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.

    Wacky? Colorful? I’m kind of a wimp; I have this print hanging in my living room and a pillow I made out of scrap fabric left over from a dog bed – that’s about it.

    We still have some colorful Christmas lights hanging around the mantel despite Christmas being a month ago- does that count as quirky now or just lazy?

    I have this burnt orange, velvet, armchair. it is all kinds of awesome. it used to be in my parent’s den among an assortment of other mismatched chairs, and now it resides in my bedroom. My sister recently asked what had happened to it and said she wanted it, it is so ugly that it is amazing, but I am not giving it to her

    Fab me! The quirckiest thing we have in our house is a painting of two hands holding the world with Noah’s picture in the center of it. It’s bright, bold, and quirky. While not my favorite it was given to me by my MIL for Christmas in honor of our little girl we are in the process of adopting. It’s gonna have to stay out for a while. I do plan to incorporate a little family montage around it though.

    FAB ME! I keep hoping it will be a vintage card catalog set of drawers. As a former librarian, I’ve always wanted one :) (I do like your smaller version, but I’m craving a full piece of furniture.) I’ve spied the exact one I would like in the background of Liz Lemon’s apartment. In the meantime, I keep my ebay alerts up and my eyes open for one to appear at a non-astronical price.

    My favorite piece that not everyone is a fan of is a deeply discounted homegoods find – it’s a very large (a little larger than poster size) art piece made of wood planks all tacked together and painted in brown, cream, and orange to look like an old school departure sign at an airport (think the kind where each individual letter had to flip over and change – like the Kayak commericals)

    We stalked it – we saw it one weekend together and it was clearanced, but not enough for a piece we didn’t truly need. Went back the next weekend and they were basically giving it away (slightly damaged) We snagged it up, fixed her up and hung her up. Reaction from my mom on her next visit? “That’s different.” AKA – why did you buy that. But, we love it. It’s very much our groove.

    FAB ME!

    I have a chartreuse leaf-print reupholstered wingback chair in my office that I got for free from my grandmother’s neighbor. She lived in the condo next to my grandmother and was moving into a smaller place with no need for a whole townhome’s worth of furniture. Along with my quirky-but-fabulous chair, I got two solid wood end tables and a solid wood coffee table. Most of my home is furnished with hand-me-downs and family heirloom furniture, which I think lends itself well to a casual mix and match vibe. My chartreuse chair may not match anything else in the whole house, but that’s why I love it!
