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!

    Hmmmm, never much into boy bands… unless The Beatles count (perhaps the original boy band?)

    We’re moving from an apartment building to our first house, which also means our first back yard to mow!

    I had three Boyz II Men cassette tapes (actually, I think I still have them), so I guess they would have to be my favorite (I only have one NSYNC and one Hanson tape/CD).

    I’ve got to go with NKOTB. I was always in love with Danny…not because he was the cutes (let’s be real, people), but because no one liked him. Maybe it had something to do with the monkey-esque ears and face. ;)

    OH BOY!! Used to dig the boy band NKOTB when they were super popular! I would pretend Joey was my boyfriend and my sister selected Danny as hers. Lol great and funny memories to think back on this morning…..however I have to admit I did roll my eyes at the thought of boy bands now…just not digging the pop star boy groups anymore. But more power to them!!! :) thanks for another great giveaway opportunity! You guys are awesome!!!

    OH BOY! I love them all but I think I’ll always be a little partial to the New Kids. As a child of the 80s they played an instrumental life in my development. Joey forever!

    OH BOY!! I wasn’t obsessed with a boy band, but my oldest daughter was/is. And it was…HANSON!! MMMMBop played in our house all the time!! And she STILl to this day goes to see them every year when they play here (Dallas) and also participates in their walk before their shows. I think she even has met and spoken with Isaac. She says now their music has grown up with them.
    She was also obsessed with N Sync (we even did the bye bye bye dance camping one time during a group talent show) and Joey was her favorite boy with them.
    Finally, she is STILL obsessed with a girl group too–the Spice Girls (can you tell her age by all this?). She still follows their independent careers also.
    THANK YOU!! Sabrina Riggs

    They don’t exactly classify as a “boy band” but it was a group of men whom I was obsessed with when I was like age 7-12ish. POISON!!
