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! Does Marky Mark count since he was with the funky bunch? I mean really his abs should make up for the non-boy band status. Otherwise I’d have to go with Boys II Men!

    Probably Hanson. I spent hours daydreaming about marrying Zac. I know, I know, everyone was into Taylor, but I wanted Zac.

    Fun fact, Isaac was totes the non-hot one back in the day, but do yourself and google him now…he just needed to be put on the five year plan, FOR SURE!

    OH BOY! Not sure if they’re considered a “Boy Band,” but I’ve always been a HUGE fan of the Pet Shop Boys!

    As for the mower, what perfect timing! My dad and I were just reminiscing about the trusty old Lawn Boy mower he used to have. I just bought my first home, and this lawnmower is exactly what I need!

    When I was a girl growing up in the 70s/80s I really don’t remember too many boy bands and I was way too old for NKOTB, NSYNC etc. etc but I did like the song Candy Girl by New Edition if that counts

    It’s extremely hard for me to admit but I went to an NSYNC my senior year in high school and LOVED it! His name escapes me right now but the “Thong Song” guy opened for them! What a night!

    Mine might be Color Me Bad…even though they didn’t last long. My husband, well…here is his reply: “hmmm… do I go retro with the NKOTB? Or new edition because of how cool BBD and Bobby brown were? Or do we give nsync the props simply because JT is awesome? I’m gonna rock… the beatles.” He might like music a little bit! ;)

    OH BOY! Definitely NKOTB – I wrote countless notecards as a middle school student trying to win some local radio contest to get the boys to play at our school. Of course, we didn’t win, but the memories of cramping fingers trying to win this is pretty hilarious!

    My favorite boy band is 70’s era Osmonds. Now and then my sisters and I like to bust out a little “Crazy Horses” or “One Bad Apple” to get the party started.

    “OH BOY!” was I in love with NKOTB back in the day. I was sure I would marry Jonathan. Nevermind the creepy age difference we had going on.
