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!

    As a child, I used to ask my mom if I could ever have a blankie smelling like gas because I just loved this smell. Don’t anymore…

    I love the smell of freshly cut lumber. My parent’s remodeled a lot when I was growing up, so the smell of construction brings me back to my childhood.

    Favorite smell is walking into a barn full of horses. Most people smell poop-I smell the warm smell of the horses, leather from the tack, and sweet smell of hay and sawdust. It takes me back to my childhood.

    CHANNEL ME! My favorite odor is brewed coffee. Not to drink, just to smell. It reminds me of the house I didn’t grow up in. My grandmother made breakfast for my grandfather every morning, including brewed coffee, and then sent him off to work. My divorced, hard-working Mom only had time for instant coffee. Through adult eyes I now know that my single-parent household was the more functional of the two homes, but brewed coffee still reminds my of what life seemed to be like in a “Leave it to Beaver” home.

    One of my favorite smells is rubber, like new tires. That and diesel. Odd smells. And probably ones I wouldn’t want around all the time.

    The smell of linden tree blossoms is my favorite smell–they only last a few days each summer, so it’s a fleeting seasonal thing. I also love dryer sheets, though they kind of make me gag at the same time, and clementines.

    I love the smell of a campfire soooo much…blame it on my memories of going to the campsite with Nana and Pop-Pop when I was a little girl! :) That’s where my favorite sound came from too…walking on gravel. It’s crazy silly, but I just love it :)

    My all-time favorite smell…. is the smell of the laundry aisle in the grocery store! Just walking down the aisle and smelling all of those fresh, clean, laundry soaps make me want to wash my clothes just to have the house smell like that!!
