***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’m always looking for pens to write with. They have a way of “walking away” from where I am working.
Heather Stansell says
Pilot me…I like to write things down on a calendar!!
dawn says
Pilot me!
I love Pilot pens. All my school work was done using the Pilot G7, until one fine day, a blue version leaked all over my school bag… I still love them, but I’m much more careful about checking them for cracked barrels these days.
And I’m a big fan of Levenger pens! Love their fountain pens and ink!
Wendy M. says
PILOT ME!
…I picked up a pack of those multicolored Sharpie pens and now I can NOT stop using them! Plus I’m a huge list-maker, and I’ve been keeping up with my planner lately, so… needless to say, my planner is now filled with multi-colored lists. At least it’s cheerful!
Sarah says
PILOT ME….
Lately I’ve been really into mechanical pencils to take my notes in my planner. Although, I do love a good pen, but if it ‘poops’ out ink throughout my list, I toss it. I can’t stand to have a poopy pen.
Grace @ sense and simplicity says
Pilot me! I use whatever is near by, but prefer a black ballpoint pen.
Lori G says
Pilot Me!
Lori G says
I always keep a pen in my purse. Usually it’s a Kimpton pen, which puts a smile on my face when I use it…reminds me of our travels!
Terri says
PILOT ME! My husband thinks I’m crazy for having a favorite pen. I’m so happy to know that I’m not alone! I also love to write with a freshly sharpened pencil.
Cassie Zimmerman says
PILOT ME!
Nothing is better than a good pen and a post it… or a yellow legal pad. Though I’ll use crayons and the backs of receipts in a pinch. :)
Staci H says
PILOT ME!!!
I love doodling with a gel-ink pen on blank paper, no lines. And I LOVE big pages. Something about my hand crossing the page feels so good. Even if my writing lines are crooked, doesn’t matter because it isn’t confined.
Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!
Zero34 says
PILOT ME! ironically, my favorite types of pen are the Pilot Razor Point II, great for sketching, yet allows a good amount of detail. reliable, but for some reason, hellish to find!
as for new mediums, my ipad helps in notes/sketching :/ is pilot going to make a Pilot Stylus for ipad?!? hahaha
Lena says

Becky says
PILOT ME!
As much as I love a good old-fashioned hand written to-do list, I have to defer to technology a lot these days, because without an audible/visible alarm popping up, I will probably still forget to do some things!
Jennifer says
Pilot me! I love writing with ultra-fine sharpies. For some reason my handwriting is always better when I use these!
Rachel says
PILOT ME! I love to use pencils. I’m just an old school hipster I guess! But I never seem to use the eraser, I just scribble.
Julianne says
Pilot me!

PILOT ME!
I love paper and pen for journals but the day to day goes on my phone.

Pilot Me!! I’m what you might call…I pen snob. I mean seriously is there anything worse than writing with a bad pen?! Fresh new pens make me OH SO HAPPY!
emily says
PILOT ME!
I have my trusty notebook that follows me around the office, and need a good pen to accompany it :)
Margo says
I use pens and pencils all the time. Keep them around the house, in the car and in my purse. I can write grocery lists and play my sudoku puzzles. Sometimes when I feel like living on the edge I complete my sudoku puzzles in pen! LOL Thanks for sharing such a generous giveaway.
Margo says
Pilot Me! Meant to add to original comment.
Rebecca S says
PILOT ME! I am transitioning over to mostly digital for everything, but since we are a homeschooling family we could totally use these!
Katherine W. says
PILOT ME!!!

Mini notebook and mechanical pencil…..hand writing is much more legible with a tiny pencil!
Cheri says
Pilot Me!
I love pens and paper (and walking down the office supply aisle is my idea of a good time). There is something so satisfying about making a list and crossing things off one by one.
Alana says
PILOT ME! I am very anal about my pens and pencils. I must take notes in a notebook (wide ruled) with my favorite pencil.

Pilot me! I like a good old fashioned list, but I’ve made my way to digital because of my iPhone.

In the piano studio, it’s strictly pencils, but everywhere else I prefer a nice fine tip pen.

Pilot me! I’m an elementary school teacher and always have a variety of writing utensils in coat pockets, purse pockets, and kitchen drawers.

PILOT ME! I always keep a couple of pens in my purse along with a notebook – I like to take notes the old fashioned way and I love having everything corralled in one place.
SaraK says
PILOT ME!
My favorite way to take notes is with a pen and notepad or post-it. I’ve tried to be a digital girl, but it’s just not the same. My purse has two pens and one pencil pretty much all the time, unless my hubby “borrows” one. :-)
