***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)

FAB ME!
I’m not into color (at all) but last summer I was feeling adventurous and painted a dark mirror hanging in my entryway a bright turquoise blue. I’ve gotten more compliments on it than anything else in my house. Since then, I’ve added an apple green rug in my kitchen…watch out! :)
rachel says
FAB ME!!!!
I’ve got a super circle mirror that’s got hundreds of colors in it! AND it was $4!
Jenni says
FAB ME!
I visited a friend in Belgium several years ago and bought a souvenir for my husband (he loved the cartoon Tintin as a kid). They are tiny plastic figurines of Tintin and his dog Snowy [Milou] dressed in bright orange space suits from one of their comics. I like to place them nonchalantly around the house for people to find as a surprise. They really don’t fit in with anything else, and that is why I love them.
Ashley says
FAB ME!
My grandmother’s 1940’s sake-print (like, shot glasses and bottles) two piece bathing suit made for her by her mother, my great-grandmother, is on my wall in my sewing room. I think that qualifies as quirky!
ellen says
FAB ME!! we inherited some retro quirks in the kitchen of our house. original push button stove controls set into the backsplash (no longer functional) and a built-in mixer plus all of it attachments (still functional). We love showing off the vintage booklets featuring mother/daughter cooking duo. Don’t forget the pearls and aprons!

Rosanne Catron says
FAB ME!
Oh my gosh I have so many quirky and slightly strange decorations. Lots of masks and wooden figures – people sometimes say it’s a bit creepy.
Yancey says
FAB ME! I love all the colorful paint colors in our living spaces! Color makes us happy!
Anni says
FAB ME!

Kaitlin Jenkins says
FAB ME! Whimsical and quirky fit in well at our home….we love it all!
Lori says
Fab Me!
I use my amazing (costume) jewelry collection as decoration in my guest room. It’s on wall hangers, pooled inside antique soap dishes, hanging from nails in the walls, draped across the window sills, everywhere you look. When I see ads for jewelry boxes or containers, I always cringe! Why keep all that beauty covered up??
Rebecca H. says
FAB ME! Our master bedroom is painted a light lime-y green with custom-made Roman shades in a bold print (that we inherited from the previous owners, but I actually like!)
Jennifer says
FAB ME!!
I really love my daughter’s bright red Ikea highchair that we bought a few months ago. I wasn’t sure about the red, but now I really love it!
Sarah says
FAB ME! I love the tone-on-tone flower mural I painted in my dining room – it’s kind of in the style of Dr. Seuss, but the monochromatic colors keep it from being too crazy!
keegan says
fab me!
slowly growing my colorful pillow collection to rival sherry’s!
MelanieO says
FAB ME!
I have three gorgeous purple glass bottles that I found in a thrift store. It’s my favorite color and I use them ALL the time for various purposes, so they make me really happy!

Mary A says
FAB ME! I heart Fab.
Shannon Whitney says
FAB ME! I have a quilt sewn from panties that I made for an art project in college. I worked long and hard on it, so I’m determined to keep using it. My friends and family think it’s hilarious and scandalous.
Nicole Harris says

delynne says
FAB ME! Painted tin cans…yes I call them shabby chic!
Jennifer Boylan says
FAB ME!
I have a lobster on my dresser for my rings. I found it at the thrift shop and painted it yellow. I know it makes no sense. My husband, who is from the east coast thinks it’s crazy to have a yellow lobster… but I love it!

FAB ME! I have a cat, that does tricks!
Sarah says
FAB ME! I have a couple quirky, hand-made african statues that I love!
Allison says
FAB ME!
When I moved into my place last year, I furnished the whole thing with hand-me-downs and Kijiji purchases. But then I saw this adorable apple green and white patterned ottoman at Winners and had to have it. Nobody seems to like it! My bff told me it’s too “grandma-ish”. But I love it, and it makes me smile!
Jessica says
FAB ME! I LOVE that boston terrier puppy pillow!! Something quirky in our home… our two big collages made from postcards. They were from places we traveled to and we had our wedding guests sign them like our guest book.
Rhonda says
Fab me!!
We have watercolors and mixed media art pieces from the different countries we’ve visited. It started with some pieces from Germany that my husband’s parents gave him over a decade ago. It’s grown and we love remembering our away time together.
Kate says
Fab Me! We love our collection of vacation fish. We look for cool, colorful fish when we go on vacation- they can be wood, metal, glass or whatever. The “school of fish” swims on a wall in my son’s room and it is a constant reminder of past family vacation.s
Megan C. says
FAB ME.
I have a sweet little yarn covered hippopotamus on my mantel, he has 2 owl friends that sit next to him, one that is tall and regal and one sweet round little nugget owl.
Andrea says
FAB ME!
Our master is positively screaming for new bedding, fun throw pillows, and new curtains. Green walls + green comforter + green shams = too much green!
Kate says
FAB ME!
I have a pair of large gold lamps in my entry way. I put black drum shades and tassles on them, they look fab to me. Kindy gaudy yet really fab
Tiffany T. says

Fab me! African masks in our living room. Pretty quirky, I’d say!
Beverly says
Fab Me!
My favorite quirky thing outside my house is our front door. I painted it a great bold turquoise about a 16 months ago and I love it! We have a tan house with black shutters so it really pops. Inside, I have a wonderful sunburst mirror in the my dining room that is really fun.
Betsy says
FAB ME!
I have a set of pink fish made out of pipe cleaners that my great grandma used to have in her bathroom. They’re so ugly they’re awesome.
Beth Craig says
FAB ME please!
I think my favourite quirky piece could be a tiny wooden rhino my dad whittled as a kid I have sitting on a shelf in the rec room. He’s so cute!
Allison says
FAB ME!
We’re full of quirk at our place thanks to a slight thrifting & crafting addiction. Maybe our giant 1960’s green tweedy pintuck couch which looks much cooler than it sounds.
