***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 pen and notebook in my purse. Nothing beats physically crossing off a list!
Christine P. says
PILOT ME!
I’m just as particular as you. Notes and lists are made with a fine point pen (I HATE medium point). Any math that needs to be completed (I’m a math teacher so I do quite a bit) is done with a 0.5mm lead mechanical pencil. I know your thinking NERD!, but what can I say…I know what I like :)

Allison Kulpa says
Pilot me!
I love sticky notes. I have a pretty large collection of various sizes and colors. I also have many pens and highlighters on hand pretty much at all times. And I have a dry erase board and markers (also many different colors!) stuck to the back of my front door to remind me of stuff I will need to do that day.

Rebecca says
Pilot me!
I am a list addict. I have a notebook full of lists from the last few years and I love nothing more than crossing something off my list. I’ll use my pho r in a pinch, but for me nothing is quite as satisfying as the feel of actually writing something down (preferably with a nice pen,wink wink).
Ann says
Pilot me!
Angie says
PILOT ME!

Julie says
PILOT ME! Nothing in the world like wet blank ink streaming across nice thick paper…
Sara says
“PILOT ME!”
For me it’s gotta be a ballpoint pen with, VERY specifically, BLUE ink. Black ink just makes my writing look messy!

Kim N. says
PILOT ME!
I make lists of everything (and I DO mean everything) in my old school moleskin calendar with a pack of bleed-free pens in assorted colors. There’s nothing better than procrastinating by color coding a list of things I wish I liked (caviar, mornings, etc), or funny photos to take with my dog.
kari says
Pilot me! List paper and my iphone notes.

Emily R. says
Pilot me!
I buy my own pens and bring them into the office because I love Pilot Easy Touch pens with a medium point. Additionally, I found amazing erasable Pilot Frixon erasable pens in Japan and then tracked them down here. I love that they are pens but erase completely cleaning only with the own eraser.
