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.








Lovely!

I’m about to have my second child, so right now it feels like my life list on hold – although that necklace could be a good reminder to pick at least 5 things to accomplish throughout the year! Even with an infant that might be doable.
One thing that I can probably work on is to simplify my stuff – get rid of the things that I’m hanging on to just because So-and-So gave them to me/I might use them someday/etc. Now if only I could get my husband to do the same…

This summer, we bought a house and inadvertently crossed off several items from my Life List, namely designing a home office. So, I decided to pick up an item that’s been burning my hands – figuratively.
I’m drawing again, a bit. And it’s like something has come loose in me. Liberating!

My favorite thing about when you ask people to list things on their life lists is realizing that while I often feel like my life is pretty boring, I’ve gotten to do a lot of cool things that other people are getting to look forward to. So it also makes me grateful!

Inspired by your “Taste 1000 Fruits, Maggie, I decided to “Read 1000 Books.” Started middle of last year, only counting real/chapter books (not picture ones I read to my kids) & I’m almost up to 70 already. I think I’ll have to celebrate when I hit 100! Thank you so much for the inspiration – my Life List, though not up to 100 entries yet, makes me very happy.
