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 have to say the Beatles – are they too old to be considered a boy band?

    My hubby would flip if we won this. He thinks Lawn boys are the best. We have an ancient one that works but has a leaky gas tank!

    OH BOY! I’m going to go with NKOTB because it’s the very first boy band I remember. My neighbors had NKOTB tshirts and beach towels and that made them really cool. I think I was jealous…AND I should add that we JUST bought a new house and have been joking with friends that we need to find a buy one get one lawn mower sale…this would fit the bill!

    OH BOY!

    Definitely a NKOTB fan back in the day. Although I admit to dressing up as the Jonas Bros for Halloween a couple years back (I was the cute one with longer hair…and yes, I’m a girl).

    Could really use that new lawnmower as my family has just bought our first “real” house (complete with yard!) after 5 years of condo living :)

    I was in love with NKOTB back in the day. Then in more “recent” days, a huge Backstreet Boys fan. Now the only “boy band” I’m into is the Zach Brown Band. ;-)

    OH BOY!!! This is an awesome give away!!! Especially awesome for me b/c my dad was so proud of the used lawnmower he bought for me and fixed up. It doesn’t work well at all; like I have to mow the lawn twice if I don’t want it to look all uneven and chewed up, but I feel like I can’t get a new one b/c my dad would be so disappointed!!! If I won one I’d be able to free myself of my terrible lawnmower and not hurt my Dad’s feelings all in one felled swoop!!! NKOTB all the way!!! Joey is soooo cute!

    OH BOY! You made me feel slightly old! Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC were in my college days. But NKOTB and Boyz II Men… that was in my middle school teeny-bopper years!

    We’re going to landscape our naked backyard soon (starting in a couple weeks) and we’ll need a new mower! We left our old one at our rental property.
