***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 have a super cool coffee table made from a five panel door that I love!
Annaliza R says
FAB ME!
I have a collection of owls scattered throughout the house. I started collecting them years ago before they became so popular. My very first owl was a solid wood trophy from a cross country meet in college.
Kate says
Fab me! I framed a piece of book paper from Papersource that has head shots of various villains and superheroes.
Kathleen says
FAB ME!
A fun splatter paint painting I did over my couch
Janelle says
FAB ME! I’m addicted to ‘window shopping’ on Fab. I don’t think I have anything quirky up in our home yet. Lot’s of nature inspired art though. I love it!
Maribeth says
FAB ME! A print from my grandmas house of the national arboretum in the 50-60’s
Alisha says
FAB ME! Or is it fabulous me? ;-)
We have a vintage art print of a map of WDW’s Magic Kingdom in our guest room. It’s bright and retro and amazing. We love it and hopefully our guests do as well!
Rachel says
Fab me! I have a wingback chair I upholstered in P. Kaufman fabric that has monkeys, crocodiles, and elephants mixed up with a flower motif….love the fab!
Jessica says
FAB ME!! Im’ in love with these chairs I bought for $6 each and reupholstered/painted in coral, grey, yellow and white.
Kelley says
FAB ME!
I will tell you about a colorful item from my past.. when I was in high school my parents (bless their little souls!) allowed me to paint a MURAL on my bedroom wall.. what did I choose? A psychadelic sunset over the ocean..complete with purple, pink, aqua & orange flames coming out of it.
Just recently my parents turned my bedroom into an office for my dad… *RIP* ridiculous yet colorful mementos of my youth.
Thankfully my taste has matured and in my current apartment I’ve kept the color to more contained areas such as my Anthro peacocks duvet!
Therese says
FAB ME! My first thought was my husband, but then I remembered our two metal sculptures. One is a cat and the other a dog. They have heads and feed, and the bodies are metal coils so they wiggle and bounce when you touch them. They really don’t go with anything, we just love having them around.
Abbie says
Fab me!
Kelly says
FAB ME!
I have an awesome canvas print that I had made of a picture from the Hobbiton set in New Zealand. So homey-looking and quirky! (Or nerdy, but I embrace it)
fran says
“FAB ME!” My red wall going up the stairs
Susan C says
Fab me!
I love my Japanese woodblock prints of women bathing. They’ve always been “hidden” in the bathroom, but some day I’d like to give them a more public spot.
Julie says
FAB ME!!! My favorite accent piece in my house is a huge jar that chips from a local potato chip company used to be sold in. It is a clear jar and it just says “chips.’ My favorite part about it? My dad has been a driver for the company for over thirty years and I unearthed this beauty while I was cleaning his garage for Father’s Day
monica scott says
FEB ME. I have this great hot pink chair in my office. I love it!
Debbi S. says
FAB ME!
We have an old (open and empty) bottle of champagne in our bookcase. It’s the bottle of champagne that we opened the night that my husband and I got engaged.
jenna says
fab me:
I have a pair of fruit prints that are bold and take up my entire dining room wall. The apples are a bright and deep red and the pears are a gorgeous green and yellow. They make me happy every time I see them.
Pam C says
FAB ME!
I have nothing fun or quirky in my home. This is exactly why I need to win. (Don’t you feel sorry for me?!)
Lindsey says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky/colorful thing in our apartment is the original paintings by my husband. He’s done them with bright colors and using really interesting mediums like snapping strings or rolling marbles on a canvas. It always comes out so great!
Jenn P says
Fab me! I use a lot of neutrals but love colored throws — so I have a small collection throughout the house. My favorite is rainbow alpaca throw I bought in a market in Peru.
Dan G. says
Fab Me!
The weird rooster key hook that the previous owners left in the kitchen. The kitchen had previously been home to many a rooster, all over the cabinets and such.
Kim says
Fab me! I love my son’s bright blue crib. We painted a white crib we had for our daughter and I love the custom look.
Carolyn says
Fab me!
I love the mobile that hung over my daughter’s changing table so much I never took it down, even when we stopped using the dresser as a changing table.
They’re little gold and silver coulds with rainbow ribbons “raining” out of them! They make me happy.
Michelle says
Fab me
Joy S. says
FAB ME!
I’m all about color in my place. One of the many colorful things I have is a huge kelly green mirror in my dining room.
Lisa B. says
FAB ME!
I love the bright blue whisk print I have in my kitchen.
Maria says
Fab me! Thanks!
Shelby says
FAB ME! My kids room is fun and bright. Thanks.
Shannon Y. says
Fab me!!!
Cecilia says
FAB ME!!!
I have an old hooked Hummel painting that my husbands grandmother made for his mother. She gave it to me last summer when I was pregnant with their first grand baby. It doesn’t go with anything in my house but its quirky and adorable and I love it!
Damaris Ramos says
FAB ME! The most colorful thing I have in my new house is my bright red high gloss pot that holds my dying herbs.
Everything else in my house is beige, so I need this money terribly.
Jess says
FAB ME!
We don’t have anything weird, quirky, or all-too colorful in our house … yet! We are just in the beginning phases of making our house look like a home, so this would certainly get us off to a running start!
Kelly G says
FAB ME! My favorite quirky item in our home is a green fish gurgle pot – I love it. It can be used as a water pitcher, a wine decanter, or whatever beverage you like. When you tip it to pour, you hear blub-blub-blub-blub as the vino (in our case) gurgles to the spout. So fun!
Marie says
FAB ME!
I have scrabble-themed artwork in the dining room–not particularly colorful, but it sure is quirky.
Elizabeth @wakeandgather says
FAB ME!
I love my antique yellow dresser that I use in the kitchen for more storage and -since it’s counter height- more counter space!
Jenny says
FAB ME!!!
My favorite colorful item is my collection of Fiesta wear! I love the mish-mashed collection I have in all brights. The variety allows me to change the colors on my table to suit mood, seasonal decor, table cloths/napkins and more!
Emily says
Fab me! Our citron couch in our living room- its super bright and cheerful!
Jeannie says
FEB ME! We have a super bright color scheme with kind of a Morrocan theme in our finished basement.. I guess it’s kind of quirky! Best I can do. :-)
Layne says
FAB ME!
Too many quirky fun things to name.
Jessica says
FAB ME! I have a bright granny square afghan that my great aunt made. It goes along the back of the couch and is mostly bright purple with oranges and pinks. Love it
Katie R says
Fab ME! I like quirky holiday decorations. Right now I have heart garland everywhere :)
Isabel B. says
FAB ME! One of my favorite colorful things at home is a huge abstract painting of buffalo in a grid that we inherited from a great uncle. It hangs over the fireplace and reminds me of him all the time.
Chris says
FAB ME! I’m so ashamed (hanging head)…my husband’s favorite color is taupe…I do believe we need a little bit of pep in our home. I’m imagining teal or turquoise…oh and maybe some red. I’m salivating just thinking of it…which is messy because I’m still hanging my head in shame… ;-)
Sandie says
Fab Me!! I am partial to dragonflys, have them in almost every room ;)
Heather says
FAB ME!
I have a cardboard mounted unicorn head that I took from my friend’s moving out garbage pile. The horn is very droopy, so I like to think of it as a unicorn with Justin Bieber bangs.
ruth says
Fab Me!
I have a great print of a cow in a suit :)
Ann J says
FAB ME! I have a print in my bathroom of a house merged with a tree. Its almost eery since it looks like a photo. I’ve had comments on why I have it, but it speaks to me about a home having roots.
Jenny E says
FAB ME! I love the red Buddha my husband and I bought in NYC’s china town for our 10th wedding anniversary. Still loving it 7 years later!
