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 love the smell of gas & grass! I’m sure it stems from enjoying the security of being a kid at home with a happy & handy Dad mowing the lawn – but now that I’m adult – the smell of fresh cut grass makes me think of “time away from work” and the smell of gas makes me think of our hobbies – fixing & driving 1970’s BMWs! :) (These tools would be a great addition to our garage!)

    I like the smell of horse barns – which mostly means the smell of horse crap! It’s not pleasant, exactly, but it’s very nostalgic for me. I grew up horse-crazy, but rarely got a chance to ride. The few times I did get to, the smell must have made an impression. A whiff of eau de barnyard still makes me smile and look around for large, four-hooved friends.

    I love the smell of beeswax candles – my mother-in-law owns a beeswax candle company and pours her own candles to sell there. We always have lots of them around our house, and the smell is sweet and neutral all at once.

    My favorite smell is summer rain! There is nothing better than cuddling up in a blanket on my parents screen porch and watching a thunder storm. My grandmother started the tradition with me when I was little (she didn’t want me to be afraid of thunder and lightening so she made it a game), my Dad and I have continued the tradition into my adulthood (he likes to try and catch photos of the lightening), and now it’s something I can share with my boyfriend.

    No matter where I am the smell of summer rain makes me feel calmer and happy :)

    I enjoy the smells of my life. Freshly cut grass, air right before and after a storm, a warm breeze on a summer day, the chlorine at the pool that I work/play at, my mom’s cooking, and my fiance working hard on our new house.
