***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…

Colleen says
PILOT ME!
Love a smooth writing, (gel) easy-flow pen and sticky notes. Otherwise, it’s the Notes section of my iphone.
Thanks for the opp!
Emily Callejo says
Pilot Me! I love using the cheapest BLUE pilot pens to jot down notes. I usually pick up a cheap, cute, quirky notebook to toss in my purse and use it until every page is full. My four year old usually uses up the bulk of the pages, calling it a “handy dandy notebook” a la Blue’s Clues.
Holly V. says
PILOT ME! I keep everything written on a desk calendar so that everything is always in one place!
Cara Nielsen says
PILOT ME! I love to write, but my writing utensils, much like my notebooks, have personalities of their own and I like to get to know them all. My favorites might be an assorted collection of hotel pens!
Angela says
PILOT ME!

Carrie E says
PILOT ME!
I love pencil and paper, but lately make tons of notes on my iPhone.
misa says
pilot me!
i use my favorite pilot g-2 07 gel pens in blue and i always keep a notebook with me throughout my work day (the notebook is actually really disorderly and i constantly have to flip back through pages to find things i’ve written down).
Meagan Ramsey says
PILOT ME!
I used to write only with mechanical pencils, but then my husband converted me. Now I only write with black rollerball pens–usually pilots!
Danielle says
PILOT ME!
Always a ballpoint pen, always black, and always on random scraps of paper that I lose! I could realllly use a good notebook/planner…
Susan Martin says
PILOT ME! I literally always have a Pilot G-2 pen with me at all times. I buy them in bulk and have them in my purse, the car, the kitchen, the desk, etc. Unfortunately they are such awesome pens that my kids discovered them and now they go missing quite often. Solution – Santa brought them each their own box!
Kerry says
PILOT ME!
I am a pen to planner kind of girl. There’s no greater satisfaction than crossing something off my to do list!
Jennifer willis says
pilot me! I write down to do lists all the time! I usually misplace them though!

PILOT ME!
Def old school girl…. Love pen& paper. I feel so accomplished crossing stuff off. Sometimes I write it down just to immediately cross it off :-)
Kelly says
PiLOT ME!!!!
So guilty of never being able to find a pen (where do they run to?) and having to text myself reminders! Would love some organization!!
Sarah S says
PILOT ME!
I am a pen hoarder, and may I say quite a connoisseur. My all time favorite pen is the pilot hi-tec-c that I order from Hong Kong. Yep, I’m kinda weird like that!
suzanne says
PILOT ME! I love a mechanical pencil but when i take my 92 year old uncle out anywhere and he has to sign something, he examines every pen he comes across and will pocket the ones he likes… his favorites are the ones at the local greek cafe.
Sarah LeBoeuf says
Pilot me! I love making lists and drawing a check box next to each item—a real sense of accomplishment to make the tiny mark that fills that box!
Katy says
Pilot me!
I’m with you guys. My favorite pen for planners, lists, notes, grading papers, EVERYTHING are Pilot G-2s. They are comfortable to hold, have a nicely-sized point, and come in awesome colors. :) I love them! My 3rd grade students appreciate all the colors, too.
Maija says
Pilot Me! I stole a fancy pen from my husband and stash it in my purse.
Christy says
Pilot me! I love roller ball pens. I have whole cup full of different colored roller ball pens on my desk at work.
Dymphi says
PILOT ME !
I have a few ballpoint pens in my purse. Lists on scrap paper work great,
a good pen is always welcome!
Katie P says
PILOT ME!
And then please pick me!!! I’m a teacher and totally need new pens! I take notes ALL. DAY. on kids’ papers, in my calendar, on the backs of envelopes… I swear I will never be one of those people that’s all digital. I need to feel the sweep of the pens across the paper :)
Krista says
Pilot Me…. I always have a pen and small tablet with me. I can’t get myself to use the notes app on my iPhone.
Janette says
PILOT ME! Hubby and I both journal in ink. Hubby even journals on the notepad in his Levenger wallet.
Rachel C says
PILOT ME!!
I don’t care as much about the writing utensil, but I swear by Post-It’s.
Linda says
PILOT ME! Give me paper and pen over digital, but I want good paper and a really good ballpoint pen; must be a good pen!
Rebecca says
PILOT ME!
Pen and paper all the way!
Jackie says
PIlot me!
I prefer paper and pen or pencil. I think a black pen is best, but really I’ll grab just about anything. I’m big on lists and I like my lists big- so I keep a stack of plain white printer-size paper in our kitchen for my list sprees.
My husband is the sort who likes everything in one digital device, so he tried to convince me to keep lists, journals, etc. on an iPhone. I couldn’t do it. I just love to write and scribble.
Adrienne says
PILOT ME!! I always have a pen and notebook in my purse.
Katherine says
PILOT ME!
I’m a teacher and have stacks of post its and thin tip markers/pens all over the room because I’m constantly noting things!
Lindsey says
Pilot me!! I’m such a pen snob – gel Pilots please, please!
HelenBoston says
PILOT ME!
I make lists everywhere in the house and then always forget them at home when I go grocery shopping… :-)
Katelyn says
PILOT ME!
Using the Pilot V5 right now and love it!
Katy says
Pilot me!
I write notes on any random scrap of paper and them promptly lose it.
Erin says
Pilot me! Ballpoint all the way – can’t stand gel pens. But I do prefer pencil when doing mathy stuff :)
Anna says
Pilot me!
I am obsessed with pilot pens. I can’t start my workday until I find one. Someone always steals them after I leave for the day. I am a big list maker so I always have a notepad and pen with me at all times.
Alison U. says
PILOT ME! I’m a picky pen girl! I love a fun color and usually have 2 or 3 around.

Jasmin S. says
Pilot me!
I love writing with pen and paper but I can never seem to find both of those things at the same time so I end up doing ‘notes’ on my phone.
Cathryn says
PILOT ME! I love to make a great “to-do-list”, and I especially love it when I have at least a few pen colors to choose from.
Sarah B says
PILOT ME!
I always keep a pen nearby. I like making notes on the back of used envelopes.
Libby says
I am obsessed with planning things…grocery lists, Target lists, to-do lists, so I am always taking notes. I use pen and paper and my phone.
Deanna says
PILOT ME!
I dig storing pens in our “junk drawer” but it always seems that right when I need one, they’re always missing. So I usually end up flipping open my laptop and typing up my notes.
Katherine says
Pilot Me! I’m a law student so I always have highlighters and paper on me so usually I have extremely brightly colored lists!
Ann says
Pilot me!
I use my phone to make lists.
Megan says
PILOT ME! I love my Pilot Dr. Grip Gel Pen. I’ve had it for over ten years! It’s still my favorite pen!
Cassie Dearborn says
Pilot Me!
Anything with a date goes in my google calander… But the engineer in me requires a mechanical pencil with my notebook.
Trish T. says
PILOT ME!
It has to be a fine point pen and the paper must be graph paper. Not sure why, but this is imperative.
Matt says
Pilot me! I’m a digital dude.
