glide and make my handwriting look better than it really is).
Megan McC says
PILOT ME! I always carry a handful of Pilot G-2 05’s in my bag and am very territorial about them in the office!
Rachel says
PILOT ME!
I love a certain fine point pen and I have one everywhere for whenever I need to write something – at work, in my purse, at home, by my bed.
Kate says
Pilot me!
Lists. many, many, lists.
Leah says
I want to go to there. Pilot Me

Pilot me!! I use the notes app in my phone almost exclusively. If I don’t write things down I will never remember them!

PIlot me! I *love* pens! We had almost an entire lecture in grad school about pens. It was fascinating. Anyway, I like making lists, because I like the satisfaction of crossing off accomplished items.:)
Jacque says
Pilot me!! I’m a fan of the fine gel pens! Just got myself some Tul pens in my stocking that I love! And I carry some kind of a notebook with me everywhere I go! You never know when the best ideas will strike.
Laurie says
PILOT ME! I love Pilot and use their pens in a cheap 89 cent comp book that I bought … at Target :)
My calender is completely electronic (so I can subscribe to my hubby’s and vice versa), but my many lists, like Sherry I’m notorious for them, are all on paper. In a multitude of colors of ink.
Stephanie says
Pilot me!! I keep a pen in the spirals on my planner inside my purse at all times. I am interim director at my job now so I use it all the time!!
Haley says
PILOT ME! My favorite wat to keep notes is by writing them every which way and doodling in between! My professors hate checking my notes, but this will really come in handy for the start of a new semester!
Karen F says
pilot me!
I’m a list girl. I keep my calendar online, but everything else gets written down in a notebook, with a pen.
rachel says
PILOT ME!!
i love to write with something that’s fine point..preferably a ball point pen :)
Cortney D says
PILOT ME!
I am a pen and paper girl for notes, and I always use Sharpies (I know, I know, not a Pilot brand) to cross off my lists. But for drawing, always pencils to start. So really, I’m a total writing utensil junkie. Awesome giveaway!
BrandyU says
PILOT ME! I’m a pencil list-writing person because my lists are always evolving I need to be able to erase.
Michelle says
Pilot me! Love me some Pilot G-2’s for list making and filling out forms. ;)
Chelsea says
Pilot Me! I have an office supply obsession and my favorite thing is colored pens. The calendar is color-coded, notes are cheery and colorful. I don’t share with my family. It’s a sickness, really.
Samantha says
PILOT ME
I have my beautiful Erin condren agenda that I love to write in! I use different colors for different classes so I can read it easier. That’s when I actually write stuff down…which should be more often
Meghan says
Pilot Me!!
Ashley says
PILOT ME!
I do the pen and paper thing, but am trying to use my phone more and more to eliminate the many notes that I always forget to take with me.
Bridget says
PILOT ME! I have a pink pen that I use for everything(I’m a school teacher). It is by far my favorite thing to use!
Megan says
Pilot me! My favorite way to jot down notes is to email myself. I have a computer or tablet with me the vast majority of the time so it works well for me.
Erin says
PILOT ME! We are a pilot g2 family here! My hubby’s a teacher and prefers the minis. I like the regular size g2’s because they’re not as easily lost. These days most of my note taking though is done with crayons thanks to the tons that we have on hand for our 3 year old. I also use the note app on my iPhone if it’s something I want to make sure doesn’t get lost.
Deb says
PILOT ME!!! I like writing with a blue pen! That way I can tell if it is the original or not! Crazy, but it works!
Carrie says
PILOT ME!
I’m addicted to post it notes. Is there a support group?

“PILOT ME!”
I love writing with the fine tip pens.. I think they make my handwriting prettier!

pilot me! trained as an architects, i swear by my moleskin notebooks. i take them everywhere!
Justynn Y says
PILOT ME!! glad i guessed correctly last week :)
I’m working on getting my hour more organized as we speak. this would be wonderful!
I’m also a huge pen snob, can’t help it. I love the little Micron Pens, Sharpies and medium tips. And those Drug pens from doctors offices are fantastic!
