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.

  4. It’s not really on my life list, more like a fantastical wish list: I want to participate in Mighty Summit.

  5. Have marked a few off my list this year, even some I didn’t know were on there. My next two to tackle? Learning Italian and learning how to restore the antique piano I bought for $15…and then how to play it.

  6. Dang it, I am *going* to a performance of Handel’s Messiah this year.

    I did have to strike something from my Mighty List, because it turns out reading nothing but 100-year-or-more-old books makes my modernist literature brain sad. But I have been reading more old books this year. I’m in the middle of something that was written in the 800s (like, 1200 years ago, not 200) and it is delightful.

  7. (Since my name is Sarah, it is like that bag is calling to me.)

    Next on the life list: create a mediation oasis; a pillow, candle, books, and quiet.

  9. Those shoes look so comfortable! Some day, maybe I’ll make it to the summit. Until then, I want to sew a skirt and run a 5K before the end of 2011.

  10. In the mid-1990s, my grandfather bought some Printshop software and went to town publishing a weekly (!) family newsletter. My grandma had just gotten diagnosed with cancer, and he used the newsletter to keep everyone informed about how she was doing. She passed away a few years later, and my grandpa eventually passed away too. In his memory, and to keep my huge family in touch with each other, my life goal is to take over his role of newsletter publisher and to publish at least bi-monthly, going forward.
