***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…

Charity says
Fab me! We’ve got all sorts of quirky kid art on our walls. Time to add some new fun stuff!
Abby A says
FAB ME! I have a funky frame collage in my hallway made with handmade ‘art’- it’s super colorful and makes the whole hallway a lot happier :-)
Lisa H says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest thing in our house is probably the Snoopy cartoon the previous owners painted onto one of the bedroom doors. Since the cartoon features a dancing Snoopy saying “I’m outrageously happy in my stupidity!” we have to wonder if the child whose bedroom this was has any lasting self-esteem issues.
This is, of course, why we need to get other quirky things up in this house instead.
kerri says
Fab Me! I love my stained glass windows!
Kelly K says
FAB ME!
Man, I just sat here forever trying to think of something unusual in our house, and I can’t think of one thing! Ugh, I feel so ordinary. The wackiest it gets is all of the magnets we’ve collected from our travels. Wild, I know.
Erika says
FAB ME!! I have a purple glass owl that my great aunt gave me. It doesn’t match a thing but I don’t care!
Meaghan says
FAB ME! And my weird colorful wacky decor object? A vintage Cookie Monster cookie jar that my parents bought me when I was a kid. He sits atop the fridge, surveying our entire kitchen/living/dining room area.
Shannon says
FAB ME!
I need bold pops of color in my house. Right now, the only bold pops of color are baby toys strewn all over the floor! :)
Robyn T says
FAB ME! We’re in a rental home right now, and it’s got a fireplace but no mantel. So we seriously just taped some twine across the top to hang seasonal things for decoration. It’s super quirky, but it works!
Erin says
FAB ME!
I have a few loud prints hung up throughout the house that I just love.
Faith Cooke says
Fab Me!
Jen says
fab me! I love my old library card filing cabinet. Lots of little drawers to hide crafty supplies.
Christy Grap says
FAB ME! I have a disco ball that my little ones think is awesome.
Sue H says
Fab me!
Caroline says
FAB ME!
I have this funky little sewing stand (for fabrics and scraps) that was my moms. The pattern on it is 70s and awesome.
Katie B. says
Fab me! We just painted our small powder bath a bright, happy kelly green.
Erin P says
FAB ME!
We just moved into our first house, so we have a blank slate and are in need of some serious quirkiness!
Gina F says
FAB ME! Thanks – I have some great colorful textiles from Guatemala I’m just not sure where to keep them permanantly.
Tracy says
FAB ME!
Bright green barstools in our kitchen.
Adriana says
FAB ME!
We have a trio of little terrariums in vintage apothecary jars.
Caroline says
Fab me!
I got on the owl kick and we now own three little glass owls. My above mentioned sewing fabric holder thing is more funky though
Jen says
FAB ME!
A retro green mosaic stone hanging lamp in the living room – a hand me down from my BF’s passed grandparents. The rest of his family thought it was hideous, but we totally love the vintage feel of it!
Melanie R. says
FAB ME!
I have Korean ducks on my mantle–which were given to us as a wedding gift in October! When facing each other, they represent happiness and peace in marriage. When facing apart, it represents the fact that the couple is in a fight.
Jennifer says
FAB ME!! I seem to enjoy collecting rocks from where-ever we go, so I have a lot of little rock accents around the house.
Amanda E says
Fab me!!!
I have a great rug that I love… choc brown with oranges, pinks, teals, etc.
abbi says
FAB ME!
I have different owls in different places just to keep my husband on his toes (he likes them alot!)
But I need help everywhere else- I’m too indecissive to put anything on the walls.
Jessica says
FAB ME!… I have a gold leaf door bell that I love!
rachael says
FAB ME!!! My husband made me a home made valentines card one year and I have it framed. People think its weird, but hidden behind the card is the love letter that came with the card. I just smile when people ask why I have a drawing of a whale in a frame hung on the wall :)
Robyn says
FAB ME PLEASE! We just moved into a 1960s home that is very outdated! I found a fabulous wooden,contemporarty, multi-colored rooster to hang in our kitchen!
Valerie says
FAB ME!!
Amanda says
Fab me!
I’ve got this funky pillow on my couch that I LOVE!
Katherine says
Fab me! I have a very muted living room but a bright red armchair to shake it up a bit.
Elise says
Fab Me! I have a colorful painting of some row boats by some cliffs. I’m not sure where the scene is or who the artist is seeing as I got it at a thrift store for $6! I love it!
Kristin says
FAB ME!
My husband bought me a really cute ceramic owl that makes me smile whenever I see it!
Jess M says
Fab Me!!! We own a bold black and white painting made by an octopus (a zoo fundraiser purchase)!
Tricia W says
Fab me! I need more quirky in my house.
Heather S. says
FAB ME!!! My vintage (but still working!) aqua GE stand mixer in my kitchen always gets compliments.
Tara says
FAB ME! I have two bright yellow chairs that I had made for our living room. I just love the color it adds!
Tiffany says
FAB ME!
I am a biologist, so I’ve taken the “faux animal taxidermy” to a new level, in that I have a non-faux skull from a 12-foot alligator on my TV stand. A gift from my father, who took part in a hunt on some property we own to reduce the gator population size in the area. Quirky, for sure!
Rachael says
FAB ME!!
Our guests always seem to get a kick out of the Larry David headshot I incorporated into a graphic poster I designed for our living room. If only it came with audio… [insert Curb theme song here].
nic says
FAB ME!
eiffel tower art everywhere….
Anna says
FAB ME!!! My absolute favorite funky thing in my apartment are these bright bohemian curtains in our guest room/office with a fun pattern containing red, turquoise and golds. They are actually shower curtains–but as soon as I spotted them I knew they were the perfect curtains that I was looking for, and made them work on the windows.
Coree says
Fab me! My house is in desperate need of life. We recently moved into our first home, and we are slooooooowly decorating it.
Lauren says
Fab me!
Most quirky, lovable thing in my apartment is the large glass jar of my grandma’s button collection. There are buttons from her mom and from my Grandpa’s WWII uniform in there!
Jessica M says
Fab Me!! I love our bold herring bone rug that is made from patchwork cowhide.
Natalie Derrickson says
FAB ME!
What isn’t quirky. The one that would make your eyebrow raise is a ceramic foot. It’s my right foot, and I made it in ceramics class- for fun. I was done with my assignment and I had flip flops on, so- I made my foot. I even painted the toenails pink! And the best part is, is that it really looks like my foot.
Sarah E says
FAB ME! I just repainted and reupholstered a boring black folding chair. It is now coral colored with teal and white fabric, nice pop of color.
kc says
FAB ME!
gilded apples hanging on my chandelier
Tanya Rousseau says
FAB ME! I love our vintage mushroom clock and cookie jar.
Summer says
Fab me!!
Not too much quirky going on here… Would love to win and fix that!
