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!

    While the smell of sweat and elbow grease is incredibly appealing, I think I prefer the smell of brownies better :P

    I absolutely love the smell of water as you are crossing the Hampton roads bridge tunnel. I moved to Northern Virginia after college and there’s nothing like rolling down your windows at 55mph, and letting that salt water smell drift through the car. That and bleach. Yes you read that right, I love bleach! It smells so clean!!

    I LOVE Acqua di Parma’s Arancia (Orange)…it’s just the most wonderful pure citrus smell. I’ve loved it for almost 1 decade when I first discovered it on a trip to Chicago on my 18th birthday at the Neiman Marcus.

    And I got to visit Parma about five years ago and had a little geek fest which my Italian friend didn’t understand. :)

    I’m a Scentsy fool for My Wish, Hazelnut Latte, and Irish Cream! But I’ll also admit that I like the smell of the ocean, even if it’s seaweed filled, and snowmachines for their distinct 2-stroke smell. Something to do with childhood I’m sure…

    One of my favorite smells is my husband’s deodorant… kinda weird, but I like the way it smells a lot and I am not ashamed to admit sometimes just sticking my nose right there near his armpit just to get a whiff.

    My Husband thinks I’m odd because I love the smell of cows!
    Specific cows though. The pretty pasture fed cows that produce milk. Not the smelly cows that are only being bulked up for meat production.
    He rolls the windows up while I roll them down. HA

    Favorite smells: Lavender, Lemongrass, and Williams-Sonoma’s ‘Winter Forest’ soap & lotion–only available at Christmas–I call it ‘sexy man’. I worked for W-S for several years and one day a put some of that lotion on and spent the rest of my shift looking for that sexy smelling man…oops it was my lotion!

    My favorite smell? Sun-warmed pine-needles in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Well, that and the first few minutes of a rainstorm. Either way, it’s definitely not sweat! :)

    I love the smell of the beach (except at low tide). Luckily, we live near the ocean so I can indulge whenever I want. Unfortunately, I can’t bring it home in a jar.

    I like the smell right after a summer rainstorm in the late afternoon/evening when it’s cooling off a bit as well.
