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.

    I was never into the whole boy bands thing. I’m more of a country girl so any cowboy will do for me. :)

    OH BOY! Gotta give some love to the Backstreet Boys! We went to a concert back in high school, and started the wave all around Rupp Arena (University of Kentucky). We were THOSE people.

    And, I’d have to go with the giant eye roll on this one.

    Also – our lawn has reached hip height and I’m thinking that’s not how it’s supposed to look… the neighborhood cats are enjoying pretending to be lions in the Serengeti… so this machine would come in very handy…

    I’m pretty old school and still loving All-4-One, Boyz II Men and New Kids. Although, N*Sync is still tearin’ up my heart. Ahhhh, the good old days. I’ll never forget N*Sync’s first televised concert on Disney.

    Rolled my eyes…BUT…we just had a wrestling match with our lawn mower on Saturday, it didn’t start, and after tinkering around for a couple hours we bit the bullet and went to buy a new one. Being el cheapos we opted for the $160 push model, which was a huge mistake for our uneven yard. The front is littered with roots and was pretty much impossible to get through (we even lost a wheel)! Crossing my fingers on this one :)

    My all-time favorite boy band has to be my boys here at home. My hubby rocks the drums, 23-month-old son is always on the tambourine (he gallops while playing- it’s his thing!), and my 9-month-old son sing-screeches! It’s awesome! :)

    OH BOY. A new mower has been on the list for awhile now!

    As to the question, yes, eyerolling commenced. But I was instantly transported to senior year of high school when we had a blast one afternoon with Tiffany lipsynching contests, Debbie Gibson look alike competition, and transformed Twister’s red/green/blue/yellow combo to be the faces of NKOTB’s Donnie/Danny/Joey/Jordan/Jonathan. (And yes, I had to look that up because I could only remember three of them.)
