Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Boys In The Yard

Fab Freebie: Boys In The Yard

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

After lots of love proclamations for NSYNC, NKOTB and more, random.org has survived boy-band-mania and crowned our winner as… Megan G (who says she loves the original boy band…The Beatles). Congrats Megan!

In the spirit of a week of cleaning & organizing, who could use a new lawn mower to tidy things up outside? Well, someone’s getting this puppy (valued at $339) thanks to Lawn-Boy. It’s self propelled, easy to start, and features a “Blade Stop” system that allows you to turn off the blades without killing the engine, which comes in handy if you’ve got a lawn frequently peppered with sticks or toys (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything).

Lawn Boy Giveaway

  • PRIZE: The Lawn-Boy 10605 Mower
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “OH BOY!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … your favorite boy band of all time. Are you digging the new guys (One Direction, The Wanted)? Or do the ones from back in the day (Backstreet Boys, NSYNC) still get you going? How about the really old school ones (NKOTB, Boys II Men, Menudo)? Or have you rolled your eyes at this whole question?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 2nd at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • 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 for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Lawn-Boy.

    Oh boy – has to be Boyz II Men! They provided a distinctly awkward moment when I was 12, belting out “I’ll Make Love to You” and my dad asked me if I really realized what I was singing about :)

    Oh BOY! I’m not sure if my favorites are categorized as boy bands, but a few that I’ve been listening to recently are Wolf Gang (The King and All of His Men), Train (Drive By) and Electric Guest (This Head I Hold). The song titles are in parentheses in case you want to check any out! :)

    OH BOY! I used to be a pretty hardcore NKOTB fan. My bedroom was covered (quite literally) with posters and I went to their concert when I was 11 with my “I LOVE YOU JORDAN” sign (hoping he’d see it and we’d live happily ever after).

    OH BOY!! I’m not a big bander myself, but my husband loved N*Sync. He still knows the entire dance to “It’s Gonna Be Me” and “Bye-Bye-Bye”. And yes, three drinks at a party and he can be talked into performing them!

    OH BOY!

    I’ve never been that into boy bands, and I think it might be my age… I was a little too young for NKOTB and a little too old for Backstreet, etc. However, the N’Sync rendition of “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” is one of my favorites, so I’ll cast my vote for them!

    OH BOY!!! So many great ones, it is hard to choose. I’d start a playlist with some old school Cool & the Gang, move up to NKOTB, and then wrap up with some Boyz II Men and ‘NSync. All sure to bring a smile to my face.
