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.

  1. Number One on my life list is “Finish making a life list.”

    Numbers Two through Ten are all about travel because that’s easiest for me to come up with! Such as: I will travel to Prague.

    That dahlia necklace is super lovely.

  2. Like the other Sarah, you can leave my name on the tote! LOL

    I’m still trying to get to Paris. Other people seem to be able to get on a plane and go, yet each time I try to plan the trip, something happens and I can’t go. Hopefully next year is it.

  10. I’m in the midst of huge limbo in my life right now (transatlantic move back to the states with toddler and hubby, living at my mom’s while we try to find a place of our own, not knowing what I’m going to do with my life now…) so perhaps it’s a good idea for me to focus on my nascent life list…one thing is to write the children’s book that’s been knocking around in my head and on the page for the past few years!

  19. On my life list for the next twelve months: get a dog, and re-learn how to be happy on my own. I know it seems like the first goal negates the second, but they are both really about finding my own bliss.

  21. Please..please 🙂 I have never won anything or posted on any blog for that matter but I love the shoes. Mighty girl is an awesome site that has helped me focus on what I really want again. I have a life list…but honestly need to look at it more.. Hot air balloon ride is hopefully my next thing. I am a very simple person looking for something that is missing.

  23. My fiance and I have been sharing life list items as part of our pre-marital counseling 🙂 A life list thing I want to accomplish in the next year is going swimming with turtles. We’re visiting Hawaii, so I hope to get this done! For him, our Hawaii trip means climbing the highest peak in that state — he has a goal to climb the highest peak in every state.

  37. I’ll confess that I’ve only idly composed a very loose mental Life List in the back of my head, but here’s something from that list that I actually accomplished: move to a city in the US where I know a few folks but get to essentially settle in from scratch and start over (in some ways). I just moved to Boston a couple of weeks ago.

    Also, kind of silly, but dating a great guy for the last couple of months, with whom I saw eye to eye on so much…even though we had to break up when I moved, it was a great experience. 🙂 That has been an incredible rarity in my life.

    Next up, once I settle on an apartment and move in: start living a more natural life, and learn how to cook from scratch.

  38. Gosh. I haven’t looked at my life list in a while, but I feel like learning to knit in the round is something to be accomplished this fall/winter. In other news, I did my own 30 Days of Fun project on my Facebook page, and I will be forever grateful to you for introducing me to it. It changed my life.

  43. My last life list item–to be spent. To spend my life for Jesus, loving people. I don’t want to look back when it’s all over and see where I wasted opportunities to be kind or to serve. I want to finish life having lived fully, spent.

    For more goals with shorter achivement periods–I want to learn to cook healthfully–before I have kids.
