***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…

FAB ME! I have always LOVEd cats and began collecting a few wooden, ceramic, stone, metal cats and people started to notice and then I would receive them as gifts for various occasions. I’m a little concerned about becoming known as a ‘crazy cat lady’ so I am going to edit my collection when I move next month. ;p
Erin says
FAB ME! Quirky is my place’s middle name… it’s one giant hodge-podge of quirk. My favorite though could be my pig-faced molcajete that lives proudly on our kitchen island :)
Amanda T. says
FAB ME!

Kimberly says
FAB ME! We have a lot of African art from our travels there.
Kristen says
FAB ME!
Its a tough call but the weirdest item might be the bright yellow (we’re talking BRIGHT here) Budda that I got for $8 at Marshalls. I was with my Mom who told me it was possibly the ‘ugliest thing you’ve ever purchased’ but I love it so it sits proudly in my living room.
Natasha says
FAB ME!!

FAB ME!! I love my fun drapes in the kitchen with the bright, yellow, chevron print!

Kristy O says
FAB ME!
I have an yellow elephant slipcovered loveseat in our front room.

I’m a knitter so I have lots of colorful yarn around, I keep it sorted by color in big glass vases so I can always see my fiber rainbow!

Melissa Breau says
Fab Me!
I don’t have much quirky in my house (yet) since we’re still getting settled in a new place but in our bedroom is a piece of custom art I had commissioned a few years ago that I love that’s essentially of 2 trees with a green sky.

FAB ME! I have a quirky painted cat figurine that I am obsessed with. I have no idea where I got it from, but am always on the lookout for another!
Shannon says
FAB ME!!! I guess my favorite is the bright Red wedding kimono hanging in my daughters bedroom from Japan. My brother picked it up for her while in the military and it acts as our “Clara’s photo project”. We’ve got 6 years worth of watching her grow so far and I love it (son has a Minnesota Wild Jersey in his room for the same purpose)
Jill says
FAB ME!
Despite people telling me I would hate it/grow tired of it/ or it would some how magically make us angry all the time, my hubby and I have had a red bedroom since we moved in…Still love it!
Jade says
FAB ME!
at some point i started collecting turtles, almost unconsciously… i have five or six of them now, a very small jade turtle, a glass-and-bronze turtle lamp, a turtle made of glazed fabric scraps, a welded turtle from bits of sheet metal.
i love them!

Fab me! The new pillow I just bought from ikea – i’ve been wanting it for over two years!
Kathleen says
FAB ME! I have bold patterned framed prints above my bed, and I just love them!
Amber says
FAB ME!
We have a funky print hanging in our entryway. It’s a very subtle reference to the game “Tetris”. Not everyone would notice the reference, but it’s perfect for my nerdy husband.
-Ambaaaaaaaa (how you said my name yesterday)
Jen N. says
Fab me!
I have a few too many ceramic owls/birds scattered around the house.
