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.

    We have a wooden milk crate hung by the door that we house our keys, cell phones, letters that need to be mailed etc… It is a little weird but we think it’s pretty neato!

    FAB ME! I guess the quirkiest part of the house is that I hide small toys around. There’s a lady bug peaking out of a plant, and a wind up frog by the cook books. Makes me smile!

    Fab Me! I loooove so many quirky things, but my couch from craigslist might be my favorite, just because it is big, brown, and so soft and comfy. It was a great find, and doesn’t really match anything in the house, but I can’t get rid of it!

    I have an old kid desk with an inkwell that sat in my living room as an end table for years. It was my desk in school (obviously held over from many, many years before – I’m not that old) and that always stumped people before I had kids.

    I recently bought a Nate Berkus nautilus from Target. I had a giant nautilis fossil growing up, but it was broken a few years ago and this is a fun modern reminder of the fossil that I always loved.

    colorful, thoughtful and slightly irreverent is our thing when it comes to home decor. my favorites are a toss-up between our gurgling cods (boston originals, and the inspiration for the gurgling whale pitchers that jonathan adler and others have put out lately) and my multi-colored, magnetic, dis-articulate-able skull. all of these sit in places of honor on our mantlepiece. =)

    One colorful/unique thing I have is two framed “blue dog” fans from Rodrigue. We got them for free during an art street fair when we were visiting New Orleans! I decided to frame them and play up the bright yellow eyes with yellow matting in the frame!

    One of my favorite accent pieces in my home is the chalkboard in the kitchen. We had an old framed mirror that we revamped by taking the mirror out and spraying the frame teal. We then painted a section of the wall with chalkboard paint and hung the frame around it. Its now a place for notes and lists and unexpected greetings.
