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.

    The quirkiest thing we have in our house is an orange, life-sized glass head. My husband got it years ago and doesn’t remember from where exactly. Funny thing is, I saw the exact same head in blue last weekend at the flea market! But I figured one glass head was enough so I didn’t pick up the second one. I have transformed our orange one into a lamp and I put a fedora hat on it. Very quirky for sure!

    I love bird-themed accessories! Most of my Xmas ornaments are birds. Lots of bird jewelry, too. Bird mugs, bird hangers, you catch the drift.

    And in each of my girls rooms there is a small colorful ceramic bird (one in hot-pink, one in bright blue) that chirps when you pass by…

    We have a coral stone fireplace surround that goes floor to ceiling. I always felt the large expanse of fossilized stones needed something… One day my daughter left her collection of tiny gumball machine bugs on the floor in front of the fireplace. At first it was a way to teach her a lesson for leaving a mess but they looked so natural in the little nooks and crannies that they remain there today, fifteen years later. The effect is very subtle and so people don’t see them at first. The best part, watching the expressions as they finally notice the “infestation”.

    Our lounge has cushions with funny little green birds on that I love there is also a vase with blue peacocks on it in there… I’m thinking I’m going to build on the theme and make it the quirky bird (maybe a ceramic bird is what’s needed next!)

    I have neutral decoration in our living room (tan couch and loveseat, dark brown and light tan throw pillows) so that with all the toddler stuff around, it looks less cluttered. However, There is a bright turquoise throw pillow with shaggy chenille (don’t know how else to describe it) texture on the couch that I love. I’ve recently added 2 more throw pillows in bright turquoise with an airplane screen print. The toys will have to hide under neutral camouflage from now on. Bring on the fun colorful pillows!
