Mighty Summit Tote Giveaway

Uncategorized

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.

Tieks by Gavrieli

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 Temporary Tattoos

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.

Typekit Subscription

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.

The Happiness Project

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.

  4. Great giveaway!

    I’ve had learn to knit on my life list for a while and recently my husband’s aunt visited us, plopped down on the couch, and pulled out an enormous scarf she had been working on on the flight up. I asked her if she thought she could teach me and within an hour, I had started my own scarf. I had thought about taking a class at the local yarn store but family showing up to teach me was wayyyy better.

  5. My bff and I have been working on our mighty list for the past year, thanks to your site. Right now I’m currently working on one that is to see all 50 documentaries from the NYT’s best list, but the next one I’d like to do is to go to the Bronx Zoo. I recruited my parents to join me! The most exciting item I crossed off this year was to go skydiving. Best. Experience. Ever.

  7. I would like to take my husband to Paris – I left for a month in Paris shortly after we started dating, calling him from public phones and hotels rooms all over the city while I was away … something tells me it would be infinitely better with him by my side.

  13. I’ve been reading Mighty Girl from Australia for 12 months and now that I’ve moved to Canada I can finally enter a giveaway! Not that just reading wasn’t delightful.

    Moving overseas for at least 12 months was on my Life List, so tick! Love the tote, shoes, necklaces, book…ok everything up there looks sweet and lovely.

  14. I just crossed something off my life list: learn to crochet! I never thought I’d be able to do it, but I have a lovely afghan to give to my grandmother for her 95th birthday.

  16. My best friend just moved to LA, and I have never been to California. Thus, first on my life list is to go see her there, but as an extension of that, I’d like to bank up some separate money and vacation days to keep on the side in case she ever needs me to fly there spontaneously.

  17. Random items from my Life List…

    ~ Go on a road trip in a convertible
    ~ Learn basic watercolour technique
    ~ Run a race and finish in the top half

    As you might guess from the ‘u’ I put in ‘watercolour’, I’m very pleased that this contest is open to Canadians. Thanks!

  20. My big goal for the year is to start a blog about stuff I like, ranging from Classical literature, rants, feminism, and pop culture. I don’t plan on having thousands of readers, but it would be a great outlet for things I like to think about.

  22. My goal is to finish my life list. I’ve started one, but to say that is even cheating. I know what I would put on it, but have not, as of yet, written them down. My goal is to WRITE THEM DOWN, then as you have advised, fill it in with all the good stuff that seems like a dream but is totally doable if I decided it is!

    First on the list:
    Own a sewing machine!

  25. I do yearly lists, as opposed to a life list, but on this year’s list is: go to a scotch tasting, and try fifty different kinds of cheeses, to name a few.

  26. What a nice giveaway and it will remind this aging baby-boomer that life lists are not just for the young. In fact, there is an even greater sense of urgency. After spending 30+ years in the corporate world, I now own a sustainable cut-flower business and, yes, I do grow dahlias! Next on my life list are chickens and bees, and perhaps minature cattle (Dexters).

  37. I recently completed a major life list item (living abroad for the year) and a medium life list item (making a quilt for my new nephew). I am currently puzzling over what to tackle next – probably updating my work website, so the typekit subscription is apropos. And, my bag should say ‘Sarah’ on the front, so that’s easy.

  38. I don’t think I’ve even added it to my Life List yet, but skydiving is what I’m going to do in the next year. Hopefully in the spring. Looks like several others have done it and loved it, so I can’t wait!

This past weekend, of course with the help of great friends, I moved into one of my big-ticket items on my Life List – my very own house! Homeowner? Check! I cannot tell you how amazing it feels. Next up? Monthly dinners for friends in my home.
