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’m on my way to planting a vegetable garden and canning everything in it. This year I did pickles and green beans. Next year I think I might be able to manage tomatoes as well. But I won’t cross this off my list until I’ve gotten to beets, carrots, and corn.

  2. My Life List has stalled. Every thing has come to screetching hault while we wait to close on our house. I guess this is OK. For now. But I got some big plans, the hair is now to the tops of my shoulders, going to New York next 4th. Slowly going to cross some things off that list.

  5. Last night I crossed off a life-list item: I finished testing with the local roller derby league and I am in — after almost a year of training and testing, I’m in! WOOT! I need shoes…all $$ has gone to skates, lol.

  7. I’ve never seen some of these give-a-away items before. The 5 ring necklace is a terrific idea. I wonder if it jingles like dog tags? I’ve also wondered about those shoes…like what was the purpose of having them roll up. Now I know! Thanks for the generous giveaway! Here’s to random picking!

    One of my dreams is to take my mother to Norway, so we can visit the towns and homes where her mother was raised.

  18. On my life list is learning to drive a stick shift. My father tried to teach me once 15 years ago, on a hill, with my mother and younger brother in the backseat offering running commentary. The lesson lasted 10 minutes, which is the exact time it took for me to roll down said hill and crash into a chain link fence. I’m hoping my second attempt doesn’t prove nearly as traumatic.

  29. I need to make an actual life list, instead of the vague thoughts floating in my head of things I’d like to do. This morning, the thing that catches my eye in the floating is seeing Europe on a big long train traveling vacation.

  34. I’d like to learn how to sew something that I could wear, ultimately so that I can sew something that my future kids could wear. So far I’ve only been able to sew an oddly-shaped tote bag, but it’s progress!

  36. My #1 thing on my life list is to learn to make pants for my daughter. I keep buying these adorable pants for my daughter for $15, when I know I could make them for, like, $1. So, I bought a sewing machine and a serger and it’s time to sit down in front of it and buckle down and get it done.

    My #2 is to make some friends. I moved to Chicago 4 years ago and I have yet to form any real friendships. I’ve been making excuses, but I don’t have a support system here, and I need it – badly. So, if anyone reads this and lives in the Northern Chicago suburbs and has a whole in their social circle that needs to be filled with someone who is shy but loyal, let me know.

  50. 2012 will be the year that I host a retreat. 36 hours of silence for overworked and over stimulated folks, myself included. I don’t know when it will happen, but a related life list item is a vacation by myself. With no room for guilt in my suitcase!
