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 gardenia’s, whether it is perfume or just the flower, but most especially when it is smelling the gardenia flowers at the entrance walking into my grandparents house…lots of fond memories doing that over many years!

    I used to work in a toy store, and there was this toy for babies that was an octopus with a different feel or texture or sound to each of its legs…and it smelled so delicious, like a soft vanilla. I could have brought that thing home with me.

    I am usually one for no smell at all. But if I had to smell something it would be my wife’s Chanel perfume or bacon.

    So my favorite smell would definitely have to be sweet grass. There’s nothing I enjoy better than being on the farm, cutting hay, and being able to take a deep breath and getting to smell freshly cut sweet grass. I don’t think there’s anything that can top that. Except maybe freshly tilled dirt. Haha!

    And I love the perfume oils from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, especially ones with tobacco in them. Odd, I know, but it works really well on me! Black Pearl, The Antikythera Mechanism and Hamadrayad are my top 3.

    I have a few favorite smells:
    1) The scent of sheets that have hung out on the clothesline to dry. I love to take them off the line and shove the bundle under my husband’s nose. He takes one big whiff and says AHHHHH…fresh!!!
    2) The smell of rain…
    3) A light spritz of my favorite perfume – Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture
