***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! My little beagle boy is pretty weird and quirky…and lemon colored! :)
Lindsey says
Fab Me!
My favorite thing is something I own but have yet to live in a house with enough space for it! It’s a deep turquoise library/magazine console table thing (seriously no idea what the intended purpose is) that I got on clearance years ago from Pier 1. It has been living in storage until the day my husband and I finally leave the city for the suburbs and have actual square footage in our house.
Mary McLaughlin says
FAB ME!
I made a wall hanging for the kitchen with colorful quilted pot holders in a variety of traditional patterns.
Nicole says
FAB ME!
I have a piece of art that’s actually from a piece of an old roof of a home in Charleston that an artist buys and then goes to a spot on the street and paints what he sees.
Audra says
FAB ME!
My favorite little thing in my apartment right now is a gift I got from a friend…a charger-holder for my iphone that’s in the shape of a turquoise whale. It just makes me smile when I plug in my phone :)
Nicole M says
FAB ME!! Our house is seriously lacking in bold colors or anything quirky. My color-fearing husband just won’t have it. Perhaps with this $500 prize I can suprise him with a few gems he won’t be able to say no too!
Noelle says
FAB ME!
We have a large ceramic elephant named Elliot that my parents used as a plant stand when I was growing up and I have inherited it. I make all my friends acknowledge him when they come over. “Say hi to Elliot!” Yes, I’m crazy.
Jenny C says
FAB ME! our house is in need of funk, thus the need for FAB
Kara says
Fab Me! I love my collection of yellow ceramics and pottery.
Jackie says
FAB ME!
Marisa says
FAB ME! My colourful thing is my front hall, which is painted a deep turquiose. It’s the first time we’re strayed from the lightest 3 shades on the paint chip. Love it.
Kelly says
FAB ME!
Similar to Sherry’s obsession with white ceramic animals, I’m a collector of Owls… any shape of form, the only criteria i go by is it has to be unique and some of them have to be functional. Like my measuring cups.
The most recent “quirky” art i purchased from a blog you featured “Chris Love Julia”. I bought her chalkboard drawing featuring some funky glasses. Cant wait to get it up on the wall!

Jennifer Madigan says
Fab Me!!!!
I’m in need of some color in our home.
Kimmy says
FAB ME!!
I have this quirky (gorgeous) 1960s arm chair that is bright teal with flower power all over it! It was $9 from Goodwill :)
Kim K says
Fab me!
Jennifer Madigan says
Honestly right now we don’t really have anything fun and quirky. I’ve been looking for a side table to go in the living room though and I was hoping to have a nice bright color to add some life into our home.
Alex Young says
Fab me! Quirky accessories are the best!
Karalee Tuck says
FAB ME!
I would say the bright red open ladder bookcase I made for our living room. It adds a nice pop of color to the peach room.
Sue says
FAB ME!
Gosh, I can’t think of anything real quirkly in our house. Gotta get on that!
Carly Miller-Carbaugh says
Fab me, please! I have a floral Ikea chair in our living room that I love!
Mary says
FAB ME!
I have an Anthropologie table runner that I am using as art work on the wall – super cute!
Arianna says
Fab Me!
I love my collection of brightly coloured paintings done by my cousins. Such a great pop of color!
Sarah Taft says
Fab me!
april says
FAB ME! I have a kind of ridiculous HUGE ceramic rooster (cock-a-doodle-doo) that we put in random areas of the house. And we put accessories on him for different events/holidays. Very odd but fun, especially for the kiddos.
Ashlee says
Fab me!!!
I love our daughter’s dresser, which is a Craigslist find that the seller had reprinted a soft orangey color and then brushed over with a light stain. It made such a pretty finish.
Whitney R. says
FAB ME!
Heather says
FAB ME! Maybe I’m not quirky enough. I like the idea of fun quirky things hidden in your nice & proper home, but I’m not coming up with anything…maybe I’ve been too serious!
Nicole Betterley says
Fab Me! I have a thing for owl decor! Its everywhere!
Rachel says
Fab me!
We have a cool piece of canvas art from Etsy with a real proper looking Victorian women wearing a large hat but the hat is actually an old ship. It’s quirky but i love it because it fits with some other nautical decor items in the room.
Wendy says
FAB ME! My favorite pop of color in our house is the nook we call our “office.” It’s a punchy green (somewhere between green apple and Kermit). It perks me up whenever I get a glimpse of it as I walk by.
Renie says
FAB ME!
My mom has been downsizing and that includes a lot of the art I made as a child. So I’ve framed a lot of it and made groupings. Free and funky!
Laura says
FAB ME!!!!
We just have a mish mash of all kinds of things going on in our house but somehow… IT WORKS!
Lauren says
FAB ME!!
My favorite thing in my house would have to be a very large mid-century floor lamp! It is one if my favorite thrift finds and makes me smile every time I see it!
Meryl says
FAB ME! A silver penguin cocktail shaker that sits on my bar that my grandmother bought in the 60’s!
malibou says
FAB ME!
I have dinosaur teeth in my kitchen!
Kristin says
FAB ME! Love the colorful world map we bought from Fab.com to pin places we’ve visited.
Holly says
FAB ME!
Probably the oddest thing we own is my husband’s t-shirt with a clown throwing up rainbows. I saw it and HAD to get it for him!
Dhivya says
FAB ME!!!
I love my sofa with it’s zig zag pattern..
BJohnson says
FAB ME!! My favorite quirky object are the [ahem] ceramic horse-head bookends I found in a thrift shop about seven years ago. They are shiny, quirky and have well sculpted locks– all favorite things of mine! ;)
Karen says
Fab me! My living room walls are a bright spring green (almost like your kitchen). Makes me smile when the sun shines in.
Grace Y. says
FAB ME!!!
Adriane says
Fab me!
I have a funky and bright red rug in my daughter’s nursery that just makes me happy.
Christina says
Fab Me!
We have lots of quirky going on in our home but the most obvious is the seven children of various nationalities that tell everyone they meet that they are Irish twins b/c only through adoption can you have so many squeezed into so few months.
Anna says
FAB ME!!
I’m loving the new bright yellow & orange flower painting that came from my grandma’s house. It ended up taking our hallway paint color into such a cheery yellow direction.
Caitlin @ Desert Domicile says
FAB ME!
I have a round gold fat kid toy sitting on an end table in my living room. It’s from one of my idols and even though it sounds awful, it’s actually really cute haha
Nelanie says
FAB ME! I love my little bright pink Buddha on the shelf. :)
Nick says
FAB ME! I think the vintage avocado green counters in our kitchen might qualify as quirky…
Bailee says
Fab me!
My favorite item in my house right now is my Wicked the musical poster.
kate says
Fab me – I like my antique chamber pot we use as a bathroom trash can
