Fab Freebie: A Literal Fab Freebie

***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.

Fab Dot Com Giveaway

  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Fab.

    We brought back a colorful serving piece from the island we got married on in Mexico. It is a hand drawn picture of a large crowd of people, with a bride right in the middle. Great reminder of our special weekend.

    I’d have to say the quirkiest thing would be the faux ORB bulldog we have sitting on our bookshelf. Or our Moby Dick print from Urban Outfitters up at our entryway. I love that pic! ;)

    It may not be quirky or fun to anyone else, but I have this freaky obsession with numbers and letters. I get all giddy when I find a cool/interesting/old marquis sign. Our son Nicholas has several N’s in his room. I’s almost absurd.

    I wouldn’t call it quirky but we bought some original artwork just after we married that sits over our fireplace. It’s mainly turquoise with some other color mixed in. I still adore it 7+ yrs later.

    I collect vintage makeup/ beauty/ homemaking magazine adds. The marketing campaigns geared towards women were just hilarious in the ’40’s and 50’s and the artwork is beautiful.

    FAB ME! We have a wall of ducks, fish, and a goose on our wall in the basement. My husband loves to show it off to his buddies, but I could just cringe. They will never be allowed to be displayed on the first or second floor of our home as long as I live!

    Fab me! There’s a lot of quirky in our house – but probably my favorite at the moment would be the three foot long wooden tarpon that hangs above our fireplace. I got him on eBay for $10 (he was orange-y wood colored and carved in the 80s, apparently) – gave him a coat of ORB and voila! He matches the decor and compliments my wooden duck collection perfectly!
