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! We have a friend who is an amazing photographer. In our living room we have a large canvas print of an eerie shot she took at Eastern State Penitentiary. I know some visitors find the image unusual and jarring but it just speaks to my husband and I.

    FAB me!! The boyfriend isn’t fond of bright quirky things but I still sneak it in! I have cute teal lamps in my bedroom and a old green cabinet that’s just too cute. It’ll be repaired eventually but it adds flair to my room. One of my most favorite handmade quirky item is a pitcher I painted myself.

    I made a sign for above my stove in the kitchen. It is painted super cute and says, “Lets eat out!” I’m a mom of 4 and a huge health food advocate… and I still haven’t gotten this whole “making meals” thing down. I hate cooking actually!

    I have a bit of an obsession with squirrels. I love my collection of ecclectic squirrels. It’s gotten a bit out of hand with ceramic, wooden, and metal squirrels. I also have a squirrel shaped picture frame, book ends, candle, and cookie cutters.
    Definitely a little quirky :)

    We have a thermostat that is in the most inconvenient place on our entry wall. Instead of admitting defeat and leaving the wall blank we put a funky purple frame around the thermostat and a number of other pictures and frames to create a gallery wall. The framed thermostat is quirky, but we love it!

    FAB ME! Quirky, weird and colorful would be my frog-prince-on-a-lily-pad teapot that my Gammy gave me when I ended a bad relationship. She said it would make me happy when I stroked his little green head. Funny enough, it did make me smile! (and does to this day…)

    FAB ME! I have a very colorful desert sunset painting that I got at Walmart about 10 years ago.
