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!

    •BONUS QUESTION:
    I have been wearing White Musk from the Body Shop since college. I can’t even smell it any more, but I really remember loving it…perhaps, after 17 years, it’s time to change it up….I’m going to troll through the comments and find a perfume to try and maybe it will become my favorite!

    I can’t pick just one but the scent of hyacinth always reminds me of spring which makes me a very happy person. And I really love maple scented anything but particularly candles even though they bring on a pancake craving.

    Hmmmm . . . favorite smell . . . I love the evergreen trees in the cooling evening air after a hot hot hot day, as the lake breeze brings it through the wide-open house . . . yummy things baking in the oven . . . lavender and rosemary essential oils with a touch of calendula . . . Thai food . . . a crisp Autumn day . . .

    but my all-time favorite has to be the subtle scent of my husband’s neck when I hug him. :o)

    CHANNEL ME! Gracious me, do I love the smell of my husband’s cologne — Sandalwood by the Art of Shaving. It smells earthy and masculine, without any hint of that artificial musky, chemical-y smell that follows so many guys around. It’s also not very common, so I get to enjoy it as his unique scent.

    Incidentally, a pair of Channellocks was the first present I ever bought for him when we were dating, to replace ones that were lost at a job site. He’s a 3rd generation plumber and swears by them!
