***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 crazy disco pen that lights up the room!
Kait says
Fab me!
My favorite quirky thing is a Marc Jones print that I have hanging right by my front door. It’s a picture of a rabbit next to a globe that says “unbeknownst to most, the world is completely controlled by a single pipe smoking rabbit.” It’s such an offbeat sort of humor that it makes me smile whenever I see it!
Kristin says
Fab me! Right now I’m loving a fun little print w/ a little sparkle that we put in our daughter’s new “big girl” room. It says “Don’t ever lose your sparkle”
Emma F says
FAB ME!
Two framed comic strip prints in the bedroom, that are a perfect mix between dorky and cute.
Emily says
Fab me! I have a ceramic tomato shaped cookie jar from my mom that was filled with oreos thoughout my childhood. Yum :)
Heather says
FAB ME!! I have a stained glass lamp shade straight from the 70s that I got at an antique shop. My boyfriend hates it, and we live in an apartment so I have nowhere to put it at this moment. But I’m thinking it’s going to make a great pendant someday!
Ange says
Fab me!
We have a lot of quirky stuff, but one of my favorites is a Niagra Falls tambourine that we bought at a souvenir stand there, and now have hanging in our bathroom wall.
emma says
FAB ME!!!!
quirky & weird, but cool: a gourd from my in-laws farm & lots of wood slices/small logs from a downed tree from 2011 hurricane ….
Ashley says
Fab me! Nothing too quirky here.. Just a bunch of baby toys strewn about
Nicole says
FAB ME!
I have a (growing) collection of white ceramic owls that are perched above my kitchen cupboards. I also have 3 framed prints of sock monkeys in my living room that remind me of the graduation photos that my parents have of us kids in their house, but I have no children yet so I have sock monkeys :)
KoKo says
Fab me!
We have dedicated a wall in our family room to framed pictures of all the places we have been together…I was getting sick of always having pictures of our family and friends (no offense!). It is so nice to see all the different colors and landscapes to reminisce our travels. Plus it’s a great conversation piece.
Alexis says
Fab me! I just framed some newspaper “insulation” from 1925 that we found while tearing down drywall in my house. It looks really neat, and now I have some of my house’s history on display!
Stefanie says
FAB ME!
My favorite thing is a photograph my husband took of a gorgeous model – mostly because visitors mistake her for me and compliment me on it ;-)
lee says
“FAB ME!”
Loving that mirrored piece on FAB!
I have a giant print of a cat on canvas all gussied up in fancy gilt frame we’ve had forever since we were married almost 22 years ago. It was a splurge piece for our LR.
Linda says
FAB ME
I don’t think there’s anything weird per se right now.
Mary says
FAB ME! I have a beautiful red and yellow cow painting in my living room. It makes me happy.
Sally says
Fab me!!!

FAB me! An Rodin sketch of a woman with her intestines on the outside- its cool!

Fouzia says
FAB ME!!!!
Loving our DIY long,leaning entry mirror and her quirky lines….Do our quirky tri-colored dogs count too?? ;o)
Lynne says
Fab Me!
We have a beautiful painting of a ginko tree by a friend’s father. We couldn’t bear to hang it at the traditional height, so it’s down low so we can enjoy it at eye level from our easy chairs.
Briana says
FAB ME! I have a hot pink baby deer in my kitchen. It’s life-size.
Mollee says
FAB ME!
Something bold and colorful in our home that I love are the five pixel paintings on canvas that I recently finished for our dining/living room: http://molleemade.com/art/2012/11/pixel-paintings-finished/
They were inspired by a pin that I repinned from you, Sherry, so thanks for the inspiration, and thanks for the opportunity to win a Fab gift card!
Chantal says
“FAB ME!”
I have these 2 colorful chairs from Pier 1 that brighten up my living room!

FAB ME!
I love my yellow/orange accent wall in my kitchen. Since you can see three different wall colors at the same time in my open floorplan, it seems like a little like color-overload, but I really like the happy accent wall (and the others) so am going to keep it anyway :)
Roxanne M says
Fab Me! My boss just got me a dachshund cookie jar :) I just love it, since I have a dachshund.
Beth B. says
“FAB ME!” I’ve got five colorful bird plates from Australia
Katie says
Fab Me! I love the pillow covers I got in NM for $5 each.
Kaye says
FAB ME!! I have a antique store dresser that I refinished and modpodged wrapping paper with vintage looking animals riding bicycles onto the drawer fronts. It’s super quirky and cute!
brittany says
“FAB ME!” Our quirky thing isn’t really a thing. It’s one of our cats. Everywhere you don’t expect a cat to be…there she is. Hanging from the ceiling fan (while it’s off of course) on top of the bathroom door, underneath the 3 inch high tv cabinet, in the book shelf. She is definitely our conversation starter!
terra says
Fab me! I love quirky decor, and we have a ton of handmade art in our home.
Megan says
Fab Me!!
Alison C says
FAB ME!!! I adore my craigslisted, hideous, veneer-covered buffet which I painted a fabulous shade of “grellow” (iPad wanted to correct that to “gruel low”, lol!) and added with glass knobs and pulls (on sale at Home Depot!)! I finished it off by adding a bunch of vintage decanters and my booze collection and my gorgeous new bar was complete!!!
Laura says
FAB me! Who ever has enough trow pillows? I also know what I’m getting my boyfriend for Valentines… Thanks!
Ashley H. says

my positive pregnancy test stick… weird i know, i keep it hidden under my bathroom sink, waaaay in the back… but i love the memory it has! maybe one day i will gather the strength to throw it away :)
Kris says
FAB ME!!!
A better question is what is *not* quirky in your house. I believe my very traditional in-laws think I’m nuts!
Samantha says
FAB ME! I’m starting up a collection of starburst clocks. I’ve got three so far and can’t wait to add to it!
Rebecca says
Fab me!
I have a hot pink chair!
Jessica Hunt says
FAB ME! I have a beaded pineapple candle holder that I absolutely LOVE :)
Stephanie says
FAB ME!!! I have a set of Three Bronze owls! Although I love ceramic ones, these however pay tribute to my Mother in law who passed 3 years ago. The hubby says his mom had the same ones while he was growing up. So the fact that I have them makes me extremely happy!
LibbyS says
FAB ME!
A piece of my sister’s original art!
Thalie F says
FAB ME!
I love my pink armchair in my living room, it makes me smile.
Alyssa Galvas says
FAB ME! I love the bright yellow chair (with owls) that my husband reupholstered for our one year old daughter. It doesn’t go with anything else in our living room but she loves it and it’s such a fun color :)
Erin says
FAB ME! I have a metal crab figurine that I bought in Italy. He hangs out on a shelf in the living room. We call him “pinchy” and I love him!
