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 was never much of a boy band groupie (favorite band since elementary school has been Sublime), but I will admit that I had a tape from the band Aqua (Barbie Girl anyone?!) in the early days, and I may have played a few Spice Girls songs on repeat…before I knew any better.

    Lol. I choose the Beatles :) For “boy bands” I briefly liked O-Town, ha. We were on a family vacation back when they were still shooting ‘Making the Band’ and they happened to serenade me (a.k.a. they warmed up) on the roof balcony at the Disney restaurant. Standing that close to a bunch of hot guys singing “to me” was amazing as a 14-year-old :)

    “OH BOY!” I could really use a new lawn mower! I am 24 (so I totally grew up in the N*Sync, Backstreet Boy, and 98 Degrees era and trust me…I liked them all) and just bought my house last August. I have a great yard and my parents bought me a mower which I’m very thankful for but it’s electric and my yard is a decent size and boy does it get in the way! I live by myself and my boyfriend isn’t too into mowing so it’s all on me to get the job done. I can’t afford a better mower and would LOVE to win one! If I were to win, I would donate my old mower to someone who could use it!

    John and Sherry, you are SUCH an inspiration. Thank you so much for this blog!

    “Oh Boy”! Never really got into the boy band craze. I mean I like a cathy pop song here and there like everyone else, but never dedicated myself to a single boy band,lol! Would love this mower though. We have a small yard, but the bag on the back is a plus and would be a nice luxury, if you think lawnmower bags are luxurious,lol!

    I would die for a new mower mainly because the last time I started mine the pull start snapped off and whipped me in the face resulting in 5 stitches.

    I am a classic boy band lover. Nsync and BSB is where its at!! Although I cant forget about the ever so sexy 98 degrees. Was it just me or did we only listen to hear Nick Lachey!?
