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.

  6. I wrote a life list in 2006 then promptly forgot about it. I re-visited it while packing up my apartment to move, and realized that the biggest things on the list (getting my university degree, learning to scuba dive, traveling with my husband, and beginning a career in a field that I love) have been crossed out and then some.

    The last five years have been a time of incredible growth for me, and Mighty Girl has inspired me along the way. Just think how much more I could accomplish if I were *intentional* about my life list! Thanks, Maggie, for being so awesome.

  11. Gosh its hard to pick which thing on my life list, but I think I’ll go with ‘hike part of the appalachian trail’ – that’s meant to be multiple days in a row, but not the whole thing. I just think going into nature for a few solid days and pushing yourself physically is something I could use to help me mentally and physically.

  18. First thing on my list is to figure out what my list is. I start thinking of things like—be a cowboy, move to Italy for six months, master another language, train dogs to jump through hoops, learn to sew—and while some are doable, it seems so daunting I give up before I start.

  19. I LOVE the fold-able shoes. GENIUS.

    I crossed something off of my life list recently: I went shotgun shooting and hit 2 clay pigeons! 2! That would be more than 0, which was the number I was expecting! 🙂
