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! My favorite was a Korean boy band that was wildly popular when I lived there in ’97. The band’s name was H.O.T – yes, with just two periods! Apparently the name stands for “High-five of Teenager”. Um, yeah. But, in my defense, they were awesome!

    OH BOY! My favorite boy band of all time? That’s a no brainer: Backstreet Boys! I was a young adult with two little kiddos when BSB was in their prime. I danced around my house many a time with my babies in my arms; they loved it as much as I did! Four years ago when BSB started touring again, I took my at-the-time 16-year-old daughter with me to see them in concert. They were AMAZing…with their boy band moves and all. I was definitely transported a “few” years back in time. =)

    Every time we mow our lawn

    We don’t wanna fix it again

    It’s gonna be me..

    OH BOY! i got into the backstreet boys pretty hard. but then i saw n’sync on the disney channel special, and all bets were off. i played “no strings attached” into the ground. and that crazy video where the room is spinning, so great. i can still do the dance.

    annnnd now i have officially recorded my love of boy bands on the internets for all the world to see. all for a lawnmower, which i also desperately need. well played, young house love.

    I liked BSB, NSYNC, O-Town, but my all time favorite had to be Hanson! I just knew I was going to marry Zac.

    As you can see, my dreams did not come true, which is why I need a fancy lawn mower. I have to mow my own lawn since Zac never came to rescue! ;-)

    OH BOY, I was “too cool” and “too punk rock” to like boy bands in my day. That’s why I totally made my niece copy all her Backstreet Boys tapes for me and sneak them to me so I could listen to them in my car when no one else was around.
