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.

    FAB ME!

    I LOVE colors, and one of the colorful items in my apartment that I love is probably the pair of chairs that I found on CL and refinished and recovered in a yellow/grey fabric. They were one of my first DIY projects so they have a special place in my heart.

    My avacado green kitchen is directly opposite the front door, past the white living room and dining room. Paired with some earthy browns…. it pops and I love it so much.

    We just bought a print on sale at ikea for $5. It’s a brown cow against a neon green background. It cracks me up because it is SO weird. We hung it in my 10 month old son’s bedroom for contrast, I think he likes it :)

    It’s not art but we created little modern floating shelves out of a hollow-core door for our cats to jump on/laze around on. They love them and they look cool on our wall!

    Needed a break of my kitchen renovation and stumled upon upon your freebie. I`m a sucker for letters, so the gorjuss ampersand catched my eye. And there is a monster (pillow) sitting on my couch which is turquoise. Love it!

    FAB ME! … I have a globe I got from Haiti that was hand carved and the countries were drawn on with a permanent marker. The countries names are all in french/creole and things tend to be a tad misplaced (ex: they ran out of space for Jamaica so it’s out in the Atlantic Ocean!) LVOE IT!

    The most colorful, happy item in our home is probably my kiddo’s “under the ocean” painting, which includes a shark, fish, octopus, and starfish. Lots of blues, greens, oranges, and yellows. It’s hanging in my boys’ ocean themed bathroom.
