***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…

Amanda says
FAB ME! My entire house is a random collection of quirk…
Meredith Dagen says
Fab me! The wierdest thing in my house has to be the picture I painted at a local Sip-n-Dip class my girlfriend and I took. A local artist picks something for us to paint and instructs us step by step on how to paint it. In the end the painting is suppose to look like hers. Well the artist chose a passion flower for us to paint. I love the colors they are bold and match perfectly with my bedroom decor. Well my girlfriend’s husband made the comment that the flower we painted looks like a Vajayjay and now that is all I see when I look at it. So my wierd thing in my house is a painting of a Vajayjay(passion flower). Don’t you just love it when guys can ruin a perfectly nice picture for you!
Carla says
FAB ME!
I love displaying natural elements in our home, which some people might consider quirky. A large piece of a redwood tree burl, which my husband beautifully sanded, lives on our mantel. Other items throughout our home include a bowl of shells we collected, a rock fountain, and pinecones.
Erin M says
Fab me!
I have a very quirky message holder. It is about 10 inches tall with a sheeps head and tail and four wooden legs with sandals on its feet but its body is chalkboard material and it has a piece of chalk tied around its neck. I love it and it has a place of honor on my kitchen island.
Rachel Tschida says
Fab Me! I love my embroidered hanging from Vietnam. I bought it from a street vendor in Saigon because I loved the colors. But my family thinks it looks like a Grandma smoking weed– not exactly the look I was going for– but the memories associated with it are just too good to not have it hanging in my living room!
N Shirley says
FAB ME! Such a cool site! My current favorite is “The Little Prince” book ends that I got at a thrift shop. I have them in my guest room since my little prince (4 years old) and princess (seven years old) sleep there when they stay over.
Barbette Jensen says
FAB ME! We have a very large oil painting of my mother-in-law in our living room. She is a Olympic diver silver and bronze medalist. It is a painting of her by the pool in her swimsuit. It has the best aqua colors in it and well I just love her and her history.
Emily Drake says
FAB ME! I love my cow and duck paintings in my kitchen!
Mette says
FAB ME! Definitely my cat – she is both weird and quirky as well as gentle, a bit shy and so in love with me (she thinks I’m her mother LOL)
Anne Marie says
FAB ME! I love squirrels. I have several of them on display throughout our house. They just make smile! :-) Some may say I am squirrely for loving them soo much.
Joanna says
FAB ME!
We have this bright yellow, red and blue carnival mask from the Dominican Republic with crazy spiky horns. I’m not sure how they let my husband carry it home on the plane. Yes, his name is Santiago and he lives above our tv!
Mayan says
fab me please!! :)
Katy says
FAB ME!
I love our desk – it’s an old Victorian dining room table that I found on the side of the road :) After some TLC and a couple coats of paint it’s FAB!
Anna says
FAB ME….. weirdest and most treasured item is a golden pig
Lindsay says
FAB ME! I am in love with having a little touch of quirky in my home. Recently my husband and I have taken to randomly placing little Playmobile sets around our house. We have a rock band near our stereo and a cyclist on our piano. They’re so tiny that you don’t necessarily notice them, but they have so many fun details and they make us smile.
Jane C says
Fab me! I love my bright green floral pillows. They definitely cheer up our family room.
Carla says
FAB ME!
Margaret says
FAB ME!
We have a painting of our dog that is incredibly life-like and completely ridiculous since it hangs above our bed and assumes obsession with our canine. And don’t get me wrong, I’m obsessed with my canine, but it’s very comical to have a victorian-style painting of a dog : )
Emily W says
FAB mE!
I made the word YUM out of yarn and nails in our kitchen in bright colors. It’s an eye catcher and I love it!
Megan G. says
Fab me!! We have a quirky orange guest bathroom – but it always makes people smile!
Kate Sigler says
FAB ME please! I have the dollhouse my grandmother made me (including every piece of furniture and the needlepoint rugs) in our living room. It looks exactly like our house!
Dana says
FAB ME!
I have a wicker elephant tray side table I picked up at an area consignment store, Junk Yard Gypsies.
Kortney says
FAB ME! :-) I have a love for owls. Cookie jars, decorative ceramic owls sittingon a shelf, and even a ceramic owl lamp! :-)
Lauren says
FAB ME! We have bright red curtains that I LOVE!
Laura says
FAB ME! I framed old piano sheet music from my great grandparents house.
Jacqui says
FAB ME! i need to add some color or quirky – our house is too cream……
Johanna Frauenberger says
FAB ME!!! I found a pair of carved & painted vintage wood planks at a flea market in Savannah, GA — carved & painted in the form of a boldly colorful whale and fish. They are absolutely charming in my daughter’s eclectic nursery.
Fiona says
Fab me please, so that I can buy kitsch that compliments our newly re-upholstered (in a classic blue and white brocade) mid-century living room chairs.
Emily Anne says
FAB ME!
We have lots of quirky art around our apartment. I love beings surrounded by it because it reminds me not to take things too seriously.
Darthrader says
FAB ME!
I have a home made “it’s a major award” leg lamp from A Christmas Story that my in-laws made.
Mittens says
FAB ME!! Whenever I see anything at Goodwill made out of a beautiful fabric that speaks to me, I answer the call of the wild by bringing it home with me. The Goodwill bargain may start out as a blouse, skirt, or bathrobe, but it ends up as as a one-of-a-kind reupholstered chair seat, framed art, or a throw pillow with pom-pom fringe.
Kelly McK says
FAB ME! Unfortunately nothing too quirky yet… Hopefully this giftcard could change that!
Shannon says
FAB ME!!! We have a bright orange/rust wall in our living room and just painted our bathroom bright yellow and blue!
Tiffany B says
FAB ME!
I love my bright accents in each room. Bright red, blue and green :)
Laura says
FAB me, please!

TheSpringRose says
FAB ME
All of my husbands Simpsons collectibles!
Kathryn says
Fab me!!! I love our throw pillows, they’re bright and full of patterns that don’t seem to go with much but they’re our favorite!
J Dub says
FAB ME! I have a major award up year round in my house: the leg lamp from Christmas Story.
Kristin Clutter says
FAB ME! My favorite thing is this white moose head (not real…it’s resin).
Janet says
Fab me! I have a few odd painted metal chickens from Portugal that I just love. That are very well mannered and live in the kitchen!
Sarah says
“FAB ME!”
a collage of starry night that I am making out of magazine photos that I have cut into tiny strips would be my funkiest fun art piece right now! That or the throw pillow covers from India that my friend brought me back that I have hanging on my walls instead :)
Heather says
Fab Me!!!!!!!!
Emily says
Fab me!
We have a bright flower print in our bedroom that I picked up at a local art fair which I love.
Hope says
Fab me!
Our family has lived in several countries over the past ten years, so the quirky thing I love about our home is that pretty much every item on our walls has a story behind it or a memory. Nothing is just for looks. Our home is US – quirky family that we are.
Elle says
FAB ME! I have a funky neo-traditional pillow in my LR. It came from FAB:)
Jenni says
FAB ME! I have really been into owls lately and so you can find those all throughout my home – measuring cups, salt and pepper shakers, throw pillows, figurines, ect. I just think they are the cutest!
Jen says
FAB ME! I have a large ceramic squirrel sitting on our fireplace… I absolutely love squirrels, so while it may be odd to a stranger, most people who know me get why it is there!
