***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 always have a notebook and pen handy, well, I try to keep them handy when my toddler isn’t stealing them for her art masterpieces!
Kristen says
PILOT ME!
I keep a mini dry-erase by the fridge for grocery reminders, then take a picture of it before I head to the store. Digital AND analog. Boom!
JB says
Pilot me!
If I really need to remember something I find it works best to write it on my hand.
Mrs. W says
Pilot me!
I am a personal fan of the Pilot G-2 05 pens. I am a ‘on paper’ gal and like seeing my list written out (usually on the back of a used envelope). It’s all about the satisfaction of crossing it out for me. I keep a bound notebook and aforementioned pen with me at all times. I never know when the urge to journal will strike.
Shannon says
PILOT ME!
ball point superfine blue ink is my favorite! Though I also like to take notes using a stylus on my iPad, I always resort back to my post-its and pens.

I prefer gel pens for general note taking. The Pilot G2, actually.

“PILOT ME” I am a constant note-taker and list-maker. My notes and lists are everywhere!

I have a favorite pen. It has bite marks because my dog got ahold of it, but I’ll be so sad when it runs out of ink. All the more reason to get some replacements!

Kathy says
“PILOT ME!” I still write lists. I need to see them all the time and then cross off what I have done. I keep pens everywhere and in every room including my bathroom. As I am getting ready for bed, I write down things I need to remember for the next day.

Though I work in a tech company, most people carry bound notebooks and pens to meetings to take notes.
Kelley says
PILOT ME!
I’m trying to get better with digital notes, but I still prefer putting paper to pen. Pencils actually seem to give me the best handwriting — something about the friction I think. My sister loves those Pilot Precise rolling ball pens – I’d love to win her a lifetime supply! ha!
Lori says
Pilot Me! I resort to good ‘ol pen and paper – sometimes sticky notes if I’m feeling crazy!

PILOT ME!!

Still love the feel of a crispy sharpened pencil, though!!
Kim says
Pilot me!! Always a pen! Working in healthcare, I always Have to have a stockpile of black ink, ballpoint pens!

I take notes the old fashioned way on sticky notes. I end up having a bunch of sticky notes at work everywhere and then have to decifer what the notes mean.
Casey says
PILOT ME!!!
I have used the PILOT G-2 for years! Next to my lap top, I keep a notepad with three headers to keep me organized (CALL, DO, GO). At the beginning of each week I list out phone calls I need to make, tasks I need to do, and places I need to go. I love using my PILOT to check my list off!
Molly says

Michelle says
Pilot Me!
I usually keep about 5 pens in my purse for just in case moments. And I usually have a lot of those moments. And even though some people rely on their phone for notes, there is something about physically writing it down that helps it stick in my brain better!
Nathan says
PILOT ME!
I already liked y’all, but you just went way up in my book. I only use pilot pens and all my friends make fun of me for it.
