***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)

Fab Me!! I luv my quirky pottery collection – some soft, unglazed vintage pieces like McCoy, USA, Hull and Roseville, some glazed Asian pieces like Foo lions/dogs and pagodas. Most have animals or nature elements. I don’t like huge collection displays, so they’re everywhere in small groupings, accenting bookcases, tables and dressers. I just discovered Fab this year and get inspired weekly! great giveaway, so thanks to them.
April says
FAB ME!! I have a bright yellow trellis rug. brightens my day every time I see it.
Christie says
FAB ME!… I thrifted my couch, which has this very quirky, bright, vintage floral pattern atop a neutral background. I have a love hate relationship with it because it limits what I can do in the room so much, but it’s the most unique piece in our home.
Sam G says
FAB ME! I think the quirkiest and colorful things in our house are the drapes in my son’s room. I made a pacman board design (design is white on a green backdrop) into fabric from spoonflower. He has a gamer themed room. The curtains just look like patterned curtains until you really look and notice the pacman board. Love them!
Shannon says
FAB ME!!
The weirdest thing in my house is probably a print of a cat dressed up as a sailor. I just love it though :)

I collect two main things that we seem to have busting out of the seems out of our house – anchors and lobsters, or items that have either of these on them. We have pillows, bottle openers, candle holders, stained glass decorations, coffee mugs, shirts, bags, etc.
Megan says
Fab Me!
My favorite quirky thing is a photo of one of my dad’s Angus calves. She’s looking straight at the camera and super sassy! I love it because it reminds me of home.
Kimberly says

I have a large white ceramic elephant head hanging above my bed that i just can’t get enough of!
Emily Woods says
FAB ME!!!!! My favorite decorative “thing” in my home would be the framed love letters my husband and I wrote to each other on his deployments to Afghanistan. From far away the matted letters just look like scribbles.. but they hang over out bed and remind us daily how grateful we are to have each other! MUSH!!!
Christine says
FAB ME!!

Kristen says
Fab Me! I have a handblown glass light from italy hanging over my dining room table. I love it so much! When we sell our house it is coming too. We will take it down before putting the house on the market because I could not stand to part with it.
tami says
FAB ME!
we have this huge print in our living room that everybody can see, but nobody seems to notice the actual content of the print, which sort of amuses me. its this scene where a big man’s head with long hair is coming out of the ocean, big waves, etc., and he is eating a ship and the people who were on the ship. its HUGE and gorgeous and in an awesome frame, and it looks great in our house, but it is kind of scary. i just think its funny that most people sort of glance at it, but dont seem to notice what is actually happening. its this one: http://www.octopus-vs-squirrel.com/blog/2009/2/27/jordan-crane.html
Vicky says
FAB ME PLEASE! :) Love the huge world map we snagged outta an old national geographic mag and ‘antiqued’ it by using instant coffee and built a rustic frame for it out of pallet wood!
Helen says
Fab me!
We lack anything funky in our house. This would be a perfect way to start ;)
Andrea says
FAB ME! WHOOO HOOO
Krys says
FAB ME!!
I have a 12″ tall blue bear that lives in my bedroom. It’s a replica of the 40 foot tall blue bear (whose proper name is “I see what you mean”) outside the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver. It’s beautiful, and one of my favorite decorations.
Leigh Anne L says
Fab Me!!
Courtney says
Fab Me! Just finished painting the nursery dresser a bright bold green

FAB me, please. An odd ball item I have is a 1980 babydoll in an outfit made out of an old sock…just can’t banish him to the landfill.
Kathryn says

I love this colorful portrait that we had in our living room. Not only is it beautiful, it is a conversation started because the portrait is of a real life work of art that is located in the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas. Nothing compares to the real thing, but the colors are fun and add some spice to our home.

Tori says
FAB ME!
Please! :)
I have an obsession with aqua / teal / turquoise. I am powerless before accessories and home goods in that palette!
LaurenM says
FAB ME! I love the bright red walls in our downstairs bathroom. It is such a bright pop of color when most of our other rooms are more neutral.
caseyj610 says
FAB ME!!
Right now, I’d say the quirkiest items in my home are a plush catfish toy and a plush bass toy. There were Christmas gifts to my 8 month old daughter, from my husband’s best friend. Can you tell they like to fish a little?!
Debra V says
FAB ME!!

Kate says
FAB ME!
My husband and I have quite the collection of owl paraphernalia. Our college mascot is an owl, so we’ve been collecting owls for a while. And then owls became trendy so it was easy for people to buy us more owls – its gotten a little out of hand, actually.
Vanessa says
Fab me!
I have that awesome cabinet in the entry, it was first sight love! Asian style, all black with two colorful kimonos painted on the doors. thanks for giveway!
