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. I just crossed off the #1 item on my Life List two weeks ago: see sunrise from the top of Half Dome in Yosemite! I can happily say that it was everything I hoped it would be.
    Thanks so much, Maggie, for inspiring me to write the list in the first place!

  12. My Life List comment is that I, um, should really make one. I’ve just moved diagonally across the country, so I guess my first thing can be Find a Paying Client in LA :-D.

  17. Oooooh, TIEKS! I’d enter the giveaway just for a pair of those (note to self: add “own a pair of Tieks” to the life list).

    One of the big things on my life list is to learn to speak at least basic conversational Urdu so I can hold a conversation with my very sweet Pakistani grandmother-in-law. At the moment, all we can really do is smile at each other and use silly hand signals. While I value all of the smiling we do on Skype, it sure would be nice to be able to surprise her one day with a real conversation.

  18. When my best friend passed away 2 years ago I made my life list. Thus far I’ve crossed off 7 items. The goal for the next 6 months is to cross off at least 2 more.

  30. I want to go to a dog rescue and save every dog, no matter how many. I’d pile them into my car and drive off, like in the movie ‘Year of the Dog.’

  32. On my life list this year is to take a vacation with my sister who moved across the country 5 years ago. I miss her dearly and we never get to see each other any more.

  34. I LOVE the idea of a simple piece of jewelry serving as a reminder of a promise to yourself. Whether it’s a Life List or a goal or a dream… whatever… it’s brilliant.

  36. A long time ago (30 years ago), I was fairly fluent in Spanish, but it’s mostly slipped away. The goal I’m working on daily is to re-learn Spanish. It’s slow, but I’m making progress!

  38. Honestly? Near the top of my list right now is getting the hell out of Houston. I just wasn’t built for this weather.

    (I bought The Happiness Project not too long ago and love it. It very easily could have come across pretty inaccessibly, but Gretchen Rubin’s emphasis on staying true to who you are is unerringly consistent.)

  39. Pick me! Pick me! I checked out Gretchen Rubin’s book from my library but only got about 2 chapters in before I had to return it. Someone else had put a hold on it, so I couldn’t renew it. The list of holds is pretty long.

    On my life list, I’d like to have a productive enough garden/berry bushes/satsuma trees/whatever that I have something fresh to eat from my own backyard for every season.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  42. I just started creating a life list this month. I have 7 more goals to think of before I post it on my blog. I am including 2 things that I’ve actually already done, because I tend to be too hard on myself about what I have (read: haven’t) achieved so far in my life, and they are really awesome things to have done: be a lead singer in a band, and celebrate Oktoberfest in Munich. xo

  44. One of the items on my life list was to run 10K a week. I finally was able to cross it out- ran 15K a week. And then, few months ago, I ran 10K in a DAY! :)) that was the most exciting thing ever 🙂

  45. I really want to close out both of my parents’ estates within the next six months, so that I can attend to the other goals on my life list. Like: being an officiant at a wedding.
