***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…

Adrienne says
FAB ME!
I have a large giraffe in my living room. I love him.
Ann says
FAB ME! I love my wall art made out of recycled magazines.
Rachel says
FAB ME!
I love my patterend curtains that were made out of $9 clearance shower curtains from Walmart :)
Kathy says
FAB ME! I have the Mark Roberts fairies for a handful of holidays (staring at a Valentine’s day one as I type this) – I think they’re pretty quirky!
Nina says
Fab Me! My 1970’s floral shower curtain that I got at a thrift store 10 years ago. Still in great shape and it is as loud as it gets!
Sarah B says
FAB ME!
Our living/dining/kitchen walls are orange.
Lisa says
FAB ME!
Maybe the quirkiest think in my house is the bright turquoise ceiling in our master bedroom. Such a pain but I love it!
Tamara says
FAB ME!
we have this white ceramic unicorn head that sits on an old book shelf on our back porch that cracks me up every time. my roommate and i started pretending to love unicorns as a joke a few years ago, but i think it has somehow evolved into an actual affinity. like when your bud grows an ironic moustache that he eventually can’t imagine his face without anymore…
Mary Elizabeth says
FAB ME! We have a pineapple in our bedroom that we got on our honeymoon/wedding in Jamaica. It comes hand carved from a local Jamaican and it’s unique but we love it.
Michelle says
FAB ME please!! I have a bright plate collection hanging in the dining room. I love them against the dark charcoal grey walls.
Sarah J says
FAB ME! I have a strange drawing of myself hanging in our guest bathroom. At first glance, one assumes it’s a terrible self portrait from my elementary days. It, however, is very meaningful to my family. In 3rd grade, P. Buckley Moss, a midwestern painter of curious farm scapes and Iowa scenes, visited my elementary school and chose to sketch me! I was crazy-proud considering my mother collected many of her paintings over the years. Now my mother has passed and the drawing is treasured in my household. Oops—a little deep!
marissa says
“FAB ME!” We have a hand me down cedar chest painted avocado green from our Grandfather. It’s a color I would never pick out, but it adds a nice shot of freshness to our otherwise pretty neutral space. I love that it’s a family piece and It’s great that it pushed me a little out of my comfort zone!
Annabelle says
FAB ME!
My roommate’s ceramic pig with a tutu sits happily on our bookshelf!
Olivia K says
Fab Me!
We have a lovely pez collection that takes up space in every room.
Jeannine says
FAB ME!!
The quirkiest thing in my house at the moment is a mirror with a distressed & rusted frame. Looking to add some brighter colors and quirkier patterns.
Kay says
FAB ME!
We keep an orange rubber newt/lizard in our fridge next to the eggs. Sometimes we put a rubber snake in the bathroom to freak out our guests. :)
Mia B says
Fab me! I don’t have anything quirky that I can think of… did a major purge before moving houses about a year ago and have yet to make my mark in the new place.
Ginger says
Fab Me!
Meagan Berry says
Fab me! Ithink like my map vase.
anna says
FAB ME! My husband and I raise sheep and are have been slowly accumulating “sheepy” things, like a great throw pillow with a sheep print, sheep salt and pepper shakers, ceramic sheep plates, a sheep mobile, etc.
Kristin says
Fab Me!
I have a bright blue cake stand that we use for bdays, it’s so bright and happy and I love it!
Emily K says
FAB ME!! When my husband and I got married, my parents gave us a painting of a boy and girl pig, the boy looking adoringly at the girl. As university of Arkansas razorbacks, it was such a sweet gift!
Alexandra says
FAB ME!
Currently in the process of adding a bit of quirk and color to my place, but I do love my ceramic owl that sits on my desk!
Audrey says
Fab me!
I have a chartreuse (BM Citron) French provincial style dresser that sets my heart a-flutter!
Rachel M. says
FAB ME! I recently chose a very bright and fun pattern to redo some dining room chairs – they’re completely different from anything else in my home.
Julie says
Fab me!
We have a large, colorful Matisse print on our family room. It’s a room of random artwork, so it helps tie everything (and their color schemes) together!
Jennifer K says
Fab Me!
I have four metal birds hanging on my wall. They were made by hand out of an old oil drum by an artist in Haiti. Recycling at it’s best!
Emmy D says
FAB ME!
Some friends gave us a pair of gnome salt and pepper shakers for our wedding. I’ve loved gnomes for years, and that zany little gift was one of our favorites!
Meagan B. says
FAB ME! I have a map of the u.s. made up of food :)
mp says
FAB ME!
I have a yoga-posing frog (standing on one leg) in my living room, courtesy of my daughter.
Maike says
FAB ME!
My personality is quirky… but looking around, I’m realizing there’s not enough of that in my house… which is why it would be awesome if I won :)
Holli says
Fab me! a goofy looking wooden bear on our mantle : )
Laurie S says
FAB ME!
I have a little red table in my living room that I love.
Kelly W says
Fab Me!
Loving my old school papasan with the bright orange cushion. Perfect quirkiness and pop of color all in one!
Claire says
FAB ME!
Right now I have this paper lamp that has a very Victorian design on it. It’s kind of odd but I really love it!
Bethany Darragh says
FAB ME! I am slowly starting to love color, so my fav thing right now is a giant yellow floor vase in my living room holding some curly willow from my wedding.
Erika says
FAB ME!
Bubbles, my turquoise stuffed animal kitty cat with bright polka dots, is probably one of my quirkier items (at least for a 36 year old!).
keri says
FAB ME! Everything in my home could be on this website. soinlove.
Kelli says
FAB ME! I’ve got a small rustic wooden planter filled with blingy (pearl and rhinestone) sticks from the floral dept at Hobby Lobby that I use as my jewelry holder. It’s so unconventional that I still occasionally second guess it, but every time I decide once again that I DO love it.
Jill says
FAB ME!
I have a great Andy Warhol poster of the Statue of Liberty that I took from my brother (his wife did not like it). I had it framed in a huge modern silver frame and it fills one wall in my home. I LOVE it.
Meg says
FAB ME! The quirkiest thing in my house is a framed print of “Coyote Ben Franklin”, which I bought when I was a teenager, likely because it matched my comforter. I’ve grown to love that strange thing though…and he’s quite the conversation starter. I am saddened that a google image search does not show any evidence of Coyote Ben Franklin, because I think you really have to see it to believe it.
Kim says
FAB ME!!!!! That would be the bright/bold floral 90’s wallpaper in my powder room.
Jamie says
FAB ME!! I have a ton of ceramic cupcakes. I love them all!
Kelly D says
Fab me! I have pretty traditional furniture, but a great chair that I recovered in a bold curtain panel I found on clearance at Target. It gets so many compliments!
Sandy says
FAB ME!
I have a sign on the door leading in to my garage from the house that says “Got Badge?” as a reminder to take my work identification badge with me as I’m leaving the house. Without it, I can’t gain access to my computer once I arrive at work, so it means a 84 mile roundtrip to retrieve. A very painful mistake!
Christy says
FAB ME! I love the view in our hallway looking into all 3 of our bedrooms. I painted the house mostly neutrals, but the bedrooms are green, aqua and light blue. I didn’t realize it until after they were painted but they fade into one another and I love it!
Stephanie says
FAB ME! I am probably the quirkiest thing in my house, but as far as inanimate objects go, I have an orange velvet wing chair from my great aunts – I keep meaning to recover it, but I can’t bring myself to eradicate their orange just yet!
Allison says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest thing in my house is a bar mirror I bought at a thrift store. It’s an advertisement for whiskey, and there’s a silhouette of a bowler hat, bow tie and jacket and your reflection provides the face. My husband hates it but he loves me so he let me bring it in the house anyway!
H Zenger says
FAB ME FAB ME

FAB ME FAB ME
Strangely awesome piece in our home is an old grain feed bin as a side table in all its original glory! Yahoo!
Betsy says
fab me! i have a bold picture in our bathroom of a local bar in our area of indianapolis.
