***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!
A friend who was living in Korea when we got married last summer sent us wooden ducks as a wedding gift. Apparently you’re supposed to display them on your mantle facing each other, and then turn them back to back when you’re fighting. Everyone asks about them and sometimes we turn them back to back just to see if our friends are paying attention when they visit. :)
Camille says

The only quirky thing about our newly moved into fixer-upper is that each and every room is painted a different pastel colour…..that shall be one of the first things to tackle.
Avalon says

We have this ridiculous (I think. My husband loves it) picture hanging on the wall in our basement.

FAB ME!
I have a set of two photographs that I bought at an art/antique fair in Buenos Aires from this really cool artist. One of the pictures depicts a man looking at something far away while standing in a field. The other has that same man laying in a field. People often wonder just what’s going on there.
MartiC says
FAB ME!
I love quirky lamps – I have a frog lamp, a rooster lamp, and an eiffel tower (that one’s less quirky, lots of people have them)
Crystal says
FAB ME!

FAB ME…I love my old bright lipstick red leather couch. It’s never leaving me.

Fab Me!!! I have quite a few quirky things… but maybe my favorite is a homemade bust of Lincoln I found at a thrift store a few months ago.
Stephanie Ooten says
FAB ME! The fixture over my kitchen table is an oval drum light I got on clearance at Lowes for… 18.00! I recovered the shade in a mustard yellow lattice print fabric. I also have a few ceramic animal hanging out on top of my cabinets.
LaurenO says
FAB ME! I have a big piece of painted plywood hanging in my living room. It has a quote from Ray Bradbury (one of my favorite authors) on it “I don’t believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously.” Love it!
Melissa says
FAB ME!
I love our animal-themed kitchen goods. An egg beater that’s an egg with a funny face, standing on its feet. A pig-shaped ice cream scoop. Our set of squirrel-whisks. Cat-shaped bottle of wine (that we’ve reused as an olive oil dispenser).
shana says
fab me! i have a piece of colorful home made art that we love!
jen says
FAB ME! i guess you could call our whole house quirky. we are in that first house, still a mish mash of stuff stage, with toddlers running around. Hopefully that will change soon!
rebecca says
FAB ME
Lots of kid art
Kristen S says
FAB ME! My husband has this creepy stuffed piranha that he loves to hide in places around the house until someone notices and asks “is that a piranha?!” then he moves it to another spot until someone finds it. It’s longest running spot was over a year living on a beam in our loft. Its strange, and creepy, and hilarious when someone finds it!
Amy L says
FAB ME!
My most colorful and loved possession is an apple-green Kitchenaid stand mixer. It was a wedding present from my in-laws. Just seeing it on my kitchen counter makes me happy, and the treats it helps me make, bring happiness to others. It is a candy-colored happiness FACTORY!
Ellen says
FAB ME!
We were gifted a very cool wooden frame for our wedding, and my husband immediately put in it a birthday card with a picture of Bill and Hillary Clinton straight out of the 70s on the front. It was meant to be funny, but it has stayed up for over 3 years now and been the start of more wonderful conversations with friends and guests than anything else in our home!
Jill says
Fab me! I have an asian inspired shell pendant in our bathroom its quirky, oversized, and FAB! :)
Jane Y. says
FAB ME!
I have this weird, cute little turtle porcelain thingamajig that my mom bought at a flea market years ago. I stole it in college because I wanted something to remind me of her!
Margaret says
“FAB ME!” A lime green dish the size of a dinner plate. It’s supposed to be a fish with one creepy bright red eye….it was a gift from my MIL…I’m not sure love is the right word.
Mollie says
FAB ME!!!
In my huband’s family, it is tradition to give a chicken (decorative, not real) as a wedding present. The idea is that once you’ve opened that, all of the presents have to at least be better than the wedding chicken. I LOVE ours, however and have it prominently displayed. Next step is to paint it an outrageously bright color. Maybe citrine? Maybe orange?
Dani says
Fab me! I love my teal and lime curtains! They brighten my day :)
Barb L says
FAB ME!
Probably the quirkiest item in my house currently is my dog’s bed. It totally screams 1973 but he loves it and it’s actually big enough for him! (He’s 100 pounds.) Eventually I’ll get around to making a slightly less quirky/cheesy covering, but for now it works!
emily says
FAB ME!
oooooohmigosh, I need to win this one! I’m a huge Fab addict! Aaand, one of my newest favorite things I actually got off of the site – a hanging chalkboard map that I’ve colored in (states I’ve lived in are green, visited are yellow) and hung in my entryway. Love it!
Shawn Murphy says
FAB ME!
I’m in need of more prints for our house and Fab has a ton of great ones. Snagged one earlier this week and the addiction has already started.
Kristinah Henson says
Fab Me!!
I have this awesome vintage paint-by-number of a little girl holding a clown doll! It’s very creepy-cool!
Cori says
Fab me!!! I love my bright yellow-gold dresser used as a buffet in my dining room!
Hillary says
FAB ME!
My husband has a monkey lamp from his bachelor days (10+ years ago) that lives in our living room. I’m not in love with it, but he is. Maybe my 2 year old will “accidentally” knock it over someday and we’ll find something equally unique to replace it with.
hannah says
FAB ME! I love my yellow pepper coloured mixer. It makes my kitchen so bright and fun.
Liz says
Fab me! A giant turquoise industrial fan in front of our fire place. Something about really serious things painted brought colors really cheers me up!
