***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…

FAB ME! In my son’s room, we use his completed SpongeBob Squarepants Lego collection as decorative objects including Spongebob’s pineapple, Squidward’s Tiki house, and the Krusty Krab!
c m says
FAB ME! I have a two turquoise chairs in my den that i love!
Lauren says
FAB ME! I spruced up a super old dresser that I found in my family’s barn. At first I was going to paint it a neutral to match my bedroom then I decided to break some rules and painted it bright purple. The piece now lives in my living room and it’s pretty FAB!
Megan O says
Fab me!
It’s not technically still in my house but I do have a hand shaped chair in my garage that I’ve had since college. Doesn’t really go with my decor but for some reason I can’t part with it.
Ashley says
FAB ME! I’m pretty sure that I am the weirdest and quirkiest thing in our house. Besides me though, I would say the pink (baby pink) tile all over our 60s bathroom takes the cake.
Laura says
FAB ME! The quirkiest thing I have is my bright blue front door. Our neighborhood is a sea of brown stucco and I’m so glad to be able to stand out with some color!
Jane says
FAB ME. I have over a dozen taxidermied African animal heads. H is a hunter.

FAB ME!!! I love the wooden ampersand that I have hanging near my computer. It’s the coolest!
Tori says
Fab me!
I have a 2.5 foot long black and white pig footrest that graces our living room – a gift for my husband many years ago when he said he wanted a pig for his birthday!
Wendy King says
FAB ME!
We are building a house right now, so I do not have anything “bright” in our house, but I am looking for something fun to put in the house! :)
AshleyB says
Fab me! The fabric for our window seat cushion is really strange to most people – it’s a peacock feather pattern in navy blue and pink and it’s kind of swirly — but I love it!
JF Silver says
FAB ME! My favorite weird home item is my glass head, bought from Pier 1 years ago for maybe $15 or so….it’s moved with me from my childhood room at my parent’s house to my college dorm to 3 different apartments! People still always comment on the random glass head on the bookshelf…I loooove Fab.com, they have awesome stuff, and I would be THRILLED to win the gift card!
Stephanie says
FAB ME!!! Hmmm….my children fall under all 3 categories….but the two paintings we have in our living room are definitely colourful.
Martha says
FAB ME!
Nothing is quirky to me, but my Mom thinks my bright yellow couch pillows are pretty out there. . .
Sarah says
Fab me! Our master bedroom rugs are lovely colors which inspired the palette of the room.
Erin says
FAB ME! I don’t have anything quirky and I’m getting ready to move to a new place so I need something!
Lena G. says
FAB ME!
Our tv stand is an old roasting stand. I’m not quite sure how it worked but It makes a good media cabinet, even for our vegetarian family!
Charisma says
FAB ME, PLEASE!
The only thing quirky in my house is the people in it. I consider my house very boring right now and have been wanting to add artwork or statues to brighten it all up and add fun to our home. I think we are all a fun group especially my middle daughter. Our home in no way reflects our fun personalities, Unless you count a picture of my daughter in a photo collage in a wrestling singlet showing her guns (Biceps). It truly is a funny pic.
Rachel says
Fab Me!
It’s not really bright, but I have a bowling pin that I have in our room from one of my birthday parties at the bowling ally. It is signed by my guests, so I guess that adds some color!
Karen says
I have a colorful collection of roosters that I keep in a curio cabinet by the entryway. I have all sorts of roosters (with the occasional chicken thrown in for company: painted pewter roosters, stuffed rooster dolls, straw scarecrow-like roosters, wooden carvings, and even a sculpture made by loving kiddie hands!
Dana says
FAB ME! I have some colorful artwork of Philadelphia by a fun artist who just happens to be a friend.
ellen says
FAB ME!!
Our house is pretty traditional (except for the random brass animals and fish everywhere) so this is a hard one to answer!!
Lauren W. says
Fab me!
Melissa says
Fab me! Most of my house is fairly neutral, but I have this obnoxious hot pink blown glass orb candle holder that I love. It’s actually supposed to be a xmas decoration, but I think it’s too cool to store for 11 months of the year.
Natalie says
“FAB ME!”
I have a print of a goldendoodle (since I have a goldendoodle dog) hanging in our entry way. I ordered it from Etsy and I love it.

Sarah M says
FAB ME!
Paula Rodriguez says
FAB ME! Please! I have a small collection of these plastic Korean baby dolls each with bowl haircuts and faces of sheer terror and/or despair. They’re quite colorful and a great conversation piece.

We have 2 ‘Old Time Photos’ framed and hanging in our bedroom. One from our honeymoon and one from our 5th anniversary trip. People laugh when they see them but we love them. We plan on doing it every 5 years!
Kelly says
FAB ME!
I have bird print plates in three colors and it’s like Where’s Waldo in my house– try to find the plate among the decor in each room!
Christy Niebaum says

The framed vintage hankerchiefs in my daughter’s room make me super happy. They are bright, fun colors and really were the inspiration for the entire color scheme in her room.

Whitney says
FAB ME!
I like to think that just about everything in our house is unique and special but my favorite has to be our kitchen curtains that I made myself from bright flowery pottery barn fabric. I wanted something in that fabric so badly that I saved my pennies and bought the fabric when it went on sale. I still have scraps of it that I won’t ever give away.
Ryan says
FAB ME!
The kids’ playroom decals are pretty quirky – I love them!

Fab me! I have a shelf in my living room filled with unique vintage/handcrafted figurines and dishes. From big leaf dishes and ceramic trees to creepy kittens and a dancer figurine, i love them all! It’s a favorite spot in my house :D

FAB ME!
I have a big blue “N” (my lastname initial) that came off a sign (I found it in a thrift shop). It moves from the mantel to the entertainment center, to a bedroom, and I always love it.

Elizabeth says
FAB ME!
I have this yellow cow creamer that I got on clearance at Traget. I put colorful Gerber daisy’s in it, makes us happy!
Jennifer vG says
Fab me!
I have several pieces of anatomical art. It would be weirder if I wasn’t a medical illustrator, but the illustrations, sculptures, test tubes and giant charts still throw off the average visitor.
Kathryn says
FAB ME!
We have a Star Trek “door alarm” that sounds like the doors making the “Swish, swish” sound – like on the Enterprise!
It makes that sound every time you walk into my husband’s “office”.
