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!

    While I don’t wear perfume (makes me sneeze!), I like scents that are invigorating, like peppermint or eucalyptus, or soothing, like vanilla. Most scented candles don’t do it for me, but every winter I look forward to putting out a Thymes Frasier Fir candle. Those are amazing!

    My favorite smell is lilacs. I’ve always loved them. They are only around for a couple of weeks every spring, but my parents have probably 25 lilac bushes, so when they bloom, the whole yard smells like them & it is glorious!!

    Despite being allergic to mold, there’s something about a musty basement that I just kind of like. Not a creepy dark dank basement, but just a good old New England musty basement.

    I have a go to perfume- Nina Ricci. I wear it every day and get compliments on it on the regular. I will NEVER change. Stores have stopped carrying it at my malls, but I find it when I’m out of town or order it online.
    Also, my “weird” favorite smell is sharpie markers. Good thing I know it would NOT be healthy to sniff those all day long (or wear them as perfume.)

    Tahitian French vanilla candles. I have a set that I got as a freshman in college. Never burned them. Just set them out and smells great. Bytheway I’m 10 years post graduating. That’s how old the candles are and still going.

    My dad was a carpenter throughout my childhood so sawdust has always been a comforting smell. For better or worse it was usually accompanied by the smell of his having worked hard all day. To this day I am still fondly reminded of my dad whenever I pass a particularly ripe homeless man.

    Question; has random.org ever picked someone who did NOT include the assigned phrase (CHANNEL ME)? Did you pass them over?

    I absolutely love the smell of hardware stores. My favorites are the local Lowe’s and this old plumbing shop I used to visit with my dad. I think it’s closed now, but man I could have sniffed that place forever :)

    My favorite smell has to be the smell of my hub’s body wash coming out of the bathroom while he showers. It’s so soothing and refreshing. Well, it’s second to smelling his neck right out of the shower. Love to hug him when he’s all clean! :)
