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.

  29. I will finally own up to one of the things I should do: prepare and eat okra. I know I know! Some people gasp at the thought that someone never has eaten okra. Well, that’d be this northerner, and I ought to correct that oversight.

  32. While I’m new to following your site I am absolutely in love. You are such an inspiration and I really appreciate all the wonderful things you share.

    I actually started my life list in my first year of high school, and I’ve been adding to it ever since. The list is now close to one hundred things I plan to accomplish in my life and I’ve since broken it down into more manageable categories.

    One of the things at the top of my list is: LEARN HOW TO FIX CARS

    I’ve been working on this, I did take a shop class in high school and I’m tinkering with my little rust bucket as things come up. It’s a long process, but somewhere down the road I know I’ll have a girlfriend say “I really need to take my car in to get the spark plugs changed” and I’ll be able to say “Oh! I can do that for you! Bring your car over on Saturday, I’ll take a look and we can go buy the plugs together.”

  37. I’m 43 cheeses into my “Try 100 cheeses.” life list item. This is almost purely fun seeing as though I LOVE cheese. But word to the wise: Stay away from the Hooligan. Unless you like the idea of a cheese that tastes like you just licked the unwashed foot of a 15 year old boy who has been wearing his Chucks without socks all summer long.

  45. Amazing prize! One item that’s really on my radar right now on my life list is to take my business from a level of barely sustaining itself to being able to hire an administrative assistant within one year. That’s my business one. A fun one that scares me a little bit? Sing karaoke in public!
