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 is right! ‘N Sync. Ok, the secret is out. In my maroon Ford Probe, ALONE is where I’d crank “It’s Gonna Be Me”. I liked their other songs ok but that one really got me belting those pointed words with a very much lower than average ability to sing. So guess who the winner of this mower will be. It’s gonna be me.

    OH BOY! I liked Boyz II Men for sure, but I knew every word to NKOTB’s Hanging Tough album so it’s got to be them. Nothing beats the fanaticism of a preteen girl.

    Um, not really big into many boy bands, but, I do like a few bands that are all boys – Muse is one of my favs.

    Our lawn mower broke at the end of last year…right now we run around town borrowing various people’s mowers. :( And we can’t afford a new one right now. Please please please let my luck be great today.

    I grew up with Boyz II Men, but I was really into music by the time Backstreet Boys came around and use to make dance routines at summer camp to all their songs. My friends and I were so cool!

    I really need that lawnmower too. I am on my second hand-me-down now and it has a hard time handling my very thick grass.
