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.

    The weirdest thing in my house is this vintage/old army missile. I have been begging my husband to dump it or put it on the street for weeks. We looked it up last night and found that they are going for 500 bucks! I guess we are hanging on to it…unless anyone wants a missile?

    We have different colors through out our home but I’m loving our yellow door and yellow built-ins next to our fireplace. They brighten the place up. Since we are new home owners we are trying to spend money on the bigger things right now instead of decorations but would love the opportunity to get some stuff from fab!!!

    FAB ME! I actually really love our red walls in the kitchen, but something that isn’t so permanent would have to be our giant Budweiser beer mirror in our basement game room. That was an ebay find many years ago.

    FAB ME! My current favorite accessory is an iron door stop in the shape of an English bulldog, from my Gramma’s house in central Illinois. Pretty sure it’s an antique by now, since she married in the 30’s. I’m in the process of changing the faves to 3 cardboard (white) animal heads I’m assembling to hang in our family room! Love accessories, I’m always changing them out for new looks.
