Fab Freebie: A Literal Fab Freebie

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys hit the 10,000 entry cap to giveaway within 24 hours, so you must love some Fab as much as I do (or perhaps you just like $500). Either way, we’ve crowned a random winner and it is… Whitney (who says “Most of my apartment is muted gray, yellow, and blue, but my kitchen has bright red baking dishes on display.”) Congrats Whitney!

I’m a recent addict to Fab (I own more t-shirts from there than I probably should admit). So imagine my reaction when I got an email from them offering to do a – wait for it – $500 Fab gift card giveaway for you guys. Their site includes items marked down between 10-60% from retail prices across just about every category – home, accessories, art, kitchen, pets, kids, clothing, jewelry, etc. And everything is selected with a discriminating-but-not-too-serious design eye. There’s an emphasis on quirky, weird, and colorful items within their sales… which means there’s a lot of fun to be had while spending the five hundred beans that are up for grabs.

Fab Dot Com Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card toward Fab
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “FAB ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …what’s something weird, quirky, or colorful in your home that you love? Is it a bold art print in your entryway? An armchair with a happy pattern in your living room? Or several dozen ceramic animals placed throughout your house… not that we’d know anything about that.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 30th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States, Canada, and much of Europe (click here for a specific list of countries)
  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

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 Fab.

    Oh, I’ve never been the first on one of these.

    I have about 50 mirrors in my dining room – I guess that’s quirky. Also, extremely chic in my opinion.

    My boyfriend came home from work one day with a cardboard sign that he’d bought from a homeless person with a great quote on it: “One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.” It is so beautiful in its simplicity, and no one else has it!

    i have always wanted a deer head (not real obviously) and finally found the right one when i went to nc this summer. it’s small and mounted on a oval wood plaque. thanks to you guys i was going to paint it black or white (and to match my silhouettes) but ended up loving it natural. one of my favorite things in my house.

      The “not real” qualification is not necessarily obvious! We never had taxidermied animal heads in my house, but I definitely know people who do! (grew up in WI) Glad you like you non-real version, though. :)

      lol t! i guess you’re right and it’s not that obvious. as a native manhattanite I don’t think i’ve ever been to someone’s house with a real taxidermied anything. but after reading the blogess i sure would like to! lol.

    I have a charcoal drawing of a donkey which used to hang in my grandparents pool house in England. When my grandmother moved to the US three years ago, she gave me the picture. The donkey is a little sad looking (like a more realistic Eeyore), and the print itself isn’t in fantastic condition, so my husband gave me a weird look when I got so excited about it, but I smile every time I see it :)
