***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 used to carry around a planner / wallet with me but got tired of the weight on my shoulders. Now I use my iPhone’s regular calendar to keep track of everything. Sometimes I will write myself little sticky notes and tape them to my phone or put in my wallet for future use, but it really is convenient to just use my phone for every type of list.
Hemma says
“PILOT ME!”
I lohohohooove pens! Would be thrilled to get this package.
Writing lists and lists and lists every day at the moment b/o house remodel! Could really use this gift.

PILOT ME! I love inky ballpoints. I use Google Tasks and Google Calendar to keep myself organized mostly, but I always keep a little notebook in my purse for me to jot down notes and lists.
Christy Grap says
PILOT ME! I love pen and paper, but there is something about a newly sharpened pencil I can’t resist.

I am a list writer. I have a pad of paper on my fridge, a huge chalkboard in the kitchen and pens everywhere.

Even with my handy i phone, fun colored pens are my favorite way to jot something down!

Kat says
PILOT ME!
I’m loving the Pilot G-2 07 pens in black and blue. If I’m out on the go I’ll usually use my notes app on my phone but that will stop once I finally get a little notebook to keep in my purse.
Ashleigh says
Pilot Me! I use whatever is at hand be it pencil, pen, or eye liner
Angie Womble says
Pilot Me!
I am a teacher, so I am obsessed with writing supplies!
Beth says
Pilot me! Pretty please! I am a pen snob for sure. I carry a Pilot G2 (05) in my purse all the time. My handwriting just looks better when I use it. :)
Brandy says
Pilot Me!
It depends on if I can locate a pen and paper. If not, I use iPhone notes.

PILOT ME
Love to use pilot pens, used it when I used to live in Japan.
kristen says
PILOT ME! i have my planner with me 99% of the time, so i whip that out and write notes with a pen. or, better yet, a SHARPIE!
Candy H says
Pilot me!
I’m particular about pens/pencils. Pens have to have a fine point and a pencil has to be sharp! Lists are either written on sticky notes or on the notes section of my phone.
Laura Larson says
Pilot me!
I’m for sure a pen person, they write so much cleaner. I tried going digital, but there is just something about crossing off a list with a pen.
Nikki says
PILOT ME!!
I tend to use whatever is at hand but do appreciate a good writing utensil :-) I adore planners and keeping organized is my dream!

Pilot me!!
I love me a skinny sharpie or marker pen.

Becky L says
Pilot Me!!!
Mary says
PILOT me! A good pen makes me so happy. Ink color, tip style, type of grip are critical! Each morning, I consciously select a pen that I want to use that day. I joke with my friends that a good pen can make my day. I’m obsessed. You should see my pen drawer at work. It’a practically an illness. I admit it!
Stevie says
Pilot me! Please. :)
If I’m in class or preparing to run errands, I make a physical list so I can cross it all off, generally with a pencil. If I’m out and about, I text myself reminders because I don’t carry anything but my phone, wristlet, and keys with me. :)
Thanks!
Erin says
PILOT ME!
post its – all the time! I find them all over my purse, wallet, counter … everywhere!

sydney says
Pilot me!
Morgan Myers says
PILOT ME!!
I love the Pilot G-2 pens, I can’t write with anything else. I love to scribble things down on random scraps of paper. I’m trying to be better, and use my planner, so we’ll see how that goes!
Shelby Cash says
PILOT ME!
I love a good pen! You know a big fat one with a good drip that write oh so smooth and doesnt shed the occasional ink blot when I am taking notes to fast. A good pen is hard to come by. But when I fing one I like I hang on to that baby!
Joanne B. says
Oh Please PILOT me? i used to have such nice handwriting and since I have gotten older my handwriting has gotten…well- old lady like! I think I need a pen or marker that grips the paper and does not slide too easily. problem is, I haven’t found one yet but with this nice give away I am sure to find THE PERFECT instrument for me and sure have a blast trying ! The Target and Levenger’s part is also sweet! Thanks for this chance!
Rachel says
Pilot me!
I’m all about the pen in the purse and my trusty Moleskine notebook.
Charissa says
PILOT ME!
I use a mix of writing things down and keeping a digital list. It’s so satisfactory to physically cross things off, but a digital list is usually more convenient because I can move things around and reorder them.
Barb says
Pilot Me!! Lists, post-its, sudoku puzzles, on and on it goes. And getting organized is a daily goal. So please, PILOT ME soon and often!
Colleen N says
PILOT ME!!! Gel pens and mechanical pencils are the best!
mitchypoo says
PILOT ME! I prefer fine gel pens or writing instruments and sometimes I need a pencil, while making lists or doing math, especially for doing math! I also love the act of actually writing things down, like journalling, it’s therapeutic.
Beth says
PILOT ME!!!!! I have just recently been trying to improve my cursive writing skills. So all my little scribbles are in cursive. Sometimes it takes forever to write the smallest thing down cause I forget how that capital Q is formed or some other letters as well. But I have improved. :)
Becky says
PILOT ME! I love making lists, and using good pens. I used to have them everywhere, but since I have a very active and artistic 2 yr old, I have to keep all writing utensils on a very high shelf!
Kristin says
PILOT ME!
Holy cow I love Pilot, Levenger and Target! Lately for work I’ve been using a Livescribe pen and syncing to Evernote, but man do I love a good Pilot for memory-keeping and card-making/writing. :)
Kiersten says
Pilot me!
I’m always making lists and notes with pen on anything! Notebooks, post-its, envelopes.
Katie says
Pilot Me! I write on envelope from the mail because they are usually on the island & handy. As fat as writing utensil…anything I can find.
Susanna says
PILOT ME! I take copious notes…it helps me focus…and then go back and rewrite the important stuff later.
Melissa Mann says
PILOT ME! I scribble on post it notes and leave honey to do lists on the fridge for my husband.
Melissa Greene says
Pilot Me!
I will write with whatever I have on hand, but I have certain pens I prefer! I LOVE color over black/blue/red, if at all possible.
