Random.org has done it again and selected our winner as… Chelsea (who loves the smell of coffee in the morning). Congratulations, Chelsea!

We’re not offering perfume this week—just the satisfying scent of hard work and fresh projects. This giveaway comes courtesy of Channellock, a trusted tool maker celebrating 125 years of crafting tools in the United States. To mark the milestone, they supplied a compact but very useful prize pack: a five-piece Tool Roll, two ratcheting wrenches, and one professional laser level. That adds up to eight tools in total, all chosen for someone who likes to build, fix, or tinker. Whether you’re tackling weekend projects or assembling a starter kit for a new homeowner, these tools are practical, durable, and built for real use.

• PRIZE: Channellock Tool Roll #3, two ratcheting wrenches, and a professional laser level (estimated retail value around $173)
• HOW TO ENTER (historical info): Comment on the original post with the phrase “CHANNEL ME!” and optionally share your favorite scent or smell
• BONUS QUESTION: Tell us about your favorite smell. Is it a signature perfume or cologne? A comforting candle fragrance? Or something more unexpected like burnt popcorn, gasoline, or egg salad? We loved reading your answers—smells tell interesting stories about memories and preferences.
• GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Wednesday, August 10 at 8pm EST (this giveaway is no longer accepting entries)
• NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
• PRIZE SHIPS: All fifty United States
• USUAL DETAILS: One entry per e-mail address was permitted. The winner was selected at random and announced as an update to the original post. Thanks to everyone who entered and shared stories about the scents that make them smile, wrinkle their nose, or grab a memory.

We want to emphasize that this giveaway was not a paid promotion; we hosted it to say thanks to our readers and followers. The tools pictured and described were provided by Channellock for the giveaway. If you like contests like this, keep an eye on our giveaways page for future opportunities and full rules and FAQs about how we run them.

Local Bonus (historical note): For readers in the Richmond area, there was also a separate local giveaway on our Facebook page offering two tickets to a local designer auction. Local or regional entries like that are occasional extras to celebrate community events and local design scenes.

This giveaway highlighted simple pleasures: the pride of a completed project, the satisfaction of using a well-made tool, and the small sensory details—like the smell of coffee in the morning—that make daily life enjoyable. Even though the entry period has closed, we hope the prize inspired you to think about the tools you use and the scents that matter to you. If you didn’t win this time, don’t be discouraged—there will be more chances in the future, and we appreciate every reader who stops by, comments, and shares a bit of themselves. Thanks again to everyone who entered, and congrats once more to Chelsea!
