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.

    Backstreet Boys all the way! Nothing is better than a song containing a cell phone conversation in the middle. Golden lyrics like: “I’ll say again you’re dropping out my battery is low”

    HaHa, you guys kill me with your “old school” frame of reference. My senior year in high school, the #1 boys band was the Bee Gees with their Saturday Night Fever soundtrack album. Ah ah ah ah stayin alive, stayin alive :)

    I loved NSYNC and my younger sister loved Backstreet Boys. My parents must have hated when we were both in the car arguing over which group was better.

    “Oh Boy!”

    I have an older snapper just like this and it rules the yard! It’s getting a little aged and needs its newer, stronger cousin to join its ranks.

    NSYNC for sure. It helped to have a much younger brother who thought they were the bees knees as well.

    OH BOY!

    Choosing just one boy band is hard. I grew up in Orlando, home of the boy bands in the 90s. I would have to say my favorite is N*Sync. Joey Fatone went to my high school and we got a bunch of sneak peaks to music videos and special access to the guys before the were really big.

    Our lawnmower just died, as in yesterday. We’re getting married in August… last night we were toying with the idea of registering for a new mower. This would help a lot!!

    Oh Boy…well I’d have to say NSync, their Christmas jam is off the chain and they had great dance moves. However, number two (not sure if they are a boy band or not) I’d say would be Hanson, mmmbop anyone?!!!
