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’m going REALLY old school–the Beatles are my all-time favorite boy band. Who can resist John Lennon and Paul McCartney, not to mention Ringo and George! Michelle, I Want to Hold Your Hand–so sweet! But I have to admit, that Justin Timberlake is a cutie, so NSYNC is right up there, too!

    Oh Boy!!! Probably rolled my eyes at this question. Not because I think the question is ridiculous, but mainly because rolling my eyes to me is like a laugh. When I picture boy bands, I remember junior high history classes with a young lady who had some disabilities who brought her NKOTB dolls to class with her everyday. Thanks for the memories. :)

    OH Boy I’d love a new lawn mower. My goats do a good job, but my mower sounds like one of the machines out of Charlie & the Chocolate factory! OK, and since when is NKOTB “old school”? I’d call them ‘classic’ :) They are still THE BEST.

    OH BOY! By far, my favorite boy band is NKOTB (I even had the Christmas album!)… although, Boyz II Men is a super close second and I definitely still rock out to N’Sync & Backstreet on occasion (apparently I am a big dork.)

    Oh boy!!! I was (am still…though it’s hard to admit!) a N’Sync fan! That Justin Timberlake just makes me happy. Now I love how hilarious he is when randomly appearing on SNL! (PS a new lawnmower would be awesome as we just figured out that ours needs a new transmission…bummer)
