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 a HUGE backstreet boys fan. So much so that I still know that Nick Carter’s favorite holiday is Halloween. Now I’ll commence my walk of shame….

    NKOTB! I saw them in concert when I was in kindergarten (with my Mom of course). Also NSYNC was all I listened to freshman year of HS.

    OH BOY!

    The timing couldn’t be better for this giveaway! My husband and I just moved into our first home, and we could REALLY use this lawn-boy! My favorite boy band of all time would have to be Boyz II Men. I even lip-synced to one of their songs when I was in fourth grade (Motown Philly) with my friends. Four of us dressed like boys, while the other four dressed like men. It was epic.

    I was mildly (moderately, ok extremely) obsessed with NKOTB. Jordan Knight, to be more specific.

    And I might have attended a Backstreet Boys concert way beyond my expiration date on boy bands.

    Can’t say I’ve ever gotten into boy bands in general. If I had to name one though, it would definitely be a tie between the Beatles (who only make it in the sense that they were a band whose members were all boys) and The Jackson Five.

    OH BOY! Since they were my first concert and the walls of my childhood bedroom were papered with their faces (pages torn from Teen Beat, etc.) I’m going to have to say NKOTB.

    OH BOY!!! I’m going to officially say that I am rolling my eyes at this whole question, but unofficially say Backstreet Boys. :)

    Also, I want to say that my husband is strangely obsessed with Lawn Boy, and I have no idea why. (Our lawn mower was found on the side of the road with garbage, but works fine except that its not self propelled.) He would be thrilled to have a new Lawn Boy mower. :)
