***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 own a pair of mannequin legs that I bought several years ago at a store closing sale. They’ve made quite a conversation piece!
Pam says
FAB ME! I painted an accent wall in my bedroom purple. Love it!
Renee says
FAB ME!
I don’t know if I have anything quirky in our house so I think winning this gift card would be a great way to start!
Kristina says
FAB ME!!!!!
Hi!! My home is very eclectic so there are honestly many things that are weird that I love! My sister had my college sorority shirts made into a t-shirt quilt for Christmas so that’s very high on my list! I have also started a gallery wall (your hall gave me the inspiration) and most of it is DIY so all of the special meanings really pull a few heart strings each time! OH one of my favorite weird things on the gallery wall is a piece of artwork from my fur baby, Oliver! I but black paint on his two front paws and let him go crazy!
I am a young homeowner and you guys are a total inspiration, THANK YOU!!
Carole Anne says
Fab Me! A sentimental, quirky item that I still hang onto is a thrift store bathrobe that my husband was wearing as a sweater when we first met at work :)
Melissa says
Fabme! I have a red horse figure that is unusual and I love it!
Marcia says
Fab Me!! Our quirky feature is a painting we bought when I completed my Masters. The Russian artist put wax on a canvas and then painted over it. Nice bright colors!!
Sonia says
FAB ME!!
I have two side tables that were bought in a yard sale and my husband and I restored (our first project together). They have brown wood and we painted their metallic legs bright red, I love them!
Fiona says
Fab Me, please.
Mike says
FAB ME! I particularly like the chest we restored and reupholstered. Nice, dark stain paired with a bold print fabric on top.
Andrea @ Our Little Gems says
FAB ME – a goodwill 3rd place sports trophy spray painted bright yellow to commemorate my hubby and mine’s 3rd wedding anniversary. :)
Christina M says
FAB ME! I have a full color geologic map of California that takes up almost an entire wall! :)
Jessica says
FAB ME!!
Please oh, please! I love trees, they are beautiful, bold and strong. I have thick long willow branches, all squiggly and think hung on our entry wall. I love them and they create such dept and texture. Kinda weird to hang dead tree limbs, but they fit our family. Plus, the branches are from out family farm.
Sara says
FAB ME!
Something colorful and quirky in my house is a large canvas photo that our wedding photographer made for us. It was taken on a graphic yellow and black painted city wall in downtown Pasadena and has my husband and I duplicated 3 times, first looking at each other, than moving closer, than kissing in the middle.
Thanks again for the giveaway!
Amanda says
FAB ME!
I have this amazing painting of a green dragon that my 4 year old did this summer. It’s hanging in a group of random art I’ve picked up while traveling. But it’s def my FAV quirky, colorful item I own!!
Linny says

My 80s, neon surfboard that I hung as wall art. I love it!
Mary says

FAB ME!
Just getting into the whole decorating thing as over the past few years I have moved apartments almost yearly. This would be a great place to start!
Anne says
FAB ME!
We have this vintage 1962 Seattle World’s Fair collectors cup. It is so funky and fun. I use it as a vase in our living room to add a little local flair.
Danielle Moore says
Fab Me… our newest quirky addition is a tin ceiling tile on our wall from an old Richmond building.
October says
FAB ME!
We just moved in to a new house and are working on the fun and quirky. I’ve been stuck in the traditional sense of decorating, but I just got your book and we are already working on some fun projects :)
Ange says
I have a tissue box shaped like a whale from the Etsy shop Sparkly pony. The individual Kleenex looks like the spray from the whale’s blow hole. It is awesome.
Alison says
Fab Me! My weird and quirky is a painted owl piggy bank. Love him!
Cassidi says
FAB ME!! I have these ugly gold and bronze sconces that I paint white and use as shelves that I LOVE!! The are on a darker wall so it really makes anything I put on them pop! :)
shima says
FAB ME!

FAB ME! I have dachshunds hidden all over my house! My boyfriend says no more or I’ll be a crazy dachshund lady… :/
Amanda says
FAB ME!!
I have a new house that I am dying to decorate and this could be the funky style kick I need. : )
Katie Rose says
Fab Me!
Our house (err, my dad’s) has pretty subdued rooms as far as the color of the furniture, floor, and walls. So I tend to lean towards buying colorful accessories to bright things up! My latest purchase is a bright blue hurricane from a resale shop. It looks like something from Crate & Barrel but it only cost me $3.50! It definitely spices up our less than colorful dining room!
[email protected] says
FAB ME!!! I have a toddler, he has made me poor.
Noreen says
FAB ME! We have a neon green cow print that is now at home in our nursery. That and a metallic buddah in the dining room….
Craig says
FAB ME!
A little color goes a long way, but a lot of color can be spectacular. A recent addition to my home’s walls is a mural of all the extra colored glass tiles I had from samples at work. I made a 12″x60″ mosaic of all the tiles I had from the muted grays to pops of bright yellow and green.
Lindsey says
FAB ME!
I have to admit that I do have an obsession with ceramic animals…and I love owls! My favorite is my owl cookie jar in the kitchen- it just makes me so happy. :)
Erika says
FAB ME!! I have a purple glass owl from my great aunt that i just LOVE. Doesn’t match anything but I don’t care!
Jessica W.S. says
FAB ME! I like to hide quirky/unusual little objects around the house to see if my husband notices them. I smile whenever I pass one by. :)
Laura H. says
FAB ME!!! I have nothing quirky….or fabulous really so I need this :)
Kate says
“FAB ME!”
I’d say our whole house could be described as quirky; but my favourite is a wooden painted garlic bulb clock the Rock Star made me a few xmases ago,
Courtney says
Shoot my name is Courtney. I do not have an email address for a name.
Heather says
FAB ME!
We have an awesome set of silver cannons that sit on our media centre! They were originally avon cologne containers, but you would never know it! We also have some vintage looking cars from avon. We picked up all of these for a grand total of $12 from garage sales and the local thrift store. I’m gonna pop some tags, got 20 dollas in my pocket! That one’s for you $herdog!
Erika W. says
FAB ME! I have a bright aqua starburst mirror I made (poorly) out of skewers that I just love!
kella says
Fab Me!
i have a miniature woodstove… doesn’t match anything else in my house… but for sentimental reasons, will always have a spot of honour. :)
Christine says
FAB ME!!
It’s probably a toss up between my headless-and-armless bust that sports pearls most of the year, and my horned, hand-carved Noh mask. I’m planning on painting the latter a nice, bright color soon, so maybe it’ll win out once that happens.
Thanks!
Christine
meganleiann says
Fab me! I have a mustard yellow Le Cruset dutch oven that I want to leave out on my stove top all the time! It makes me smile.
Robyn says
Fab Me!
I’m a crafter so we’ve got all sorts of unusual decor in our small apartment, some of it my husband loves and some he hates! He’s so sweet he lets me show it all off anyway! My favourite shop bought item is a white ceramic owl vase called Hedwig who we hide sweets in!
Kristy says
Fab me! Everything we own is quirky and unconventional, but my favorite is this miniature family scene my parents brought me from Germany. It’s so cute and weird!
rachel says

Bree says
FAB ME!
My home is pretty gray. Need some color ;)

I inherited my grandparent’s china hutch and painted it a fun, bold teal hue. It is awesome now. And rad. Rad and awesome. Like my grandparents :)
Gabby says
FAB ME! :)
