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! When the weather is cold, we have a basket of knitted “booties” in the entryway of our home. As people take off their shoes, we offer them one of the many color options of booties to keep their feet warm. We keep our house a little cool. :)

My mom collects elephants, so that’s why I purchased it, actually 2, one for her and one for me, because I couldn’t resist it’s cuteness! It’s so whimsical and adds a punch of unexpected color! Thanks for the great giveaway! Hope to win!

    FAB ME! When we moved to our house, I hated the super modern, glass sink and it’s crazy waterfall faucet in our half bath. It just didn’t “go” with the rest of the house. Now, after some tweaking/painting/accessorizing the bathroom and the rest of the house, I actually love it. It fits in better, visitors always comment on it, and it’s kind of a conversation piece:)

    I have these recliner chairs in my living room that I LOVE but my husband hates. I wanted them the minute I saw them in the store AND they were on sale! They have a bold pattern, with several colors that allow me to change the look in the room up easily. It’s a total bonus that the chairs are streamline but recline!

    Love Fab. I got a print of a giraffe blowing a big pink bubble from their site. Also quirky? Maybe.

    FAB ME! One of my favorite pieces in my home is a big red mirror in our entryway. It doesn’t really match anything in the apartment, but my no-idea-how-to-decorate partner sweetly got it for me one Valentine’s Day and I remember his generosity every time I look at it.

    One of my favorite things in my house is my gigantic lime green couch. The thing is over 6 feet long, and is the first thing you see when you walk in the front door. I’ve had a lot of people say that they would never think to even purchase something like that, but that for me and in my house it fits. I guess I’ll take that as a compliment! :-)
