***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!
I have some huge subway art on my bathroom wall with the lyrics from the FRIENDS theme song. It makes me smile. Every time my roommate is in there taking care of business, I hear her humming it. Haha TMI?
Alison says
FAB ME!
Helen says
FAB ME!
We have a painting from an amateur artist of the skyline of the city we used to live in. It’s painted on cardboard and framed up with a homemade job of random wood. It’s colorful, has glitter, and two decoupaged pictures of astronauts…pretty quirky. A friend once said “you paid money for that?” but we love it!
Julie L says
FAB ME! I love my bright turquoise polka-dot shower curtain.
Lydia says
FAB ME! Probably the 17 house plants in my living room…
Kimberley says
FAB ME!
I have a hideously colorful teal green carpet in most of my basement. Trying to make the most of it and decorate around it, as replacing it is not in the cards at the moment.
Lindsay says
Fab me! I guess my weirdest thing is my owl mugs…pretty boring
Maggie says
FAB ME! Boyfriend is a huge Murakami (Japanese pop artist) fan, and over the years, has amassed quite a collection of prints, so we have several framed prints all over the house. I wasn’t a huge fan at first, but they’ve grown on me and now I kind of love them. The color palate for the house is rather muted, because the prints are so vibrant and colorful…I just love that they are unique and unexpected!
Tina says
Fab Me!
My favorite quirky thing in my house are the Ceramic Chihuahuas that my grandmother made in the 60s.
Becky S. says
FAB ME! Please.
Ana Maria says
FAB ME!
Sorry guys, not much quirkiness ’round our house. It basks in shades of white and beige (which we really love). Cozy and relaxing!
Big love!
Ana
Wendy @ New Moms Talk says
FAB ME!
Some might call it quirky, and some might call it normal, but my hub’s TT bike and trainer are next to the couch in the living room.
stephanie says
Fab Me!
..a lime green upholstered recliner from the 70s. Its such a fun accent piece in our mostly neutral home!
Sheleah Fletcher says
“Fab Me”
I have a big TV Console (converted dresser) that is in our living room. I found it at a consignment shop, painted it aqua, and it has these amazing original bronze knobs on it with Lions Faces. My husband has my 3 kiddos convinced that I went and got this piece of furniture in Narnia:)
Tara says
FAB ME! My house could definitely use something quirky and unusual. I mean, besides it’s old plumbing.
Juliann says
Fab Me!
I have a silly caterpillar that my 3 year old painted. It’s all kinds of of colors and has silly spots…
SJ says
FAB ME!
I recently reupholstered a large storage ottoman in a gorgeous teal/peacock blue velvet, and it always makes me smile when I see that vibrant shot of color!
Bety says
FAB ME!
I’m between places right now but my favorite thing has always been gold frames with bright modern prints and old pictures inside each one.
Rachel S. says
FAB ME!
I have a bright orange and white custom made high chair cover. I love the pop of color it adds in an otherwise drab kitchen.
Valerie Jackson says
Fab Me. Toy Story was the first movie my husband and I went to see when we we’re dating, so we bought all the Toy Story figurines for our entertainment/tv area to servie as mementos. The bright colors really add a pop to the room. Plus, the kids always enjoy seeing them when they come into the room :)
Andrea says
FAB ME! My turquoise dresser that I thrifted & refinished – LOVE it!
Whitney says
FAB ME! I just painted our pantry door a bright greenish/yellow…Gheko was the color name and I LOVE it!
Katie @ Suburban Fervor says
Fab Me!
We have a slew of animal figurines in our living room. Everything from an enormous carved wooden eagle to an elephant candle.
Mis says
FAB ME! Our desk is a very quirky but beloved piece in our living room. It’s where I sit and write my blog, so the upcycled dresser-turned-desk is covered in pages from dictionaries (thank you, mod podge). :)
Donnamarie carson says
FAB ME!!!! One of my favorite quirky finds is a porcelain bust I named Francesca! She sits on our bookshelf and I adorn her in whatever we are celebrating….birthday hats, Christmas scarves, New Years hats ect…right now she is wearing one of my besties medal from the Disney half marathon…she’s wearing it to inspire me that next month when i run ill be able to accomplish the same thing!! Love her!
Amanda G says
Fab Me!
In my home there are several pops of color… It may be bold to some but I love how it all flows.
(one day I will post pics to my blog). :)
Katie says
Fab ME!
I have a bright orange veggie peeler shaped like a monkey standing on the little shelf above my stove. I never use it — I just like looking at him! Everyone should have a kitchen monkey, in my opinion.
Holly V. says
FAB ME!!
I have a chrome piggy bank that I have had since college. Now my husband insists on keeping it on the coffee table in the living room.
Carrie W says
FAB ME!
I have this huge blown up picture of my dad when he was about five years old, dressed as a cowboy.
Betsy says
FAB ME!
In our dining room, we have framed art of a Bartender with a funky face. We had to find the perfect place for “Jack” as his name tag says….guess we name our belongings too.
Syble Crandell says
FAB ME!
SL says
FAB ME! It’s my gong I bought in Portland, OR and have standing behind my living room couch!
Britt says
FAB ME!
I love love love Fab! Just bought a gold moroccan pouf from there and the quality is so good. I guess the quirkiest thing I’ve got in my home is a pair of glass…umm vases? I have no idea what they are- they’re big glass sculpture things that were my Grandmother’s. They are ridiculously 70s (bright orange) and I haven’t quite figured them out yet but they’re pretty fun
Mags says
Fab me! Everyone and his mom has a “Keep Calm” poster at this point, but I still love the chartreuse version I scored several years back and had hanging by the front door. Seemed an appropriate sentiment for bucking you up before heading out into the world…
Sami says
Fab me!
I love the pillows I make. We have a boring brown microfiber cousin so I’ve bought bright, colorful fabric and made some throw pillows to add some spice to it.
Jaime says
FAB ME!!
I love colorful pillows in all shapes and sizes!
Maria says
FAB ME!
I have tons of colorful art in my house..

FAB ME!
The whole living room is very brightly colored – yellow walls, red and orange carpet, it warms me up immediately when I enter the house :)
Thanh says
Fab Me! I am not sure if this is weird but I have a perfect handprint of my son on an interior window and I refuse clean it. Call me sentimentally weird.
joan j says
FAB ME!!
I have to say I love my yellow metal basket. It makes me smile often.

FAB ME! I made some “modern art” from some scraps of cloth and felt that I had.

FAB ME!
I have this canvas painting in my house that I made in college, its bright orange and yellow with huge purple sunglasses painted on the background. Its nifty and I like that I made it myself!
Christine says
Fab me! We have a fabulously huge painting of two cartoon cows, one red and one white, called “Pals” by a local artist.
Alycia Y says
Fab Me!!!! I am obsessing over outdoorsy decor right now and have the evidence all over my built ins. Everyone comments on the mercury glass mushrooms and ceramic foxes especially.
