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 had a baby this year, which was a pretty big deal. I still want to buy a house, but that’s on hold until we figure out where we are going to live long term. Maybe a good item would be to get through the holidays at my in-laws without secretly wanting to kill someone?

  4. One of my top 5 list items is “dress cute”. Which doesn’t sound that challenging, but I trend toward the frumpy end of the spectrum, and crave many of the thrown-together-yet-look-effortlessly-awesome looks I see on Mighty Girl.

  15. Figure out what I want to do when I grow up. With any luck, something that involves writing and advocacy. With even more luck, this will also involve a paycheck. And visit Australia to hang out with Lloyd and Tigh. Not necessarily in that order.

  23. Funny how part of what the life list shows you is to jump at opportunities as they come along. Soon I will be going to Korea, something I never would have dreamed I’d do. In the meantime, however, it’s time to finish writing that book.

  25. I am very neglectful of ME. One of my goals was to find something good I could do for me, that benefits as many aspects of myself as possible. How is that for vague? To that end, I found a wonderful community acupuncture practice, in my neighborhood, that is affordable to me. I now go once a week, and it’s heaven.

  36. One item on my life list has always been to go to Hawaii. I am fulfilling that dream in January by participating in a mission through my church. We’ll be going to the island of Oahu to one of the poorest and impoverished parts of the state, where we’ll be helping homeless and poor people in many ways. I can’t wait.
