***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)

“FAB ME!”
Hmmm, the orange Ken Bailey dog poster that hangs in my son’s room. Just the right pop of whimsical.
Emily says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest thing in our home, by far, is a GIANT 22′ Green Monster mural. My husband is from Boston and it was important to bring a little Boston with us to NC.
Mary W says
FAB ME!! We don’t have anything too quirky right now which should explain the desire for a gift card from this company. We do have some fun pictures that will be going up in the baby’s room though.
Jennifer Panos says
FAB ME!!! I have a bright red china cabinet/hutch that I got for $50 off craigslist with the intention of refinishing it. But, I fell in love with the bright pop of color it brings to my dining room and have so far refused to change it!
Kristen | Popcorn on the Stove says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky item in our house is our cow calendar from Scotland. We bought the first one on our honeymoon and have started the tradition of ordering them each year… and then of course, framing our favorite photos :)
Kellee says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky item that we have in our home is free postcard that I “won” at a city-wide antique/thrift market. It has a cartoon drawing of police officer in-between two teens and says “Who gave you permission to make love?” So odd!
Katie D. says
FAB ME!
My house is decorated with dozens of fun postcards picked up from various art museums during my travels. The frames very in size, but you always have to get pretty close to see what the picture actually is. I’d love to be able to snag a few fun prints from fab that can be seen from a distance.
Megan Dyan says
Fab me! I love each of my daughter’s overly bright colored rooms – sky blue and sea foam green!
Michelle says
FAB ME!!
I try to fit in lime green around the house wherever I can! :)
Becka says
FAB ME!
My instagram wall is probably the most colorful aspect of my bedroom!
Amy says
Fab me! Our quirkiest decor is probably the yellow cow we got at Target (that you actually ended up featuring on a Window Shopping post)! He’s actually a dairy creamer, but travels around bringing bright cheer to the mantle, side tables, even the dining room on occasion. We need more quirky fun like him!
Jamie says
FAB ME! Pretty much the best thing I own is my Giraffe print rug in my bedroom, so Cozy!
Gretchen says
FAB ME!
My fabulous yellow dresser in the master bedroom. Makes me happy every single day!!!! I took inspriration from 4 Men & a Lady….well, copied it exactly, and I love it!
Ginger says
FAB ME!
We have two large paintings of cats dressed as a vampire and a baby nurse, by the author (and artist) Nevada Barr. How is that for colorful and weird??!
Sam says
Fab Me! I have a kitchen that looks like it is right out of the 1950s. We continue to decorate it as if it were still 1950. It’s odd, but it works for us!
Arell says
FAB ME!
I made a bold piece of artwork in bright yellow that says: TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL … it is a wonderful daily reminder, plus the yellow is so happy!
Leila Perry says
FAB ME!
Katie C says
FAB ME! The quirkiest things in my house are my two cats–one overly sweet, one lovably grumpy!
Stephanie says
FAB ME! A rolodex style calender, originally from Australia, that made it’s way to my grandmother’s house in Italy by way of a traveling aunt. I had always loved changing the dates the few times i went to italy as a child and when i went back 2 years ago (in my 30’s) my grandmother still had it and let me take it home! It sits on my bookshelf in my family room and I love it!
Lindsay Schatz says
FAB ME! I have an 3 foot oversized clock on my wall that always gets the “that’s a really big clock” comment.
Jessica says
FAB ME!
I have a vase full of sea glass I have collected.
Emily M. says
FAB ME!!
I have three ceramic birds in our small apartment, 2 turquoise and 1 bright yellow. I love ’em!!
Katie C. says
FAB ME!
Probably the quirkiest thing about my apartment is that I have a few small stuffed animals placed for decoration, but not in a creepy 20-something-pretending-to-be-12 way.. I have cool and interesting stuffed animals, like a Higgs Boson and Boober from Fraggle Rock.
Nell says
Fab Me!!
I have a bowling pin that I stole from an alley when I was a crazy teenager. I love the neon pink stripes and it always is a conversation starter!
Alison says
FAB ME! My husband and I went to a Science Fiction folk art exhibit in Vermont last year and they had all of these tin robot toys that Japan produced to revive their economy after WWII. My husband bought me a replica for Christmas this year. Looove it.
Caitlynne says
FAB ME! We have a few weird little knick knacks that my grandma gave me…like a basketball-sized ceramic apple.
Donelle says
FAB ME!
Kristen says
Fab Me!
And I would say our black brother and sister kitty cats are pretty darn weird and quirky. Does that count?! :)
Sara says
FAB ME! We have a colorful piece of ceiling tin- a little quirky by itself- but it is hung on hinges that open to reveal a bar– that’s our quirkiest house feature!
Jenny says
FAB ME! An updated gumball machine from my childhood bedroom with colors and finishes that match our current decor. Complete with pearlized chartreuse gumballs.
Meredith says
FAB ME!
I have 2 paintings above my bed from Etsy that I LOVE; they’re abstract and swirly.
Kristi - SimplePrettyThings says
Fab me. We have little critters everywhere but they aren’t all ceramic. We have brass, resin, plastic, metal, modepodge, etc. They are pretty much in every room.
Annie says
FAB ME!
erin says
“FAB ME!”
I painted my dining room Tiffany Blue. My husband was appalled, but I love it :) I told him I wanted to eat Breakfast at Tiffany’s every day!
Holly says
FAB ME!
We keep a collection of colorful frames w/ b& w photos on a credenza in our entry way as sort of a cheery WELCOME!
Heather J. says
FAB ME!
I suppose my favorite “quirky” item in the house is a print of Bernard Buffet’s “Matador” circa 1958 that we grabbed at an estate sale. He creeps other people out, but I like him.
Becky says
FAB ME! I have lots of weird, quirky and colorful art made by my kids throughout the house.
Kim S. says
Fab me!
I have orange accents in my aqua bathroom. I love the color combo.
Kelly says
FAB ME!
I love my green and white pillows on our couch — they make me happy!
Marissa says
FAB ME!!
I have a plant pot that is colored and shaped like a bee. Like with wings, antennae and everyting. And I use it as a kitchen decoration, it’s never actually held a plant. Go fig.
Pam says
Fab Me!
My collection of eiffel tower items, I have all different items throughout my house with it on it.
Ali K. says
FAB ME! My quirky item is a bright green-yellow bike frame hanging on the wall. It’s from my boyfriends old mountain bike. The color is officially called “Vitamin P”.
Kaitlin says
FAB ME!
Our son’s room has a cartoon-like print of a boston terrier in a baby swing. I love it! So quirky, and it’s a nod to our own boston, Chopper.
Elizabeth says
Fab Me!!
Louisem says
FAB ME!
A quirky item I have that I recently made my Mum give me is a old brandy bottle shaped like a genie bottle from the old 70’s “I dream of Jeanie”. I always remember as a kid looking down into the bottle imagining the Tv show. Only thing is not a fan of the color… would it be bad of me to spray paint it :)
Katie says
FAB ME!
We have a bit of an affinity for Dutch delft windmills and tiny wooden shoes. :)
Gale says
FAB ME!!! I own a huge sailfish that we caught on our honeymoon and paid WAY too much to have mounted, stuffed, etc (whatever they do to fish!) and shipped home. Now we decorate it for holidays (Santa hat, bunny ears, currently sporting a leprechaun top hat!) – we’re weird like that :)
Dawn S says
LOVE it!
Chrissi says
FAB ME!!
I have curtains from IKEA that have a limey green tree pattern that I absolutely love. They are the kind of thing that when you describe to people they tend to wrinkle their nose and get a look on their face like ‘Really?’!! But I love them!
Christa says
FAB ME! My colorful thing that makes me happy, a turquoise lamp that I bought on a whim with absolutely no place in mind to put it. I saw it, it made me happy so in the cart it went. After a few temporary homes it found its place in the kitchen where it adds a nice pop of color.
Emily says
FAB ME!
Right now, the strangest thing we have in our house is the strand of Christmas lights that we decided to leave up for its subtle glow. We are nothing if not classy at my house! (Note the sarcasm…) ;)
