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.

  2. On life list: compile all goal lists in one place so as to actually do the things on them! Learn how to olympic weight lift. I see tiny girls in the gym doing it – they are such an inspiration. Maybe those Tiek shoes would help me do it?

  3. I’ve had a “life list” since I was fifteen years old (I’m now in my forties). Every time I’ve crossed something off my list, I’ve added a new goal, and I must say . . . it’s made for a very interesting life so far. This past October I finally crossed off “take my sister on a girls-only trip somewhere fabulous” and it was better than I could have ever hoped. She survived her first transAtlantic flight (something she was very nervous about) and I survived the stress of planning the entire trip. We spent ten days exploring Rome, driving around Tuscany and having the time of our lives. We had been wanting to do this for the last ten years and now I just can’t wait to do it again. Next up: in two weeks she’s flying out to visit me here in California and we’re driving up to the Russian River Valley to go wine tasting and hiking in the redwoods.

  19. I often say I would like to eat and drink my way around the world. I saw in the NYT over the weekend that there are classes all over Europe about how to make croissants and how to preserve charcuterie meats… I think someday I need to do those things. So I am putting all of this on my life list.

    Those are my nigh impossible bucket list boxes.
