***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 don’t know if you remember that awesome little notebook/accordion file thingy you guys bought from Target a million years ago but I fell in love and looked for one for well over a year each time I went to a Target. I FINALLY found one a couple of weeks ago and it is my favorite way to take notes!

PILOT ME! I used to do the scrap paper thing….then I had an ah-ha! Now I keep a small notebook with me to jot things down. I make sure to date the pages so I can look back, if needed. Smart phones are super-convenient, I just like that good old-fashioned pen and paper feeling!
taysha riggs says
PILOT ME!
I am part digital part old skool. Long lists of varying to-dos I keep on my phone that I sync with my tablet BUT I always keep a mini notepad and pen in my purse for when I just need to think and scribble. I write faster than I type :-P
Sue says
PILOT ME!

PILOT ME!
I prefer pen and post-its. My favorite pen, which I carry in my handbag (and won’t let others borrow) is actually the Pilot Zebra.

Pilot Me
My friends make fun of me because I prefer using an old paper planner instead of using electronics like everyone else. But there is no replacement for the old pen and paper.

Lindsey says
PILOT ME! I still keep a handwritten organizer. I like the feel and look of it. Maybe it is my 90s upbringing. I also take notes on a notepad from phone calls from the office etc and LOVE scratching off things to do on a “hard” to-do list.

Joyce says
PILOT ME!! My favorite way to write is with an old school fountain pen, but I basically love all writing instruments. I think it is actually a genetic thing in my family…my mother always had a slew of pens in her purse and my daughter does the same thing. For grocery lists, I use a template I print from the computer…but I fill it out in pencil, erase the marks after using it, and reuse it as many times ad possible.
Holly says
Pilot me!
Mechanical pencils for the win!
Jessica says
I have an iPhone but prefer to make lists with good old pen and paper!

PILOT ME!!!!
