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!

    My favorite scents vary by season and mood, but I love grapefruit, fresh hay, coconut, and scents with cinnamon. My all time favorite scented candle is a scent called “Bird of Paradise” by the Circle E candle company.

    My favorite smell is an old Body Shop room/linen spray called Vert de Bamboo. I’m hoarding my last bottle because it is long gone from their shelves (as in many, many years) but it still smells fantastic.

    I will be an oddball here… I absolutely love the smell of skunks. It’s eye watering good, haha. I think it’s partly because I have such bad allergies and I’m so stuffed up in the summertime that it’s one of the few things that can get through!

    Remember way back in the ’70s when the teacher would pass out dittos fresh from the ditto machine? All the kids would have those papers pressed to their noses. I’d still like to know what was in that stuff! Nowadays, I prefer vanilla, coconut, and cinnamon buns!

    My favorite smell is running by a clothesline when someone is hanging clothes to dry outside. Nothing more fresh, nothing that reminds me more of home.
