***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 definitely collect Miss Piggy-related stuff from dolls to books to Christmas ornaments to glassware. I have loved that pig since I was a little girl. She’s just so fabulous!
Annie says
FAB ME! We have a bright orang bench in our entryway that came from my grandparents’ basement. It matches nothing color-wise and everything style-wise.
Annie says
That’s *orange ;)
Roberta says
FAB ME……There’s lots of quirky in our bedroom, a yellow ceramic com, fun colored, chevron pillows, and a teal and gold damask lamp shade!
Laurie S. says
FAB ME!
I have a big collection of tiny square canvases hanging up, each of which was painted for me by a family member or friend before I went off to school. It’s very colorful and a fun reminder of all of my favorite people! As I make new friends, I just add them to the gallery!
Madi says
Oh please, FAB ME! :)
leslie says
Fab Me!!
I have 3 bold prints in my breakfast nook.
Amy L says
FAB ME! Probably the strangest thing I have is a pillow covered in black velvet silhouettes. : )
Inez says
FAB ME! I love my gray ceramic hippo cookie jar, that I use as a book end. It even has a little bird sitting on the hippo’s back!
mis says
Fab me! I have a lotus flower made out of seashells. Thanks

Kati says
FAB ME! My favorite piece is a hand painted black and white picture of my son.
Jen Findlay says
FAB ME!!!
I realize now that I need a bit more quirky in my home – while I want it, I think I’ve been scared to pull the trigger. The quirkiest things are in my kids’ rooms, the “safest” rooms for bold color combinations, vintage decor, and creative wall art. Time to bring the quirk to the grown up rooms!
Casey says
FAB ME!! I just painted a hand me down chandelier a bold blue and I love it!!
Jennifer says
Fab me!
I have a red, three foot number 5! Love it. Five in our family.
Ashley L. says
FAB ME!
I have a large pinecone I painted green and glued bells to it to make it look like a Christmas tree. I haven’t found a place for it to live when it’s not Christmas though…
kelsey says
FAB ME! I have a series of small wooden cat sculptures in various rooms. The first had been my grandfather’s, and since, whenever I’ve seen similar ones, I’ve added them to my collection.
sarah says
FAB ME! Let’s see – I have a blue and white porcelain goose in my kitchen that isn’t my style but I’ve kept it b/c my dad’s nickname for me was Sarah Goose and I think of him every time I see it.
Natalie says
Fab Me!
For something a little quirky, I collect statues of Mary or Our lady Guadalupe and have them scattered in different places though out our house. I love my collection!
Kelli Braun says
FAB ME…
I’m a diehard grey fan and love decorating everything in grey, white, and black, but I do have one colorful piece of art hanging in our master bedroom – a piece from Parvez Taj that I am absolutely in love with! It’s the statement piece for our room.
Grete says
FAB ME! I don’t think this qualifies as “weird”, but definitely “colorful”: we love our two paintings by Phong (a Vietnamese artist) – just check out the COLOR he uses – it’s SO dynamic in person, especially on his large-scale paintings!

Ann says
FAB ME!! I love my bright knife set!
Tiffany T. says
Fab me!!! One colorful and quirky thing that I own..Ok well it’s kinda silly but, I have a little pig statue with pink pants and gold wings. Every time I see it I can’t help but smile, it’s just so dang precious!
Kait N. says
FAB ME! We have this metal stool that we found on the sidewalk. It was covered in various paint splashes, and we left it, because it’s so quirky and fun! It now serves as a desk stool.
Nina says
Fab me!
I loooove my owls -ceramic, silver, glass, paper or fabric-doesn´t matter!They make me happy :)
Tami says
Fab me! I love my owls.
Erin says
FAB ME!!! Beautiful woodcuts, intaglio prints, and screen prints collected through the years! I’m a lucky gal with many artist friends.

Melissa B says
FAB ME!
My quirky item(s) are the fun prints that I have scattered throughout my house
Jennifer Fogerty-Gibson says
FAB ME.
I do love my cowboy lamp, but I’m probably most proud and attached to a $10 Craigslist dresser I got two summers ago. It was homely but with great potential. It is now a turquoisey green. I sanded it, painted it, sanded it, painted it, then sealed it with Verathane. It ended up looking better than anything else I have tried to “manufacture cool age” to with paint. I heart it. Plus, I found amazing knobs from Anthropologie clearance for $2 each and it’s truly special.
Marisabel says
Fab Me!!! I guess I have to say I have far too many boxes. I like them because they provide so much storage. I guess it’s a love hate relationship.
Jacqueline says
Fab Me!!! I love my bright lime and cerulean glazed stone hanging lanterns I got in Crete on my last deployment!
Laura says
FAB ME! The weird, quirky, wonderful thing in my house? That would be my husband…..
Caitlin says
FAB ME! And my favorite weird item in my house is a plaster Horse Head that I hang above my couch. I adorn him constantly with new hats for the season. I love him so!
suzanne says
FAB ME!!
Definitely have a few too many owls, but I love them!
Pamela L says
FAB ME! My quirky design is actually treating my car like a mini house by putting a faux fur zebra pillow and fun blanket in the backseat (for roadtrips with friends who need naps) and a sumo wrestlers bobblehead on the dashboard!
Tarah says
FAB ME!
I own a piggy back in the shape of a traditional piggy bank but this pig is wearing a bright pink floral dress, high heels, earrings and a tiara. My husband absolutely hates it! :) To be fair it is rather hideous and was originally bought for me as a joke. But I’ve had it for years now and have grown rather fond of it. Also I think it looks quite colourful and quirky on my vanity.
Lacey says
FAB ME! My favorite quirky item is a Diego the cat pillow from Urban Outfitters on a bright red chaise lounge in my library.
spiffi says
FAB ME!!
the oddest thing in my house (I think) is this weird little porcelain bird…thing – it’s like someone painted a picture of two little birds on a branch, framed it, and then turned it into a 3d porcelain sculpture. It’s quite hideous and NOT my style – but I remember it hanging in our kitchen when I was young, and so it proudly hangs in my kitchen now.
Stacie says
FAB ME!
My favorite bold thing in our house is my lime green craft room. Many people comment on how bright it is, but I love it!
Ziva says
FAB ME!
I love our bright yellow ottoman in the living room – it makes me smile :)
Stacie says
FAB ME!! My favorite bold thing in our house is my lime green craft room. Many people comment on how bright it is, but I love it!
Megan says
FAB ME!
I love my 1969 vintage newspaper from the first landing on the moon that’s framed in my room with the title “Man Walks On The Moon.” It’s a touch of both nerdy and vintage!
Julianna says
FAB ME!
Please!
Melanie Koch says
FAB ME!
I recently did my very first DIY project on canvas – and I love it!
