***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…

I love, love, love the Pilot Precise P-700 and have been writing with it for years! I fear they will stop making it which would be tragic because it is such a good, realiable pen. I swear, it makes my handwriting legible!
thanks you guys
Kristen says
PILOT ME!
My favorite writing utensils happen to be pencils. Maybe that’s because I’m an accountant? :)

Pilot me!
I use notebooks and gel pens or mechanical pencils to jot notes.

Alison Sutter says
PILOT ME! I’m typically a pen and scratch paper kind of girl. But I’m finding that using my iPad and phone keeps everything neater. By I love crossing something off a list!
Zauna says
PILOT ME!
I always have a good pen and a zillion little post-its at my disposal.
Camilla Moss says
PILOT ME! I admit to being high maintenance in the “pen area.” It has to be just right. Still take notes on a notepad in my purse and hunt people down who take my pen! :)
Vanessa L says
PILOT ME! I’m partial to lists by hand, but I do use the out of milk app so my husband and I can share lists.
Nicki Parrish says
Pilot Me! When I am at work, I use a notepad and a pen to write notes on. After I have addressed that particular note, I just mark it out. It saves using several different post it notes, and everything is right where I can find it if I need to look back at something.
Sheri says
PILOT ME!
Pencils at work; pens at home. I don’t know why. It’s always been like that.
Becky says
Pilot me….post it notes make me happy!

PILOT ME!
I’m a total pen and paper snob all the way. These crazy make-a-list-and-simplify-your-life apps with all these techy devices end up complicating my life!

Nikki B. says
Pilot me!
I am a “pen that I long term borrowed from church” and post it gal. I don’t mean to keep taking them home, but somehow I have a zillion pens from our church in my purse.
Crystal says
PILOT ME! I write everything down. I am definitely a pen girl. I always joke how embarrassed I would be if anything ever happened to me because my family would find all my lists. I have about a hundred notebooks I jot things down in and I am guilty of adding items to my to do list that I have already done just so I get the satisfaction of crossing it off……….I may be nuts
ellis says
Pilot me!
I’m now a Papermate Flair girl, but was previously (and in a close second) is the Pilot G2. I always carry around a moleskine journal, which has running tallies of everything from grocery lists to training schedules to resolutions.

PILOT ME! I’m a loyal Pilot Precise V5 pen user. I usually take notes on a legal pad with stars for action items. Then transfer those to my Outlook tasks list for better tracking.
Stephanie says
PILOT ME!
I take notes with pen usually, but if there’s something I absolutely must remember, I send myself an email about it. I love Pilot’s 0.38 pens and actually have had multiple conversations with others about how great they are.

Pilot me!
I have a spiral notebook and ballpoint pen that I’m constantly scribbling in.
