***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…

Holly says
FAB ME! I have a plant problem…I keep bringing them home with delusions of a lush airy space filled with greenery. Unfortunately my house doesn’t get enough sunlight and despite my best efforts, quite a few have died on me.
Krista says
FAB ME PLEASE!
I gave my husband a portrait of our dog for Christmas. It’s my current fav piece of art. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great prize!!
Julia says
Fab me! My favorite weird decorative thing is my giant WWII Dalek poster that my sister got me for my birthday. (You remember that episode, right? No?)
Casie says
FAB ME!
Right now, my house is filled with colorful and cheery rugs. I think it’s the easiest way to make a space feel polished. Here’s a link to my son’s nursery that has my absolute favorite rug in the house!

fab me!
bright pillows.

FAB ME! I have bright orange pillows on my very neutral armchairs in my living room. Brightens up the whole room!
Lea says
Fab me! I may own a gnome or two… ok, 8. But it’s not as creepy as it sounds – I swear!
Kandice says
Fab me! We have a paper mache zebra head on hour wall that raises some eyebrows but how fun he is for us.
Sarah H. says
FAB ME!!!
I have a framed picture of fish from a 1920s German zoology book that’s pretty cool.
Jessica says
FAB ME! I have a collection of photos from Costa Rica in aptly colored teal orange & hot pink frames in a grouping on the wall of the living room. Love it!
Ashlee says
FAB ME!
I too have many ceramic animals, you’re not alone!
Pamela @ Pink Hammers & Sippy Cups says
FAB ME! I’d have to say the weirdest thing in our house is our plywood sub floors and the huge ladder leading to a hole in our ceiling (to our attic) as we tackle some mad renovations!
Heather says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest thing I have in my house is probably my husband… but if he doesn’t count, then I’d say its the (giant!) arcade machine that he built himself.
Susie says
FAB ME! I don’t think we have anything quirky in our house or really all that fab either…. Which is why we “need” that giftcard! :-)
Elise says
FAB ME!
I love the antique harpoon that is hanging on our living room wall. It weirds some people out, but it’s a family heirloom and I think it’s fantastic!
Clare says
FAB ME!!!!
The most colorful thing in our home would have to be the circus striped ruffle curtains my mother and I just finished for my daughter’s playroom. They rock!
Stephanie says
FAB ME! I have a sunny yellow loft space. Everything else is pretty tame.
Minchen says
FAB ME! Our favorite quirk is our trinity of custom paintings from Etsy. The squirrel drinking coffee, pug eating a doughnut, and the squid smoking a cigarette!
Brandi says
FAB ME! Probably my quirky collection of items from New Orleans. Some are gaudy, but I love looking at all of it and being reminded of a city that I love.
julie m says
FAB ME! We need some bold items in our home to jazz it up!!
Anne Marie says
FAB ME!
Jenn says
FAB ME!
I have a mask that was made in Haiti on a banana leaf!
Maude M. says
FAB ME! That sounds conceited. He! He! Haw! I love FAB! I can find a home for anything in this young couples casa of ours.
Adrienne says
FAB ME!!!
I love my wild floral print chair that I have yet to find the perfect spot for!
abbie says
FAB ME! I love my Dwell bedding my daughter’s room. It’s bright and cheerful and makes me very happy!
jenn from b-more says
FAB ME!
I have a turquiose hall bathroom. Everybody says “whoa” but I adore the color!
Kelly says
Fab me! I’m absolutely in love with the large globe that sits front and center on our dining room table. It serves as reminder of where we have been, where we long to go, and just how vast this world really is. Bonus- it’s the best conversation starter among our dinner guests!
Rena says
FAB ME!
I used to have a 70s style pixelated-esque graphic red, orange & pink loveseat, sofa & chair combo! Loved that set!
Toni says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky thing is a pair of bejeweled elephants.
Jen says
Fab me
Love our ceramic “antique” owl salt and pepper shakers
Lindsay says
Fab me! I have a life-size glass sculpted ram’s head (courtesy of glass blowing husband) mounted in my baby’s room, who will arrive this May. Hope it does not scare the baby, because it sure looks fun.
Jennifer says
FAB ME!!!!! I need quirky color in my house so FAB ME!! LOL
Jenna says
Fab me! I would have to say my favorite piece in my apartment is my glass door yellow bookcase. It’s a cheery pop of color which compliments the white walls/wood floors/lots of beautiful natural light in the living room. Also, the story behind procuring it was a saga to say the least–makes me appreciate it even more!
kathy from ct says
fab me
Stephanie Dobson says
FAB ME!
I have a few antique chairs with fun fabric on them. They make great accent pieces!
Sarah Felton says
Fab me!!! We have a wooden tribal mask that hangs in the living room…kinda freaks out our visitors :)
Traci says
FAB ME!
I have a glass head on an end table in my living room. I don’t think we’ve had a single guest who didn’t remark on it. I’ve thought about surprising my family by dressing it up with wigs or hats on occasion just to see how they react, but haven’t done it as of yet.
Becca says
FAB ME!
I love my shelf full of bright and colorful fabric that I use to make my quilts! There’s a good chance you could catch me staring at it more than once per day..
Jenny says
FAB ME!
I love my vintage 1970’s metal peacocks wall art that I spray painted white. Contemplating a makeover this summer for them with a bolder color – maybe peacock blue!
Abby3 says
FAB ME!
I don’t know if I have too many truly weird things, but quirky yes :) I have five or so of my grandpa’s old bow ties (he wore them all the time) that I pinned to a shadow box and hung above our wine cabinet in the dining room. It’s a fun, personalized touch that catches people’s eye every once in awhile.
Maggie says
Fab Me. One wall of my living room is full of graphic prints on colorful corrugated roofing.
Ammie says
FAB ME! Not too quirky, but I love the pig shaped cutting board hanging out in our kitchen.
Stephanie says
FAB ME!
I have an outdoor garden decoration in my bathroom. It’s a ceramic bird! How could I let him go outside?
Kimberj says
FAB ME!!!!!!!!!!! I have a huge self portrait that a 15 yr old artist did in school. She had to portray herself as some type of monster. Most girls chose to be a vampire while Claire decided to be Frankenstein. She caught all the humanity, sadness, wistfulness that Frankenstein possessed. I was amazed to see a 15 yr old be able to catch such emotion in such a subtle way. I am so proud to own FrankenClaire. She is fabulous!!!!
Carin Young says
Fab Me!
I have these cute little ceramic birds I painted white. They perch on a driftwood horse and an embroidery hoop sculpture I made and sitting perched up there they look so cute like they’re looking for spring to just round the corner!
Bethany says
FAB ME!! My Nate Berkus Tortoise Shell!! Love that thing!!
Melanie says
FAB ME!!!
I have many things that I love in my house. One of them is a painting of flowers (it’s very bright, sort of abstract) that my Dad painted for me for my birthday a few years ago.
