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.

    The quirkiest thing in my home is a tradition with my parents from back when cameras had film–remember when. . .

    The last picture on a roll of film was usually just burned on something mundane so that you could get the roll developed. In my house, with this last frame, we took pictures of the fridge. Then when we got the prints, we’d put the picture of the fridge on the fridge and create infinite fridge situation.

    My fridge has a picture of my parents’ fridge. I love it. I point it out to everyone getting a glass of water. MY fridge knows its roots.

    In our neutral living room/office area (think soft grey brown walls), we have a gorgeous oil painting of our mini schnauzer that is riot with color (think pop art style). I LOVE it and it so captures our girl perfectly!

    Fab me!! My favorite quirky thing we have in our home is either a replica of the painting Ellie and Carl have above their fireplace in the movie Up! that I did or our vintage Disney World attraction posters we have framed in our living room. They’re so fun and stylized that they don’t scream kiddie but still make me smile every time I see them.

    our entire house is filled with quirk, although we just call it “normal” over here. I’d say the most quirky things are the front hall, which is painted zebra stripes, and a tiny bust of George Washington, which also sits in the front hall. Also, we’re a little too excited for the grumpy cat pillow that should arrive in the mail sometime this week… :)
