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.

  2. On the life list DONE as of last weekend – attended the wonderful Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in SF. Been here 10 years and never went…and it was fabulous! I heard all sorts of new (and old) music and met lovely folks! And it didn’t cost a dime.

    On the life list for next year – GO BACK and take many, many more photos and attend an extra day!

  19. Someday, I’ll attempt either a marathon or an Olympic distance triathlon. I was never athletic as a kid, and I fought my way to my first half marathon last year. It changed my life. I want to keep challenging myself.

  22. One of my life goals is to travel from one coast of my country, Canada, to the other. I’ve made it to the west coast, but still need to dip my toes into the Atlantic.

  23. I hadn’t really gotten behind the idea of life lists. I don’t know if they seemed too morbid, or if I was still recovering from the disaster of my 101 in 1001 from years ago, or what. But then I made a 30 Before 30 a few years ago and it kind of changed my life, and then reading about Mighty Summit finally pushed me over the edge. My list is young and still small, but it’s growing. The most recent additions are to visit Giraffe Manor in Kenya and to learn to surf.

  31. Ooohhh…I’m working on publishing my Life List right now, and I am having a hard time writing just one thing down! So because it is harvest season in Northwest, Ohio and because I live in farm country I’ll put these two-I want to solve a corn maze without a map and I want to drive a combine (you know, those hulking farm machinery things?!). This city-girl has no clue how to do either thing:)

    And this giveaway is so swoon-worthy…thanks for the goods!

  42. My list has been languishing a bit. Or I’ve been approaching it sideways, I don’t know. I’m working on a cabaret show. I’ve been slowly whittling away my 1000 dog portraits (and some cats). I’ve been teaching my dog tricks, too. He’s really easy to teach. Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about things I want to add. Though I’m terrified of heights I’ve been feeling as though I want to ride a zipline. I think I’d like to host a costume party. I think…I want to dream bigger, fancier maybe. I can do that.

  43. I’ve resolved to start blogging/journaling again since my birthday passed last month. Another item on my list is to make an effort once a month to try and get together with one or more of my best girlfriends who live a little farther away. 🙂 Next weekend is the kick off to what should be one of many great memories to come! We’re trying new things together.

  49. One of my goals was to learn to cool french food. I
    A professional cook, but self-taught and can’t afford culinary school. About a month ago I sat down with my chef and askedif he’d be willing to do an apprenticeship with me and he said yes. The same day I made my first bearnaise and I had to hold back tears because I was so proud. Thanks for helping all of us look forward to life.
