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!

    I do love me some ceramic animals, but I think the quirkiest thing in my house is a framed sign that says “CRAP. We’re awesome.” It’s pretty much how my husband and I feel on a daily basis. haha- I wish.

    Fab Me! We have a bright red, Betty Boop wall clock in our kitchen, that is shaped like a traditional wind-up alarm clock. Unfortunately the ticking noise really bugged my (sensitive) husband, so we removed the batteries and it’s just hanging out now, totally non-functional…heh

    Fab Me!!! Mine thing is colorful: when we first moved into my house, I spray painted the vent hood in our kitchen bright red (it was originally that old appliance-y creamish color). Made a big difference on the cheap (to me at least).

    I love Fab! I bought almost all of my christmas presents there.

    We definitely are fans of weird art. I have a 2 headed skeleton litho sketch, bossons head statues, and some creepy garage sale art. Our home is a treasure trove of weird.

    We’re pretty traditional so the quirliest we have is a table with a pineapple base (it’s colonial so still pretty traditional for a fruit based furniture piece).

    My husband and I like to collect and frame posters from the concerts we attend; our NOFX poster is probably the most off-beat, with our 20th anniversary Blink-182 poster featuring a maniacal-looking pink bunny a close second.

    I love that most of the rooms in our house are more muted with light blues and tan, and then out of nowhere you head to our guest room and it is full of bright colors/patterns/art! It always catches people by surprise!!!

    I love our crazy super shag rug from Anthropologie that I got on a major sale. Our two year old came into the room after we put it down and rolled around on the rug for about 30 minutes, so I think it’s his favorite crazy thing in the house too.

    FAB ME! I have these two bright, BRIGHT yellow wing chairs in my living room. They flank my fireplace and mantel. My mom had them made in the early 80s and even had the forethought to buy enough fabric to have them reupholstered when they would eventually become faded. I wasn’t allowed to sit in them when I was young, but one day in a mischievous mood, I snuck around them and put my initials on the back with a pencil.
    They’re definitely the driving design force in our living room!
