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!

    I really like the Mango Mandarin scent from Bath & Body Works. I once bought a couple products in that scent for my then-girlfriend, but she rarely ever used them =(

    I smelled them when I went over anyway.

    Ever since I received it as a birthday present my on my 16th birthday, I have been a sucker for Abercrombie 8 perfume. It’s a little embarrassing now that I’m twenty-four and I still have to make my yearly pilgrimage to that teeny-bopper store to get my perfume fix!

    CHANNEL ME! I love the smell of vanilla and so does the hubby. That’s actually how I won his heart. We were tearing apart a closet in his house to put in a pantry. I wore a body spray that had the scent of vanilla and as I got warm the scent wafted through the room. He thought it was very sexy…the scent and a female helping him on his DIY projects!

    I am a farm girl, so my favorite smells are fresh turned dirt in the spring and fresh cut hay and wheat in the summer. There’s also something about the smell of a sweaty horse and leather.

    Thanks for having such awesome giveaways!

    Currently my favorite smell is the vanilla pomegranate essential oil I put on my dryer balls (why does that sounds so…wrong?). Yummmmy smelling lightly scented clothes.

    If I win this I’ll have a kick ASS gift for hubby’s birthday next month. I’m crossing my fingers, toes and eyes for this one! If not, I’m ordering him a case of his favorite hot sauce we can’t find locally. Or maybe he’ll get both..

    Believe it or not, my favorite smell is that of old-fashioned hardware stores, reminding me immediately of my father, who would always take me with him when I was little. He has been gone for 24 years and I can’t go to a hardware store without being reminded of him.
