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!

    Channel me! I love the smell of my mom’s perfume – Sierra. She has worn it my entire life, and it’s not very common, so anytime I smell it I feel safe and protected like a little kid.

    Oh, and freshly ground coffee, matches, and jasmine.

    I love the smell of my grandparents garage. Growing up my grandparents lived in a house on a lake that we would go visit every summer. Years later my grandparents had moved to a smaller house where my Aunt could help them out more and when my grandmother had to be moved into a home I helped pack things away. I was moved to tears when I opened the garage, this may sound silly but the smell of gasoline and hay took me right back to being 7 and crawling around and exploring their old shed on the lake.

    My favorite “nice” smell is Demeter’s Laundromat perfume… but I’m another one that absolutely LOVES the smell of gasoline. It reminds me of riding in my Nana’s big red Cadillac!

    I grew up on a farm, so fresh-cut hay has always been a favorite scent. And, I’ll totally cop to loving the weird scents – burnt toast, gasoline, general farm smell…

    I think my favorite smell currently is a Yankee Candle I happened upon: Orchard Pear! Wow. So good. And as for odd smells I like… I’m not sure but I have one that I despise: the smell of Antifreeze coming out of cars. YUCK.

    My all-time favorite smell is the Pacific Ocean. I can remember taking a road trip home from Texas, and rolling all the windows down when I reached the ocean, just so I could be surrounded by the smell of salty sea air.

    You know what’s weird? I really like the smell of birthday candles after you blow them out. I think because you associate memories with certain smells.

    I love sheets dried on the clothesline in the sunshine.
    The scent that hangs in the air just after a good rain.
    My babies after their baths.
    Horse.
    Sawdust.
    A field of hay that’s just been baled.
    Fresh out of the oven bread.
    Peaches, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, apple.
    That spicy scent that accompanies the leaves changing in the fall. The crisp cold clean scent of a newly fallen snow.
    The green of spring. The salt of summer at the beach.
    And my hubby.

    My favorite smell is really crazy- it’s the smell of my dad’s garage. Wood, gasoline, turpentine, so many dusty books. It’s a fire in the making but I love it.

    I have to admit, I love the smell of laundry detergent (as smelled when hugging other people or borrowing their jacket or whatever). I know it’s just chemicals, but for some reason it makes me really happy!

    I’m one of the weirder smell lovers. Oh sure, I like all the usual smells, but I love me some hot bleach water, especially like an indoor pool or a load of whites in the washer. It’s the best smell ever!
