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. I just wrapped up my 101 in 1001 list, and now I’m feeling kind of aimless. I didn’t finish the list but I learned a lot about myself.

    One of the items on my life list is to return to school for a second degree, diploma, certification or professional designation.

  27. I want to take my family on a road trip to the Black Hills, once my kids are old enough to remember it. (With a 1-year-old and a 23-week fetus, not *quite* there yet, but therefore have plenty of time to make sure it happens.) Something so quintessential American about this to me.

    Thanks for the cool Mighty Summit giveaway!

  29. A big item on my life list is to get my husband and kids up to Michigan where i grew up, but more specifically, to take them to Mackinaw Island. I went so many times as a child and even got to stay at the Grand Hotel a time or two. I want to share the beauty, the quiet simplicity, make some Mackinaw memories of our own. My husband has had crippling panic attacks since he was a child, so until recently this hasn’t been possible. After much prayer and searching and hoping, we have found a psychiatrist he loves and medication that is helping. He has hope for some relief for the first time in his life and is talking realistically about light travel. Now we just continue his healing and work on our budget and i think we can make this happen.

    I don’t know how many people have something as mundane as a vacation back home on their list, but I live far across the country and my parents have never even met my two children because travel has been almost impossible for us and very difficult for them as well. But my husband and I are working hard to get past out own issues to make a good life for our children.

    yay life lists! they are really helping us to focus on our needs and our dreams and make real change happen. 🙂

  38. On my life list: Dancing at a particular good friend’s wedding. This was a tricky one, because he happens to be gay — but now he’s seeing a wonderful person AND we have marriage equality in New York, so I think this one is getting crossed off before much longer! 🙂

  49. It may sound like a cliche, but at the top of my life list right now is to get married to my wonderful fiancee. We’ve been engaged for a while now, and due to life and other circumstances, we just haven’t been able to have our wedding yet. I’m really hoping that it comes soon though!
