***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…

(plus a target gift card doesn’t sound too awful either!)
Kaet99 says
Please…please….please: PILOT ME!
As a teacher, and an English one at that, the notes are endless and the tools diverse. I loves me my post its and notebooks and iPad and iPod and markers and fine-tipped-ballpoint red pens and my multi-colored gel pens. I cannot get enough of office supplies, making grading endless piles of essays…I mean…*teaching* the ideal career for me!
Jen says
Pilot me! I’m picky about pens too, being a lefty, but love pen n paper!
Adina says
Pilot me!!
I’m so particular about my pens and these are my favorite!!!
Jenny Sparks says
PILOT ME!
I am OCD when it comes to organization (big or small). I have a plethora of planners, notebooks, apps, etc. that I use for to-do lists, grocery lists, budgets, etc! I always keep a pencil for my work to-do list and a pen handy for my personal lists. Apps come in handy for grocery lists and personal lists as well. And I’m corny because I get excited to organize any room in my house, multiple times a year!
Kat says
PILOT ME!
For my own notes I mostly use my cellphone or tablet, but when it comes to work I have to carry a notepad and my pens are always getting stolen!
Laura says
PILOT ME!
I’m all about the colored pens. DH has to get them for me in my stocking every year. My favorite is orange, but I switch to green and red depending on the season, with purple as a back up. Pink just goes to waste. I still write my to do list every week. Feels great to physically cross something off.
Debra says
Pilot Me! I love a good pen.
Samantha says
PILOT ME! Pen, always pen and any scrap of paper that can be scrounged up!
Kelly says
PILOT ME!
Man, do I love crossing things off a to-do list. So much so that I make extra lists to cross stuff off! Sometimes, though, I rely on my phone to get by in a pinch.
Anna says
PILOT ME! I love jotting notes onto post-it notes with a gel ink pen and then sticking them to my computer. If I’m not at a computer, I always have a pen in my purse — usually a mini-travel pen.
Elizabeth P says
Pilot me!
When working I was all digital, but now as a stay at home mom I’ve found not being tied to my phone or computer all day meant it wasn’t as effective. I’ve turned to pen and paper – color coordinated of course!
Cindy says
I am super picky about pens and pencils. I write with two fingers on top and the right size pen is key! I also love mechanical pencils…
Claudia says
PILOT ME!
I take the pens from my hotel rooms so when I lose them I’m not upset. The back of old business cards are the perfect place to write notes and lists for the day.
Gail says
PILOT ME!
I take notes digitally in Evernote, but I write plenty of stuff down using pilot pencils. I have a particular kind that I keep on hand at ALL times!
Alina says
PILOT ME!!!

Pilot me!!
I always keep a pen (or pens) in my purse

Laura says
Pilot me! I always have pens with me and I go through TONS of post-it notes.

PILOT ME!!
Must have a ballpoint pen and mini notebook with me at all times!!
Care says
Pilot Me!!
I use one of 2 things for notes – either my Pilot G-2 pen ( in blue only, really – those are the only pens I use!) or the “notes” feature on my iPhone. I have one labeled “groceries” that I use every time I go to the store. I type out what I want ahead and time so I won’t forget anything.
Kelsey says
PILOT ME! I always have a pen on my person or in my purse. I’m a major list maker and love using a good pen.
Emma says
Pilot Me! I’ve been trying to keep track of everything with my phone or iPad more, but a good list with a pen and paper still works just as well!
Julie says
PILOT ME!!!
I always have a pen (or 3) in my purse, but I love to enter things on my phone calendar too. There’s nothing like my phone yelling at me that I’m going to be late for something!
Erin says
Pilot Me! I use both pen and paper and digital…whatever is handy!
DianaP says
PILOT ME!
I use a pencil and recycled paper notes I make myself. Lately I’ve been using my phone and I kinda like that.
Jenny says
Pilot me! I love pens – back to school shopping is my favorite time of years and I have not been in school for a looong time.
Ann says
Pilot me! I use pens all the time for my editing work, and a nice pencil is a gem. My husband is almost 100% digital and calls a pen an “analog stylus”!
Amy says
Pilot me!
I am mostly digital these days but I love me a good pen!
Adam G. says
Pilot Me! My phone is all I need to jot things down.

PILOT ME! I use cheap pens…and could not live without post-its!
Rhonda says
Pilot me! I use all three. At school I use a pencil. At home I use a pen, and I do a lot of notes on my Iphone.
Katie says
“PILOT ME!”
Everyone knows they can come to me for a pencil or pen. I carry in my purse 2 sharpies (one thin, one thick), 4 pens (mostly pilot G-2 07s) and 4 BIC mechanical pencils. I hate not having a pen when I need one, so I come prepared!
Does anyone else write notes on the back of their hand? I do!
