***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 love collecting colorful plates! I have a plan to hang them on the wall, just have to convince my husband that it’ll look great!
Melissa says
FAB ME!
I have a mid-century modern dresser that I purchased in college and painted bright yellow. It’s made three moves with me, and when I recently moved in with my boyfriend, I knew I wasn’t ready to part with it. Somehow, I convinced him to love it to, which is awesome, because it makes me really happy.
Robin says
FAB ME!! I love my little, (newly signed) blue, “ceramic” bulldog, Rufus 2.
Erika says
FAB ME!
We have a bright teal guest room with pops of yellow and a white decorative wall. Love it!
Diane says
FAB ME! I usually have some seasonal little craft things out, that I made years ago, which really don’t go with my house – like a Valentine’s Mop Doll.
Laura says
Fab me! Our favorite quirky things are our black and white birds on branches curtains from Ikea, and turquoise spray-painted night stands!
Krista says
Fab me! I have two little Kazakh figurines that my husband brought back from me during his years of world travelling. They are hilariously cute – squat little bodies, smiling eyes, and *tiny* little knitted caps for their bald heads made by me. Heaven knows what their intended use is, but in our house they watch us from our bookcases in front of a handpainted Turkish plate.
Rob says
FAB ME
A bright patterned rug in my living room is my favorite item.
Rebecca says
FAB ME! I keep forgetting to put away my 2-foot-tall plush Bumble that took up two bookcase shelves during Christmas. Maybe he’s meant to be on display year-round? :)
Kimberly Arvizu says
Fab Me! I love my collection of colorful lanterns all over the place…I may or may not have a mild lantern addiction! Love them for color during the day and the way they glow with candles at night!
Erin B. says
FAB ME!
I picked up a funny fish statue from Home Goods a few years ago and he has gone with me to every new apartment. The guy’s a trouper.

Jamie says
Fab Me!I started a family wall in my entry way and right in the middle is a big framed picture of an (illustrated)otter in a boiler hat and green vest. Otters are my favorite animal and I love that he’s up on the wall amongst family like he’s an old uncle or something.
Elizabeth says
FAB ME!!!
I like to use funky colored accesories in my living room to spice things up, right now I have a stack of dark turquoise books and vase amongst of turquoise items.
Laura says

FAB ME!
My husband has a metronome he brought back from a trip to Utah. He found it in a thrift store somewhere in the mountain! It’s awesome and we love it!! :-) We use it from time to time to make music!
Laura says
Fab me please!! Our favorite quirky things are our black and white birds on branches curtains from Ikea, and turquoise spray-painted night stands!

FAB ME!
My friends give me a bad time about my love of a set of quirky, beautiful teapots.
brenda says
Fab me!
Great stuff
Laura B says
Fab me!
I love our colorful curtains that I made throughout the house, a fun green paisley print in the living room, crazy bright florals in the kitchen, etc., they make me smile every time I see them.
Amy says
FAB ME! I have an awesome side table with funky geometric designs carved into the legs. My neighbor scored it from the local vintage shop!
Chrisandra says
Fab me! I love our vintage blue sideboard
Chrissy says
Fab me! The red gumball machine in my kitchen is colorful and quirky. (Plus visitors tend to enjoy it!)
Debi says
Fab Me, please! We like using the cast offs from our old farmhouse that we find in the outbuildings – cast iron heat registers as wall art, porch posts for table legs, etc.
Amber Southern says
Fab Me!
My kitchen is teal and I love it!
Sherree Hartwig says
“FAB ME!”
My weird item is a cow skull with horns. Our living room is deco’d in a Western theme. We found him at a Flea Market. My animal is an antique gold horse lamp with a fake leather shade.
Alla says
FAB ME! I love bold colors. Our brightest piece is two canvases that my husband and I painted that hang over the couch in the family room. They’re geometric and every space is a different color.
Traci says
“FAB ME!”
About 6 months ago I took all the books off my bookshelves in my living room and put them back on the shelves in color order so now I have a nice rainbow of color on my shelves. It looks fun!
Jenny says
FAB ME!
I love my collection of quirky art prints!
Sandy Ryland says
FAB ME!!
We have a “handprint picture” above our dining room table, which is a rectangle we painted white, then did all of our hand prints on it in various colors. My husband, then, framed it out, so people think it’s an actual picture, when really it’s just some paint on the wall! We love it. Colorful and family art!
nichole says
fab me!
Julianna says
FAB ME! :)
There are flying pigs hanging from my bedroom ceiling. Like 10 of them. My favorite ones are sparkly :)
Lauren says
FAB ME!
I love the snail sculptures I have on my mantle. A local artist made them out of scrap metal parts (their shells are bike gears and ceiling fan engine parts!)
TRICIA says
FAB ME!
I SPRAY PAINTED AN OLD TIN STAR A BRIGHT TEAL BLUE/GREEN AND IT IS AWESOME!! MOST OF MY HOUSE IS NEUTRAL, SO THIS REALLY POPS IN MY LIVING ROOM!
Chris Myers says
FAB ME ! I love that site!
Jen says
FAB ME!
I have two brass peacocks I got at an antique store that sit on my dining room table runner – I think I have a thing for brass animals!
Amanda says
FAB ME! I have an old printer’s box that I put various textured papers of different colors in, displaying it as art rather than a shadow box. And since I’m a former journalist it speaks to my past.
Kelly says
Fab me!
My dogs collars are colorful just like their personalities.
MEGHAN says
FAB ME! We have a navy blue and gray hand drawing of a fish we picked up in a second hand shop in Waynesville NC! It is by far my favorite piece of art we have! The colors are so pretty!
samantha sue says
FAB ME! i just got an awesome canvas from my best friend. She is a photographer, and she snuck over one day, took a picture of my chickens and got it on a 16×20 canvas for me. I know you guys would love it too.
Nicole says
FAB ME! We have a big colorful Finding Nemo poster in the bathroom. It worked with our shower curtain and pretty orange and teal towels, and we connected over the movie so it seemed appropriate. But we are, ya know, adults with no children.
Amanda says
FAB ME!
Gnomes. Gnomes are everywhere. Only the cute cheery ones though :)
Rhiannon F. says
Fab me!! My quirkiest piece of furniture would have to be my couch that’s been passed around the family (originally my great-grandmother’s) that is currently covered in this strange, rust and turquoise Asian print, complete with geishas and pagodas. It sounds hideous, but is actually pretty cool.
Rebecca H. says
FAB ME!!! We have a large, dramatic canvas in our kitchen of poppies in shades of green and red. Everyone who comes over loves it. We could definitely use some spunk in the rest of the house though.
Kelly says
Fab Me ….. My bright teal bathroom.
Justine says
Fab me!
I have a bright yellow lantern hanging in each of the trees in my tiny back yard that I adore.
Lynn says
Fab me!
My girls and I all like funny tshirts!
Heather says
FAB ME!
We have a funky love of framed concert posters adorning our walls- every time my husband and I see a show TOGETHER, we buy a poster for the wall. :) Wish we had started it at the beginning of our relationship 8 1/2 years ago, but we only started it about 4 years ago or so…
KitS says
Fab me! This isn’t quirky or weird, but it is colorful: we have a giant topographical map of Africa (rescued from a high school dumpster) that I just love. It is seriously is so massive and colorful that it just makes a room (very little additional decorating necessary).
Naomi S says
Fab me! Some paintings my sister in law made. Guitar man is the quirkiest.
