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.

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.








I’m seeing Dolly Parton in concert tonight. This is the very first item I get to cross off my life list!

Climb a 14er was on the list – but I busted that one out (plus two additional 14ers) a few weeks ago. So check plus for that. However, now I’ve added “climb all 54 Colorado 14ers” to the list. Not bad for a girl who would couldn’t cross a parking lot 5 years ago.

I want to run a marathon. Last year my goal was a 5K a 10K and to look into a 10 miler. I ran a 5K and a 10K and then signed up for a half and did it! It was so much fun and so nice to have a regimented training program for just me. I made it work with childcare and our schedule and even though it was really hard for me, I did it. I cannot imagine how hard it will be to do the same for twice the distance, but I want to do it. It give me chills even to officially announce it!

I saw when you first posted those flats… and I’ve been coveting them ever since! Unfortunately though, they don’t really fit into a student’s budget, since $135 can buy a lot of groceries.
The good news? I get to cross off “Finish college… with honors” off my lifelist this spring. So even if I don’t win, maybe I will finally be able to afford those shoes on my own. 🙂
