***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.
- 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…

Laura says
FAB ME! I love my bright red and teal print from etsy that says “Today I will be happier than a bird with a French fry.” It’s a great reminder to wake up to every morning!
Nicole says
FAB ME!
It’s not something purchased, but something made. A bright blue wall with the world painted on using magnet and chalkboard paint. I’ve said a million times I would paint my whole world that color!
Mrs. Hutch says
FAB ME! The quirkest thing in our home would be the kids peanut ball that is known to hang in all rooms of our house. It is bright blue and can hold all three kids at once. I am still trying to figure away to incorporate it into the decorating scheme since we are still in the infancy of making home “home”.
Jamie says
Fab me!
I love the giant creepy owl print in our bathroom that my husband’s old roommate found at Goodwill.
Amanda Jean says
Fab me!
I love our blue and white patterned guest bathroom!
Ashley says
FAB ME!
I’d have to say my dog is the quirkiest/weirdest thing in my house! haha
Kathleen says
FAB ME! I’ve got a metal animal thing – jumping trout over a doorway, geckos in my bathroom.
Anna says
Fab me. I have an old leather chair I got from an estate sale. It is from the fifties. It iis beat up and my mother-in-law hates it but I love it. It is so comfy and built like a rock and I think about the old professor who used to own it and probably sat in it to read books just like me!
michele says
FAB ME!
hmmm. my husband (i think in a misguided attempt to make me feel at home) bought a seriously creepy fake cat for our first home together. it was one of those things where it looked like the animal was sleeping peacefully and i’d catch it out of the corner of my eye and freak out constantly. did i mention that it was made of some sort of real fur?
mr creepy fake cat finally lost a limb this past year and thus i was given permission to throw him out in our recent move and THAT? that was fab.
Monique says
Fab me!
Please!
Andi says
Fab me!
kelly t says
Fab me! I have these awesome paintings by a local artist called “the chicken man” that are on pieces off old wood and he paints chickens and Palmetto trees. Some may not appreciate the artwork, but it’s a local thing and I love it!
Laura Reynolds says
Fab me! I am closing on my first house this week so I am excited to buy some fun and quirky things.
Ashley Bahney says
Fab me!
And I love my neon green dining table
Darcy says
Fab Me! The quirkiest thing in my home is this weird partially stuffed fabric print of a cockatoo I found at the goodwill. It’s in muted, pastel colors and it’s so strange but I love it. Speaking of love, fab is the best and I would be over the moon if I won.
Elizabeth Farris says
FAB ME! I just picked up a teal colored mini colander from TJ Maxx. It is the perfect size for fresh berries and it makes me happy every time I open my fridge!
Teri says
Ooh – I’ve been looking for one of these for a whir now! Guess I’m going to TJ Maxx :-)
Ella says
FAB ME! I have a cat shaped pillow (much like the purple puppy pillow in the picture above) that I found at Salvation Army a few years ago–best 50 cents I ever spent on home decoration!
Christine says
FAB ME!
I am still searching for the perfect pops of bold color in my house. I have lots of calm color, but not much bold yet.
Naomi Parker says
FAB ME!
.. We have got a pair of two, impressive paintings by my bus friend who painted for a time. They have nearly every color in them and dominate any room!
Holly West says
Fab me!
Nirja says
Fab me!
Christy says
Fab me!!! Well, now I feel boring cause I can’t think of enough quirkiness in our house! But I love my big frames filled with my son’s colorful finger-paintings in the living room!
Cat says
FAB ME! A hexagon floor file rescued from a dumpster when my college were renovating. The whole place was made out of hexagons…really, and we called the tiled entry way “the cobbles”…and then some mean guy tore up the cobbles and put down Lino. So I took a cobble from the dumpster! I love it.
Nirja says
Fab me, please!
Erin Miller says
FAB ME!
I’ve been in an awesome old house for a little over 2 years and I tend to get antsy. Ill start tearing at wall paper or painting something. One day I curiously lifted the carpet in a rarely used second living room and I was excited to see that it was in beautiful condition. So I single-handedly rolled the literal ton of carpet. When I got to the two doorways on the other side of the room There were two huge patches taken out of the floor and I was left with giant plywood “runners”. I didn’t want to put the carpet back down so I decided to paint colorful patterned “rugs” on the patches thinking that would be easier to look at until I can recover the floor. Now I kind of love them!
Karla says
FAB ME! I love my giant orange antique arrow. It’s old and super unexpected at the top of our stairway inside our house.
Susan says
Fab me!
I love my owl vase, given to me by one of my best friends. It is filled with tall orange reeds, it always makes me smile!
Sarah says
FAB ME! I love the tank model my boyfriend started when he was 13 and finally revisited to finish when he was 28. In true Sherry fashion we spray painted it gold and now it’s on display!
Heather Schoegler says
FAB ME! Probably one of the quirkiest things we have is also the most colorful. It’s a 8’x4′ canvas painted by my cousin. It’s an enlargement of Picasso’s old man with a guitar painting. We have it above our fireplace in our great room. It’s different but we love it.
Diane @ Vintage ZEst says
FAB ME! I love my yellow ceramic egg carton. It moves around depending on where it’s needed. It’s kind of like Where’s Waldo!
Kelly says
FAB ME! There was a custom framing store that went out of business so I purchases a bunch of the frame samples, glued them together and now I have a little 3 dimensional art piece.
Kira H. says
Fab Me!! I have a bold Blue Dog book on display, I wish I could have more but my husband is super traditional and won’t let me ;)

Natasha R. says
Fab Me!
My office (which doubles as the spare bedroom) is covered in dragons that I’ve found, bought, or been given throughout the years. It’s a little odd, but they seem to fit right in with all the books!
Michelle DuPuis says
Fab me! I still have my teddy bear from when I was a kid. I used to keep it on mine and my husband’s bed, but moved it to my son’s room after he was born.

I have an original original watercolor by children’s book illustrator, Lee White. I purchased it at an estate sale for a whopping $2! The subject is a girl with a swan sitting on her head and is currently my favorite piece of art in my home.
Aimee says
FAB ME! I have a collection of elephants made out of different materials. I just bought a cool red ceramic one yesterday. My favorite color and my favorite animal. Too perfect.
