***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 have a collection of Pilot V5 pens…in seemingly every color under the rainbow! I’m in school right now and I’m a visual learner – so writing in different colors helps me a LOT!
Stephanie says
PILOT ME!
I usually use a pen that has been thrown in my purse along with an old receipt for jotting down little notes :)
Stephanie says
PILOT ME!
I enjoy using all types of writing utensils. My two recent faves are Frixion erasable gel pens (made by Pilot) and cheapie styluses to jot notes on my tablet.
Shawn says
PILOT ME!
I prefer a gel pen to an ink one
Shannon says
Pilot Me!!!
Pilot g-2 in black. I always have one on me. I do not like to use other people’s pens. I also have a notebook and a clipboard. I take notes regarding EVERYTHING! Even phone conversations where I need to retain info, if I don’t write it down, it never happened.
Courtney says
PILOT ME!

Kylie says
PILOT ME!
David B says
Pilot Me!
I’m usually digital using apps to help with lists.
Melissa K says
PILOT ME!
Oh, the lists I keep in Word docs! With fun fonts and perfect formatting! I think I like the list making more than doing what’s actually on them! That said, I’m a teacher, so those pens, notebooks, and organizers will definitely come in handy!
Amy D says

I love ALL kind of writing utensils! I use multiple kinds depending on the task I am doing.

Laura Williams says
PILOT ME! I’m a pen & notepad kind of gal.
Sandy D says
PILOT ME!
I’m a pen and sticky note kinda gal… I’d love to be a pen and notebook kinda gal though, it’s much harder for a toddler to eat a notebook than it is to eat a sticky note ;-)

Crystal says
PILOT ME!
I always care a pen (or 3) and a notebook handy when those random thought pop up in my head.

Pilot Me!
I love writing with a freshly sharpened pencil!
Jessica McNatt says
Pilot Me!
I am old school, I prefer making lists with pens and spiral notebooks. It is easier for me to keep track of things when I have a tangible list rather than electronic.
christie says
pilot me!
i like ‘juicy’ pens – left from the gel pen days, i suppose.
Chelsea says
Pilot me! I make a million lists in every form and still forget things. This space cadet could use some organizational help.

Pilot me!
I stick with pens for almost everything except crossword puzzles and the occasional project that requires measuring.

Jade says
Pilot me!
Gauri says
Pilot me! I LOVE office supplies and organization, only in paper format. My purse has no less than 2 pens and 5 erasable highlighters in it at all times. If you’ve never gone the erasable highlighter route, I highly recommend it!
Kim Kas says
Pilot Me!
I scribble on whatever is handy with whatever is handy. Drives my hubs bonkers…
Christina says
Pilot Me!
I like a nice pen and good paper for making lists and reminders, but for the important stuff, I use my phone.
karen says
“Pilot Me!” I am all about the yellow legal pad and list making. . . then crossing them off!
Starr @ The Kiefer Cottage says
Pilot me!
I tend to use crayons these days because pens are consumed by the black hole that three children create.
Ash says
PILOT ME!
I only use the marker pens. Nothing writes smoother. (And I get to relive childhood every time I take down notes.)
Angela says
PILOT ME! I always have a pen (or two) with me or near me and a small notebook and my planner. I like to make to-do lists and jot down notes or things/websites/numbers, etc. that I want to remember and having those two things handy makes my life easier.

PILOT ME!
I like a Pilot Vball .5 :)

I LOVE having a calendar and pens on hand at all times!
bdaiss says
Pilot Me, oh please, oh pretty pretty please! (I’ve been drooling over Levenger and just can’t afford them…)
I’m a whatever is handy gal. And I doodle and list on any piece of writeable surface in sight. I keep pens/pencils/crayons and notebooks handy at all times, and in all locations. Now I add my iPhone into the mix as well.
Jessie B. says

Brittany says
PILOT ME! I love pilot pens – especially the purple. Always have one in my purse and a few in my cube at work :)

PILOT ME!
there is nothing better than writing with a perfect mechanical pencil. In college I bought myself a new pen or pencil at the start of each quarter– it kept me excited about taking notes, believe it or not.
Kaydee says
PILOT ME! I always use post-its…or whatever random paper is close enough for me to write on!
Annie B says
PILOT ME! I use the memo feature on my phone when I’m desperate, but I prefer to write down my to-dos on a sticky note with a pen (never a pencil!)
CrysHouse says
PILOT ME!
I typically keep a pencil on hand and paper in my purse. I’m a bit of a journal weirdo, so I usually have one of those in my purse, too.
sana says
PILOT ME! I always keep a pen or a pencil in my purse.
Bec says
Pilot Me! I love good ol’ Dixon Ticonderoga pencils.
Clarissa says
PILOT ME!
I’m partial to ball point pens and sticky notes to jot down quick notes and messages. Just can’t get hip to the digital skip, I guess. :)
Diana Frazier says
Pilot me! Oh my, this is such an awesome giveaway. I love, love, love Pilot pens. I am using a pink gel pen right now. What an easy way to make work more fun if you have an awesome pen to make your to do list with.
