***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…

Miriam says
Pilot me! I’m an inveterate scribbler. I’m always taking down notes on napkins, receipts, straw wrappers… you name it!
Heather J. says
PILOT ME!
I’m trying to be more “paperless” in my work and personal life, but for some reason, physically writing something down with a pen in my hand is very gratifying. Weird, I know.
Katie says
PILOT ME!
I’m a list maker – I make a million lists. All the time. I love bright colored pens/markers. The brighter the better because they’ll be more fun to look at as I cross off my tasks. I sound crazy now that I put that into words.
Kathy B says
Pilot Me! I always had pens on hand until I had little kids….now pencils keep disasters at bay, and pens are relegated to special “high up” places.
Brittany says
PILOT ME!! I love a good pen. When I used to wait tables there were pens I didn’t let customers use because I knew they’d steal them! : )
Lisa says
Pilot me! I can’t function without a notebook and a good pen.
Liz C. says
PILOT ME!
I’m definitely a pen & paper list maker for the grocery store and running errands; I get quite the kick out of crossing things off that list. Makes you feel good! But I usually use the “notes” in the iPhone for random things I think of (I try to keep a running “Christmas gift ideas” list throughout the year).
Amielle says
PILOT ME!
I am a diehard fan of writing things down. Every year I buy my planner and always have 2-3 pens lurking in my purse and normally one in my jacket pockets for ‘just in case’.
Marcy says
Pilot me!
We are pen and paper people at our house. it depends on the note as to what paper but we are very particular about our pens in this house. We happen to love the Pilot G-2s that you show in the upper left corner. We were so excited to find out that they came out in colors now!
Don Marcotte says
PILOT ME!
I always have my ipad handy to take notes, whenever I need.
Sally says
Pilot Me! I’ve attempted to retrain myself to make notes and lists on my iphone -but it hasn’t worked- I love to write and doodle with felt tip pens.
Kim says
PILOT ME!! I use both pens and pencils depending on the situation. Writing letters is always done in pen in different colors and note taking for school is done in pencil. I have a love affair with writing utensils and notebooks so this is an awesome giveaway. I love different color inks and pretty pencils in a holder on my desk melt my heart. I think I would keep a few and then surprise a few of the teachers with some fun treats too!
Crystal says
Pilot me, please! I love a good pen & paper combo. :)
Laura says

When it comes to keeping up with professors, it’s usually computer note-taking. But there is nothing better than diligently written notes to really make you remember the material…especially when written in a Pilot G-2. :)
Betty Johnson says
Pilot Me!! I am still a paper and pen/pencil person. There is something so rewarding at checking off another thing accomplished on the to do list!
Kate says
Pilot me!
I love organization and have tried almost every system I can find. I’m currently loving the Things iphone+computer app. It all syncs in the cloud and I can manage or add to it from either my phone or my laptop.
Ashley F says

I am super old fashioned when it comes to writing. I prefer to carry around a mini notebook and a pen and pencil because I use both.

I use both methods but I still prefer notebooks and the Japanese pen stash I have that is rapidly dwindling.

Pilot me!
Sticky notes all the way
Jenna says
PILOT ME! I am a teacher and absolutely love my pens! I chase people down when they go missing :) I love to write on blank page card stock journals with my gel pens.

I am peculiar about my pens too, being left handed means being picky about what types of pens won’t smear all over the page!

Ruth says
PILOT ME!
I love my pilot easy touch, it’s the one I always grab when I’m at my desk, and there’s a spare one in my purse at all times… Love my iphone, but for quick notes or jotting down rough ideas, it’s all about the pen & paper! (I could use a new work notebook too!)
Cheri says
PILOT ME!

Meghan says
PILOT ME!
