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.
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.
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.

Life List Item- Clear out years of clutter with massive yard sale, spend the proceeds extravagantly (or, as extravagantly as you can spend yard sale earnings).
Sale is next weekend… waiting to see what sort of extravagance I arrange. Hoping for at least some impracticality.

I would say I just crossed something off my life list: speedboating with great friends in the south of France during the middle of a wedding reception, while wearing a formal dress and fascinator AND drinking champagne out of the bottle! Fantastic weekend, and makes me realize why my friend said, when we all dreaded returning to work, “in 40 years you won’t even remember where you worked, but you’ll remember this trip!” Must start on new ideas for the life list!

I was able to cross something off my list this summer without planning on it. #25- Help a Stranger.
On a hot summer day a homeless woman, that I often see, approached a friend and I as we were sitting on a bench eating ice cream cones. She wanted money. First, giving someone spare change wouldn’t cross this item off my list. Second, I actually didn’t have any money. I had ridden my bike and brought only a gift card for the ice cream shop. I told the woman this and she asked if I would buy her a cone. I said, “You want an ice cream cone??” Her: “Yeah.” Me: “What flavor?” Her: “Chocolate!!”
If getting someone an ice cream cone isn’t helping, I don’t know what is.

Living in a foreign country for at least a year. I just returned from six weeks in Bali, so I’m a step closer to that goal. Or maybe a step back due to debt. But now I know that I can do it (with my husband and three year old daughter) and I must!
