***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!
Only use Pilot pens. Either the G-2 in 07 or 05 and only in black. Wow that makes me sound like a huge snob. What can I say? I like what I like.
Kerry Shanahan says
PILOT ME! As a waitress and student, I constantly have pens on me. I love a smooth writing clicky pen for doing school work or taking orders, but Sharpie pens are my fave for sketching. Usually I do my journaling in Moleskine notebooks! They’re fabulous!
Anne Gore says
PILOT ME!
I am a journal junkie who jots notes down in multiple journals and notebooks. I love pilot pens, by the way!
Sandy Rizzardo says
Pilot ME. I love bold writing pens and sharpies
Erin says
ohsweetbabyjesus PILOT ME!
I became addicted to Pilot pens when I started my first real job out of college. Our office manager would only let you order 1-2 pens at a time (really Eleanor?) so I would covet these whenever she was feeling particularly generous with the office supplies.
Annalea says
P.S.) Just for fun, I pinned some pics of how I take notes, and tagged Sherry. I wonder if anyone else wants to play? :o)

Emily says
PILOT ME!
I’m and architect, and therefore can be pretty picky about my pens. I LURVE the Pilot Razorpoint and I get super excited when its time to hit the supply room at work for a new one. Nerd much? I make a ton of lists both on paper and on my phone.
kate says
Pilot me!
Pen and notepad…almost always.
Kathryn says
Pilot me!!! As a student, I still write everything down in my notebooks :)
Morgan says
PILOT ME!
And these days I do almost all of my writing digitally, with the exception of our grocery list on our fridge.
kim says
PILOT ME!
I keep a ballpoint pen and a small notebook in the diaper bag (which doubles as my purse) at all times. It’s the keeper of my to-do lists, grocery lists, things to remember, etc… I’d be a goner without it.
Hillary says
PILOT ME! I love lists. And pens. And special notebooks to put the lists in and use the pens on.
Phil says
Pilot me!
I love to try new pens–or I’ll stick with the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil.
Cherri says
PILOT ME!!!
I have specific pens I write with, just because I like how they turn my sloppy handwriting into only somewhat sloppy handwriting :)
Tara Thomas says
Pilot me :)
I write my grocery list on paper with whatever is laying around. I cringe at the thought of having my grocery list on my phone and dropping the phone in the store! Most everything else is done on the iPhone. Well, some things are also on the bathroom mirror in dry erase!
Kristen says
PILOT ME… I have a huge sketch type notebook (no lines) and I keep it by my desk/bed/couch, where ever…and actually I have to admit I have two… full of random notes, phone numbers, to dos, gift ideas, room measurements, the worst part, my mom bought the notebooks for my five year to color in. but I love them.
Chrissy says
PILOT ME!
Elizabeth says
Pilot me!!
I typically always have a pen and small pack of post-its in my pocket to write down any necessary notes. The phone would probably be smarter, but I like throwing things away when I’m done
Emily says
Pilot me! I write notes in a lot of different ways and in a lot of different places, which doesn’t always help because I don’t remember where I put the note… Strangely,the act of writing it down seems to help me remember what it was, even if I lose the note!
krista f says
PILOT ME!
i love sharpies hehe…and post its…and the back of my hand :)
janetl says
PILOT ME!
I’m a sucker for a purple pen. :)
Shannon says
PILOT ME
I am a list maker and always use a pen. Writing utensils + notebooks=list maker’s dream.
cate says
Pilot Me!!
I love a V5 pilot pen in red! And pen and paper list/calendar is the way for me
Jessica says
PILOT ME! I’ve always got a pen around to write down any deep thoughts that I need not forget haha.
Megan says
Pilot me!
I’m a pen/paper/planner kind of girl. As convenient as it would be to go digital, i just can’t make a list anywhere but paper.
Cindy says
Pilot me!
I can’t survive without a pen (or two!) and notebook in my purse. A sign of a bad memory perhaps, but I say I’m just organized.
Kristin says
PILOT ME…
I am an elementary school teacher and I love gel pens in a multitude of colors for grading and correcting papers :)
Kitty says
PILOT ME PLEASE!
I love Pilot pens – so smooth.
I use pens for personal and mechanical pencils for work (acctg stuff). I also use digital for both.
So a combo of all types, even have used recording notes in the past.
Jamie Anfinson says
Pilot me!!
Jenn F says
Pilot me! Love a nice black pen for taking notes.
Erin says
PILOT ME!
I am a college student and I write all of my notes and lists with pen and paper (better for memory than typing) and I actually only use Pilot pens, the G2 specifically.
Kristina A says
Pilot me! I try to always have a pen on hand but seems like when I need it the most I can’t find one…guess I need to work on handbag organization :)
Alissa says
PILOT ME! I usually email myself and then delete the email when I don’t need the note anymore.
Liz says
PILOT ME!
After tiring of endless scraps of paper, I bought a teensy, adorable notebook, and keep it with a pen in my purse. It’s getting full though, so…
Jennifer B says
Pilot Me! I use anything to write down stuff! Receipts, old bills, whatever!
Mely says
Pilot Me!
I usually send myself an email or scribble a note on my hand if I need to remember something.
karen says
PILOT ME!
Jenni says
PILOT ME! I always have a pen and notebook with me! My friends say it’s my M.O.
Sarah says
PILOT ME!
I always use good mechanical pencils. It’s a habit I picked up in engineering school and never got rid of! I do love to keep a pretty notebook in my purse though.
Brittany says
Pilot Me! I love jotting down packing lists. any time we go camping or on a trip, I write it all down, down to the ketchup!
Mallory says
Pilot me!
I love pilot pens!
Ashley says
Pilot me!
I love using pen and paper. LOVE. I’m serious that one of the perks of having a child is that one day I can take him school supply shopping. I grew up coveting the fancy notebooks, pens and markers that the other kids had – we got the bulk pack of basic notebooks and whatever writing utensils were on sale so to this day, using a notebook and pen that I actually get to pick out myself still feels kind of awesome. Lame but true.
Melissa says
Pilot me!
I do like the write things down – seem to stick in my head better that way. But I am also a fan of making notes on my phone (but that’s usually when I can’t find a pen and paper…).
Amy H says
Pilot Me! I love to make lists the old-fashioned pen and paper way. I have tried digital and it just doesn’t do it for me. Last year for Christmas my husband bought me a variety of pens and notepads- I was so happy :) It’s the little things!
Shannon says
Pilot me! Pilot pens are actually my favorite (the rollerballs). I’m VERY fussy about my pens.
I’m a pen and paper person all the way–I actually find myself reverting MORE to paper from some things I kept track of electronically. There’s just something about the old fashioned way. :)
Jana says
Pilot me!
I’ve never met a pilot pen I didn’t like. I’m not familiar with Levenger, but I’d love to be!
Rebecca says
Pilot me! I love a good fine tip pen and keep lists everywhere! Notebook, post-it, scrap paper, you name it!
Brook says
Pilot me! I’m a paper and pen list making girl.
Kate Stamos says
Pilot Me!!! I love the thin sharpies!
Bailey N. says
PILOT ME!
Pens are the only way to go!
