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

| By John Petersik | April 30, 2012 | 5,093 Comments

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! I am proud to say that I never fell down the boy band trap. I was listening to Smashing Pumpkins and the Foo Fighters as a tween.

    “Oh Boy”…Do I need this!!
    We’ve been borrowing our neighbors mower for the past 2 summers and really, it’s getting kinda pathetic.
    Favorite band? There’s too many. Been enjoying Maroon 5 lately though.

    We could use a new lawn mower- we just moved into our first ‘real’ house which means ‘real’ yard work ahead! No more townhouse living for us!

    I was a little too young for NKOTB and a little too old for NSYNC! I think I missed out on a teenage right of passage!

    I’ve never been much of a boy band fan, but I’m of the NKOTB generation, so I guess I’ll go with them.

    There will always be a special place in my heart for NKOTB, but I think I obsessed over Backstreet Boys and NSYNC more. Still love listening to them when scanning the radio now and then.

    I was never into boy bands. My friends and I were so “cool” that we decided anything that was popular we wouldn’t like. And so were incredibly uncool as a result, haha.

    Favorite boy band of all time is New Edition. C’mon with lyric like “Ronnie, Bobbie, Ricky and Mike… if I love a girl who cares who you like?!?!?” there is no competition.

    Oh boy! Do the Monkees count? They were definitely my first love and no boy band ever caught my ear like them when I watch reruns of their show in the 80’s.
