When we were pulling together gifts for the Mighty Summit, we set a few aside to give away. Here’s what’s up for grabs today:
Large Natural Zip Top Canvas Tote Bag by Lands End
I had no idea how useful these were until I had one. Sturdy, preppy delicious, and just the right size for a weekend away. Yours will not say “Sarah” on the front, but it will have the same trim.
I bought a pair of these genius travel shoes a while back, and they’re one of my favorite things. Tieks fold in half so you can stuff them in your purse, and the quality is amazing. They come in all sorts of candy colors and metallics — plus they pack flat and slip off easily when you’re heading through airport security. The winner gets to choose any pair for $135 and under.
Bamboo Dahlia Necklace By Feisty Elle
You know that girl who always looks so cool, and you can never pinpoint what it is about her? Good jewelry. Dahlias are my favorite flower, and designer Leslie Yang made a silver version of this necklace for Summit attendees.
Neoprene Laptop Case from Mixed Bag
Now you can drop your laptop more stylishly than before.
Tattly makes temporary tattoos that don’t suck. We’ve talked about these before, and they’ve come out with a few new designs since. Instant toughness boost for the nerd corps.
A one-year subscription to Typekit, the service that lets you use a variety of fonts on your site without having to serve them as images. Have you noticed the Web has been looking prettier lately? Thank these guys.
Gretchen Rubin was one of our Mighty Summit attendees this year, and she brought along her New York Times Bestselling book, which is about her year-long experiment in making her life happier. I love this idea, and this book.
The Quintet Necklace by Lemonade Handmade
I’ve mentioned this necklace before, we give one to each of the attendees to symbolize the five Life List goals they hope to accomplish in the coming year. I love the necklace for its simplicity, and I like the idea of five golden rings being little commitments to yourself. I wear mine most days until I’ve crossed everything off for the year.
And that’s it for today. Pretty good, huh? To enter please leave a comment about something on your Life List, contest closes next Thursday night at midnight PST. Helen Jane and Laura at The Queso are doing giveaways as well, so head over there for two more chances to win.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment here, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries on Mighty Girl will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Friday. Offer eligible only to U.S. and Canada.








Take my mom on an Alaskan cruise. That would check off two things on my list: see Alaska and take my mom on vacation.

A pause to the moments that don’t make any list but quickly become the goal you never knew you had::::
Currently sitting on the patio of my house in northern thailand listening to the styling sounds of a Thai dudes ringtone and the songs of the jungle around me.
Who would have guessed???
P.s. It’s a great place to hang out for Loy Krathong…just saying…
P.p.s. I have a US address so I think I qualify for your goodies 😉

Two things on my list: take a cross-country roadtrip and see Alaska. This August, my man and I left Pennsylvania, drove all the way to northwest Washington state (one down!) and boarded a ferry to Alaska (and two down!). We now live in a state park for the winter. Mighty Life Lists are awesome!

Beautiful! I love the idea of the life list. My most recent life list accomplishment is leasing a horse for my daughter to ride. It made a big dream of hers come true, and it’s something I truly never thought that I would be able to say that I’ve done. (I know – we don’t really own him. But still, he’s kind of ours!)

I checked off some living-in-Chicago things this summer but my list is still huge and growing. I really want to do the Wild Cave tour (more intense Mammoth Cave tour, with miner’s helmets and the expectation that you will come out filthy and exhausted), which is in my home state of Kentucky.

ohmygod, i doubt I will win because there are soooo many entries but announcing what i want to complete will give me more of a push to complete it, right? So, even if i don’t win this contest, i win in life because I am able to complete my goal.
So, one item on my life list is to…. Get my PH.D!!!!!!

One of the goals on my life list is to adopt or foster a child. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was in elementary school, and I’m working on encouraging my husband to take the leap.

I recently crossed two HUGE items off my life list – getting a particular job, which I started last week, and having a baby. My baby girl is due in February! I imagine that the shape and tone of my life list will change dramatically along with her arrival. One of my goals will be to try not to let the last two goals conflict with each other – that is, don’t let my job get in the way of having fun with my kid, nor letting my kid get in the way of a fulfilling career.
