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!!!! I gotta say I was never into the boy band scene. The Monkees? Beatles? Sure. NKOTB B2M, nah. And I grew up in the 80’s. However, I know several men around here (my Dad and Husband) who would love it if we had to stop borrowing a mower every week.

    I rolled my eyes at first glance, then thought back to junior high when Boys II Men were awesome. I’ll never forget jamming out to them!

    Oh boy! I’m not a huge fan of boy bands, but, if I have to choose, I have to say NKOTB. They were fantastic when I was little. Now? Not so much.

    OH BOY! a new lawnmower would be great! My Husband and I just bought a new house and moved in this past weekend. We really need one of these! I’d have to say my most fav. current boy band was N*Sync, but my first loves were Boyz II Men:)

    Danny, Donnie, Jordan, Jon, and Joe…all the way! NKOTB was definitely my elementary/middle school love.
    But even before that, I fell for The Monkees via reruns on right after school. My very first concert in 1987 was Weird Al opening for The Monkees! So craaazy!

    Gotta be honest, I never really got into any boy bands. I might like a song here and there but that’s about the extent of it.

    OH BOY! I’m not sure this counts–but I love The Black Keys. They aren’t really a “boy band” per se…but they are guys and they have a band…..
    And we just moved into a new house than has way more lawn that I’ve ever dealt with before…so a gas powered mower would be awesome!!

    OH BOY! The “Boy Bands” from my youth are considered “classic rock oldies” to those of your generation… so I guess I’d better just roll my eyes and pass on that!

    When most girls my age were fawning over NSYNC or BSB, I was obsessed with…The Barenaked Ladies. Yeah, I was sooo out of the loop. But at least I can still enjoy those albums as an adult.
