***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…

Leanne says
FAB ME, PLEASE!
I have a super loud, borderline obnoxious, area rug in our living room. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it…and that’s all that counts, right!?!?
Vanessa says
Fab me! My favorite quirky item is a 9-inch moose on our mantle that gets decorated for the season/holiday. It’s small, sweet and looks great next to our mantle’s peacock artwork and vase arrangement and clock.
Emily says
FAB ME!
The weirdest decor item I have is a brown ceramic squirrel that my boyfriend asked our apartment complex leasing agent to have when we were signing our lease. He thought it was so goofy and they gladly handed it off. I would love it, if only he would let me paint it glossy white!
Lydia says
FAB ME!
Our star wars lego collection looks fab on top of our office bookshelf!
Deanna E says
Fab me! I have a little nordic elf on my bookshelf, it’s so cute :)

Sherri says
FAB ME! Nothing much funky quirky here. Need more quirky!
Lindsay says
“FAB ME!”
Taylor says
FAB M! What’s unique in our house? Well, at the moment…just about everything lol. We’re getting married in the fall so we are in the process of buying a home, which makes our places right now quite crazy and unique all in their own sense! We’d love to win the gift card from FAB in order to decorate the house a bit!
Jerri says
FAB ME! I have some art that a coworker did hanging in my living room. They are paper cutouts of quirky colorful faces and I love them.
Michelle says
Fab Me!!!
I am just starting out so there really isn’t much to my apartment other than the pillows I just bought for my couch.
Brandi Hinton says
FAB ME!!! A zebra pillow on the armchair in our den. I love it – even if my husband hates it!
Anna says
FAB ME! My favorite quirky piece is a bright orange leather couch we bought 5 years ago, kind of on a lark. It’s awesome and we get compliments on it all the time. It’s totally changed our design aesthetic (and for the better).
Amanda L says
Fab Me!!
We don’t do much color here Bright orange kitchen spoons count???
Jennifer says
FAB ME!!!
I collect turquoise colored glass/pottery for the top of my china cabinet. It’s actually not that easy.
Dana says
my new taxidermied duckling from Paxton Gate! I also just returned from a trip to Portland! (so sad we were visiting Goonies filming locations the day of your book signing, which i learned about while checking instagram on the way to astoria Saturday. :( a highly recommended day trip though!) I ended up buying my favorite Portland souvenir from the local oddities shop known as Paxton Gate (or the Knot Store from Portlandia) and as weird as it seemed at first, it has quickly become my favorite thing in my home! and it means i quite literally got to put a bird on it

side note: we went to salt & straw per your past recommendation and my boyfriend is now the proud owner of a salt & straw tshirt since i was able to pull up a photo from your blog to show him how touristy it was NOT. :)
Amber says
Fab Me!

Audra R says

Nothing exciting to note, so I need help from FAB!
Sarah says
FAB ME!
I have way too many small, decorative mirrors-I always find cute ones!

FAB ME!!
I have some art I DIYed with foreign coins. It is a great way to display them, and something a little different than normal!
Cynthia Wong says
FAB ME!!!! puh-lease!!! I love that site!
I have a set of yellow metal owl bookends that my mom gave me for Christmas! They’re the kind of thing that are ugly but cute?! haha
Abigail Stender says
FAB ME!
In my last two apartments, I have turned my necklaces into art. First, this was through hanging them on tacks on a bulletin board. In my current apartment, I have them hung on small nails in a pattern in my large blank bathroom wall. It is both functional (I can see all of my options for neck decoration when I get dressed) and pretty (I have lots of variety in my necklaces!).
THANKS!
Stacy says
“FAB ME!!!” I just made a pair of bold chevron curtains for our home office. They are so different from everything else I have done and I love it!!!! Love this giveaway! Would love to fill my home with more fun quirky finds!
kate says
Fab Me! – I have an over-sized rose from Ikea years ago. It is wacky. I even magically found an over-sized bud vase for it. We’re talking 3 – 4 feet tall big.
Macon says
FAB ME!
I would say my giant silver wishbone but come to think about it I haven’t unpacked it yet, so oh no where is it!
I have a framed print on my wall of a Bassett Hound wearing a tri cornered hat and frilly neck thing. I like it and it reminds me of williamsburg.
Starr @ The Kiefer Cottage says
Fab me!

FAB ME! I love my dad’s old paintings from college. He was obviously a hippie since they’re so…trippy.
Kerrie says

Jenn Sullivan says
FAB ME!
A few years ago for Christmas my brother bought me a little pink Buddha throwing up the peace sign from Urban Outfitters. I use him to hold my ring. He is perfectly quirky!
Kelly V says
FAB ME!!!!
Molly Z says
FAB ME!
We used to have an almost-life-size Bluth’s Original Frozen Banana stand in our house (we made it for an Arrested Development-themed party), and that was pretty bright and quirky! But then it burned down…
Sarah says

Alyssa H. says
FAB ME!! I refinished an old bathroom shelving unit that was a dark blue color and transformed it to a rustic magenta/brown jewelry cabinet. I did it college and have held on to it ever since. I’m sure my husband just loves having a piece of pink furniture in his bedroom ;)
Julie says
Fab Me!
We have a 2′ x 4′ oil painting of a brown cow with a burgandy background that makes quite a statement. It’s whimsical and unique and stops everyone in their tracks when they enter our home.
Beth R. says
FAB ME!! PLEASE!!! I love this site!
We just purchased our first home and are still diliberating on paint colors… we haven’t hung one thing on the walls yet! =( Our old condo had a bright yellow kitchen with many wall hangings of bright gerbera daisies!! It was crazy.. going with a more toned down kitchen in our new home! =)

Fab me! My (soon arriving) daughter has inspired me to add fun pops of color in the form of pink, orange, green and blue in my otherwise very neutral house!
Kaileigh says
FAB ME! I love our teal accent wall in our bedroom. I feel like I could bring a lot more quirk into our house though.
Teresa E. says
FAB ME!
I have a lot of ceramic squirrel love going on in our house :)
Taryn Hopper says
FAB ME!
Unless you count my kids, not much is weird. ????Wait, there is a picture of the Florida Gator basketball team that one back-to-back championships hanging in my son’s nursery. Because it used to be an office and my husband refuses to take it down. So it’s kind of a weird portrait.
