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 perfumes…my favorite company is Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (they make an amazing amount of perfumes, inspired by everything from literature to comic books, myth to the time Paris Hilton was in jail–scents called “Privilege” and “Pruno”). My favorite scents are usually clean, although I also like rose scents, herbal scents, and this once perfume called “Plague of Frogs” (it smelled very green, not surprisingly).

    My boss brought me back an oil fragrance in a pretty bottle from Egypt. I think it’s Gardenias or something like that. I love it, but use it sparingly, because I can’t afford to go to Egypt to refill it!

    … smelly. no kidding, just kidding! favorite parfume was 24 Farbourg by Hermes and the Wedding Day scented candle from Yankee Candles. Then I developed a fragrance allergy. So now it’s the smell of foods that remind me of childhood summers spent traveling the world: chocolate cake baking; cukes,mangoes, watermelons as they are being cut; warn cinnamon raisin cookies etc

    I love, love, love candles and sachets that smell like food. Cookie Dough, Pumpkin Pie and Christmas Morning from Yankee are my favorites. Probably because I don’t often allow myself to eat such things…
