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.

    FAB ME! I have a ridiculous (so says my sister) picture I found at a thrift store for $0.85 that I love – it’s a picture of a nut shop and everything in it is about nuts! Nut bread, nut shop sign, nut horse & buggy! It’s awesome.

    Fab me please! My item of quirk is a metal cut-out (small) of Mickey Mouse flipping the bird that my now-deceased father made at some point. It makes me smile and think of my goofy and irreverant father, probably up in heaven making off-color jokes. Cheers – CT

    I have a giant ceramic elephant on a bookshelf in my living room. My grandmother has a love of elephants and one day during a visit at her home I mentioned how much I loved one of them. She then proceeded to take it off her shelf and said, ‘it’s yours.’ Adorable, in style, and a family momento. What more can you ask!

    I have a really cool pink and white print arm chair in my bedroom but sadly, my cat has claimed it so I barely get to sit in it. Also, the wooden legs seem to bleed onto the carpet so I need to keep papertowels under the legs. I found it at a re-sale shop.

    I have a set of bull horns sitting on an end table (which is covered with a doily). They belonged to my great-grandpa’s prized bull. I was given them after my grandpa passed away in 2011 and cherish them as a reminder of my family’s agricultural ties.

    Fab Me! I have a disco ball in my living room as well as a Leprechaun house. The ‘Leprechaun House’ was inherited from my grandfather – it’s a little log cabin on a tripod platform. I sat a little hand-made leprechaun on a tiny log on the “porch” of the cabin, hence a Leprechaun House :)
