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. On my list is to tell a story at The Moth. The thing is I go to The Moth all the time as an audience member. I need to kick myself and make it happen.

  3. A couple things I’ve crossed off my list this year: witnessed the birth of my nephew, climbed my second 10,000’+ mountain (AND did a multiple day backpacking trip in the process, double-dipping for those two Life List items), and I joined two new ladies’ groups that are entirely outside my circle of friends, in an effort to meet new people and push past my comfort zone.

  7. Most of my life list revolves around travel, however this year I have added achievements of aa more personal nature. I want to enjoy my job more and make more of an effort to be less of a hermit.

  11. Thanks for hosting this contest! I love those shoes.

    On my life list is to go skydiving. My husband used to weigh too much to do so, but now he’s well under the maximum weight, so we’re both excited to cross this off our lists!

  24. Hmm. I’m sad to see that the T&Cs now say “Open to US and Canada only” as I don’t live in those places. But I am going to enter anyway, and if I win, I’m happy to pay postage, or sacrifice the large items. I lust after that beautiful five ring necklace though. I *NEED* it!

    From my life list: Visit the Amalfi coast in Italy and make tarte au citron from the amazing lemons that grow there.

  28. This year has been unreal, so many “this wasn’t on my life list but damn it should have been” moments, that only now am I returning “in proper” to my published one. I’m making a 5 for the year list..maybe that will help.

  35. I have hit upon something – meditation! ta-da! – that has given a depth to my list and life that I’d been longing for. I struggled for a while (and have commented here before) that what I really wanted – things like being more connected, a sense of belonging, a sense of being known – I was having trouble pinning down. How does one chase those things down to cross them off? Well, I don’t think one does, exactly.

    Meditation, while not yielding anything tangible, other than the realization that I have stupidly inflexible hips (so long, youth!), has cracked a door that I didn’t know was there. Nothing has happened, really. But it’s reaching toward the core of something that feels important. That’s all I can say for now.

  36. That tote is meant for me! My name is Sarah! As are the shoes. I really think they would love my feet.
    Anyway, if you’re into giving things away, I would love to attend your next event . . . . . .

  38. I just became a flight attendant (“have a job i actually enjoy” is now checked off the list) and have added “Travel to a city I’ve never been to before without a plan” to the list. Every time I go somewhere new its for work or for a specific event… I just want to pick somewhere random, go, and figure it out when I get there, ‘Yes Man’ style.
