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.

    My favorite colorful accessory is my housewarming present to myself. It’s a print that says “don’t forget to be awesome” in lots of bright colors. I love seeing it first when I walk in the door!

    Well currently the majority of our stuff is in storage while we stay with my mom during this transition. But right now I have a very luscious, deep blue poinsettia on the porch I snagged at Michael’s to go with my Winter theme.

    I have a planter that is a pink converse-wearing hippo. It has pride of place on my living room hutch. He’s never had a plant in him – he just collects bits and bobs that don’t have a home.

    My house is infested with owls! So many that is now nicknamed The Owl Lounge. I don’t know how it all started, but places like TJ Maxx, Marshal’s and Ross are not helping because every time I walk in, I am greeted with ceramic or glass owls <3

    Our living room, we painted it a bright orange! We added African animal figurines, and a large houseplant – we love how the green plays against the orange hue. We also framed black and white personal photos, and they pop beautifully against our lovely wall. Oh FAB ME!!

    We have a green coffee table in our living room, which I love. A housemate’s friend was going to throw it away, but offered it to us instead, and it’s a great table.

    Something that would’ve been a little quirkier, though, was this incredible bright blue birdcage (on a stand – about 4ft high) that I almost bought at a garage sale once. Sadly, it was a little out of my budget, but was the coolest thing.

    We have a pillow on our couch that has a bulldog on it that looks just like ours. It caught my eye as I was walking by a store in the mall shortly after we’d brought him home… and I was shocked that it looked just like him, even down to the spot on the top of his head. It’s a little strange, but I love it.
