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.

  7. The biggest thing on my life list right now is to finish all my courses and the exam to get my project management certification. Then to get my level 1 French. Then to move back to Ontario. And to finally, finally, FINALLY master making my grandmother’s sweet rolls with bacon and onion….mmmm…..

  16. I wrangled a big helium balloon in a holiday parade. I really did. Once you do something wacky on your list… it gives you a whole new perspective. Don’t you think? Hmmmm, where am I gonna find a cow?

  29. I just added something to my life list this week–spending a month in Detroit. In the past year, I’ve read more than a dozen articles about Detroit, sat mesmerized by a photo series of “feral houses” and watched two documentaries about the changes being made there . . . it’s a strange and inspiring kind of revolution. My husband would never agree to move there and even I’ll admit it’s way, way out of my comfort zone. But, we’re going to go, and we’re going to spend a significant chunk of time there.

  32. I still need to create a life list. I think it will help give me goals to think about long-term other than “find my house under the piles of baby clothes and dishes.” So, right now, Goal #1 on my Life List is to “Write a life list.”

  34. Not sure when it will actually happen (when, not if), but very high on my life list is to introduce my daughter to her birthmother and siblings. She’s only 4 now, but I want her to know the other piece of her family.

  38. Seeing the northern lights has been on my Life List forever… and now a friend and I are planning a trip to Norway for that exact purpose. SO excited!

  39. the idea of a life list scared me initially, because my gut reaction was stress about a number of goals that i was afraid i wouldn’t accomplish, and then i’d be disappointed in myself. so glad that i got over that 🙂 i still think that one of my top (and most scary) life list items will be investing in a house–one that’s not the home i live in, and is solely for me to fix up and re-sell. i’d like to have that done within the next 5 years.

  43. I just looked at my lifelist for the first time in a while and felt kind of sad at how over-ambitious it is — everything on it involves lots of money (travelling, paying off debt, getting my pilot’s license), or at least a long-term time investment (learning the guitar). But there at the bottom was camp at Hdden Springs again with friends or family, and I just went there with my husband last month! It’s a glorious campground in the Humboldt redwoods off the Avenue of the Giants where my family has been going since the 1960’s, and I hadn’t been in years. So yay, one thing off my list and I didn’t even know it.

  44. A few years ago (well, a bit more than that), I made a life list. Then I proceeded to knock off pretty much everything I could on the list in rapid succession, and I’m left with a few really, really impossible goals that take an incredibly long time. Funny how a bunch of things that seemed so unattainable when I wrote the list turned out to be trivial to do once I actually decided to just do them.
