Fab Freebie: This Is Your Pilot Writing

***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.

Pilot Pen Giveaway

  • 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 love to write lists and carry a notebook most of the time to do so. The reminder apps are good for when I really need to remember something at a certain time, though.

    PILOT ME! I’m a real pen and paper girl! I have twin baby boys and have so much going on with lists being made constantly, for them, my family and myself. Pilot is one of my favorite pen brands and Target is a must go to on the shopping lists!

    I usually used the stickies on my mac book so they’re constantly in view when I’m on the computer…

    I’m a student so I usually have a pen stashed somewhere to jot down notes and reminders, I don’t rely on technology because it is not reliable! I also love stationary, it’s pretty dorky, but I’m okay with it :)

    I always have a pen in my purse, my car, on my kitchen counter, on my side table, on my desk. Basically, anywhere I think I might look for a pen I keep a pen. And if I can’t find a pen I just use the notes on my phone. :) Haha!

    PILOT ME! I keep a pile of scrap paper on my computer desk to jot notes on and will transfer the info over to a more permanent binder when I have time. I like my notes to be neat and when you are on the phone jotting down into, can’t always be neat. That’s why I use scrap paper first. I love my Pilot products, but I keep those for other than note taking. Just use the advertising pens for around the house, won’t cry if they get lost or the kitties steal them.

    PILOT ME! I have an ink pen behind my ear at all times during the day at work. Sometimes I forget it is there and try to put a second pen behind my ear! LOL. I’m addicted to highlighters and post-its, too.

    PILOT ME!! I take notes with all the means mentioned, but our 4-year-old daughter, who loves to doodle and draw, is always taking our pens so we NEVER know where they are! This would hopefully put an end to that! Haha!

    Pilot me! I love to write on paper and keep it digital. I am a list-maniac! Have you used Trello? I HIGHLY recommend! Perfect for project management.

    PILOT ME! I use pens, and try to keep a book of notes and projects for each year. I’m still looking for the 2013 one though…

    I am a huge Pilot fan actually…I’ve used blue Pilot pens (v5 or v7) since middle school – a habit inherited from my French teacher.

    PILOT ME!!!! I love using a nice pen for listing making. There’s just something about a good ballpoint pen, amiright?

    PILOT ME! I like a pen for keeping in my purse because that little notebook has a rough life and I feel like pencil would rub off. I really love writing in ink even though I used to hate it. Now I only use a pencil if I’m doing something very temporary. I am definitely a paper person all the way. I got a really nice desk calendar and pocket calendar for Christmas and I’m trying to decide the best use of both.

    My husband and I are always prepared with pens – for him, a smooth-writing black pen in his pocket and for me a four color pen in my purse. Although many things have gone digital, I still can’t replace a paper yearly planner in my purse with color-coded entries. :)

    PILOT ME! I hate using pencils and always opt for an ultra fine point in blue. And I love levenger. Even in this digital age, I use their address book.

    I’ll write with whatever pen I can find, b/c I still chew on the ends and break pens, therefore can never find a functioning one…
