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 a lot of “normal” smells, but here’s a weird one – When I was a kid, I used to love going with my dad to Pep Boys because it smelled so strongly of tires there.

    My favorite smell is freshly plowed earth. I live on a farm, so when spring comes that smell is sooooo intoxicating — it makes me think of fields and flowers and fresh vegetables. mmmmmmmmm! :)

    I’m probably (wait, I know I am) killing brain cells, but I love the smell of plastic. It reminds me of my brand new dolls and toys as a kid. aaaaah! Since you guys rally so hard against VOCs, I thought this would be a especially guilty pleasure to share. I know its bad. The toy that came in my latest Cheerios box most definitely smelled amazebad plastic-y.

    The smell of my husband’s deodorant makes me smile. I know, it sounds cheesy. But there’s something so comforting about laying down in bed after a long day, with his arm extended for me to rest my head on, taking a deep breath, and catching a whiff of his oh-so-fresh Degree as I cuddle up to him.

    I’m drawn to the scents of the perfume my late grandmother used to wear–Jean Nate. I don’t wear it myself, but I have a perfume locket of hers I will never refill with anything else, lest it won’t remind me of her as much.

    I love Donna Karan’s Be Delicious Fragrance. It’s my fav.

    If we’re talking non-fragrance-y…then for sure it would be the smell of horses. You definitely can’t put that into a candle.
