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.

    Oh Boy!
    Throw me a bone here; my sister was way into NKOTB therefore their music was being played in the house. So by default, I know more about them than any others ( that’s my story and I’m stickin to it).
    I prefer mowers and tools..

    Oh Boy! do we need this lawn mower!!!. I have always paid others (yard monkeys), yes that is their business name, to mow my lawn, but now that my irish triplets (!) are big, strong, teenaged boys, I feel that they must step up and start doing the yard work. Because we have always had yard monkeys, we do not, in fact, own a lawn mower. My three boys, OH Boy!, cannot wait for us to get a lawn mower (not), so they can begin their mowing careers. And, is there any question?…it must be Men at Work :)

    OH BOY!!!! Now I’m going to show my age but I loved the original boy groups (The Beatles, The Beach Boys, etc.) They didn’t dance so much as they inspired swooning young girls to dance in the aisles. And I have to admit that I did enjoy the New Kids on the Block as a thirty-something….

    OH BOY! The Backstreet Boys is where it’s at! My friend and I were the founding (and only) members of our Backstreet Boys club. It was held under her basement stairs and we cut out pictures of them from BOP magazine and did mini-reports on each member. Brian was a dreamboat! Overshare? ;o)

    OK, I have to be honest and say the traditional boy bands never rocked my socks, so I’ll have to go with my tried-and-true favorite – the Dave Matthews Band!

    Hey, they’re all boys and they’re all in a band, so that should count, right? ;-)
