Fab Freebie: Channel No. 125

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below! ***

Random.org has done it again and selected our winner as… Chelsea (who loves the smell of coffee in the morning). Congrats!

The only fragrance we’re giving away this week is that of sweat and elbow grease (yummy, right?). Because this week’s prize comes from Channellock, who not only makes some of our favorite tools but is also celebrating 125 years of forging them right here in the USA. So they’re giving away 1 + 2 + 5 tools (that makes 8, btw) to one soon-to-be-sweaty guy or gal. That lucky lady or lad will be getting a five-piece Tool Roll, two Ratcheting Wrenches and one Professional Laser Level. Can’t ya just smell those projects in your future?

Channellock Giveaway

  • PRIZE: Channellock’s Tool Roll #3, Ratcheting Wrenches and Professional Laser Level (a $173 value)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “CHANNEL ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about your favorite smell. Do you have a go-to perfume or cologne? Are you a sucker for a particular type of scented candle? Or will you admit to something stranger like burnt popcorn, gasoline, or egg salad?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 10th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: All Fifty United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perked for hosting this giveaway, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics courtesy of Channellock.

Bonus Freebie: Hey Richmonders – we’ve got a local prize for you over on our Facebook page (you might have to scroll a bit to find it – just look for the elephant). You can enter to win a pair of tickets to next week’s ASID White Elephant Designer Auction right here in RVA!

    Probably the weirdest smell I like is original Palmolive :) My mom used to do “manicures” with me as a little girl — mostly I spent a lot of time holding my fingernails in a bowl of warm water with Palmolive, then later she’d put tons of Keri lotion on my hands and then a little of clear nail polish on my nails. So I love that smell of green Palmolive, reminds me of special mom-daughter times. :)

    Which wouldn’t relate to tools very much, but I sure like tools!

    I love the smell of rain, the ocean, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, the newborn baby smell my son had and my strange one is my husband’s cheeks. They have a distinct smell that’s him!

    Channel Me! My favorite (or at least one of my favorite…) smellls is that of homemade checx mix being baked in the oven. When I was a kid, my mom almost never made it except for Thanksgiving break when we’d drive to Illinois and need some major car snacks. So the smell always reminds me of thanksgiving and family and happiness. Now, sometimes I made it at home for no reason other than I like the smell and it is DELICIOUS.

    My favorite scent is a cologne that my now husband wore when we first started dating. He is from Russia, and unfortunately for me, that cologne was bought in Russia, and I have been unable to find it here. So sad!

    My favourite perfume/cologne is Gendarme. once read that Shaq wears it which didn’t exactly make me feel like I wear the sexiest scent but I just love it.

    I love the smell of wet dirt as well, especially after the first rain of the season.

    You know the main smell that hits you when you get to the candle section of IKEA? I forget the actual name, I think it’s mango something. I don’t use candles for anything, but I’m always tempted to get one.
