***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 a pretty awesome collection of ewoks (from Return of the Jedi) and mogwais (think Gizmo).
Dani M. says
Fab me! My daughter’s nursery is painted bright blue and soft orange. It’s fun and playful, and it was a blast accessorizing with poppies and a white dresser with orange knobs.
Julie says
FAB ME!
My purple mirror in the bathroom. It was a garage sale find that I spray painted. It is unexpected and adds charm to our guest bath. I love it!
Mari says
FAB ME!
I recently purchased a ceramic doxie candy dish from Target. It’s white with a pink nose.
Crystal says
FAB ME! I have a colorful ceramic elephant cookie jar that I love, but my apartment could definitely use some more quirk!
Bree says
FAB ME!
I adore Fab! I think one of the best quirky thing I have in my house would have to be a picture of a sea monster being scared by a sock puppet on his tail. It makes me giggle. I finally got it framed and hung it up in the guest bathroom. In hopes that it will also make my guest giggle.
I have two other pictures by the same artist that I need to find places to hang. Like a rocking out skunk and a hamster caught up in a toaster cord. Oh what fun. :)
Becky says
My husband loves “country”…we’re talking plaid, deer heads, etc. Yuck! When we bought new living room furniture though, I bent and let him pick out a plaid fabric for “his” accent chair…and it looks amazing! :)
Janice says
FAB ME!
We have big space invader stickers on one wall of my son’s room . . . I love hanging out in there
sarah says
FAB ME!!!
I am reupholstering an old chair in a bold geometric pattern.
Katie Kerr says
Fab Me!!! Quirkiest thing in my house is our boot scraper wiener dog that I bought my husband for our first Christmas.
Cassie says
Fab Me!
I love my bright green elephant piggy bank (elephant bank?!) and all my elephant accessories!
Katie says
FAB ME!
I’m not known for being colorful…
But I ‘ve just added some chalkboard paint to a metal vent that runs up through our kitchen. It’s the new message centre and art board for all of my stepdaughter’s colorful creations!
Emily R. says
Fab Me! I would love some fun pillows or quirky lampshades. I have a pretty traditional house and I want to pep it up!
Amy says
FAB ME! I love the mural in my daughter’s room, it’s like entering a sunshine filled garden full of flowers and butterflies.
Mireille says
Oops –
FAB ME! I love my bright and yet surprisingly elegant pink & gold tablecloth!
Genevieve says
FAB ME!
Guests have said our place already looks like a bohemian art gallery, but perhaps my favorite “odd” piece is a large Word Tree I made for my husband out of an old Thesaurus. It’s pretty, quirky, and definitely gets commented on!
Laura says
FAB ME! My favorite colorful thing in my house is definitely my bright red Ikea bookshelves that hold all of my favorites!
Hilary Smith says
FAB ME!
My mother makes beautiful quilts, and one of the quilts she gifted me is several shades of purple. It’s our cuddle blanket and I love that it matches nothing!
Danae says
Fab me!
I have a fun little red ceramic horse head named Max. In addition to about a million other quirky-to-my-husband but awesome-to-me things!
Angela says
FAB ME!
The teal color on the walls in my kitchen!
Keilah says
FAB ME! I guess I don’t have anything too quirky, and that is not good. Now i’m going to be on the hunt for something quirky to add interest and spice to our home! :) I guess the wierdest thing is an awesome wall sticker map of the world that’s black with colorful animals all over it.
Alyssa says
Fab me!
I have a quirky arm chair that i picked up at a thrift store. I meant to have it reupholstered, but grew to love it’s colorful fabric. Glad I kept it as is!
Jessi says
FAB ME!!!
And I love the faux tiger skin rug we have in our baby girls nursery. It’s a wool pile rug sized about 5×3… Complete with head, tail and four legs! Very fun… :)
Thanks so much! Hope I’m lucky….
Stevie says
Fab Me! Sadly, I have very very few pieces of colorful anything in our house except our little fish tank. We have little pieces of fun coral in there and our clown fish named Ernie (Bert died a few weeks ago…sad day). Otherwise our house is draped in neutrals, much to my displeasure. 500 big ones to fab.com would certain remedy that situation! But not so much the dead fish situation.
Michelle Vinson says
FAB ME!
Our TV sits on a bright yellow TROLLSTA console from Ikea. We love how it adds such a pop of color to the room :)
Erin says
“FAB ME!”
My husband have custom paper dolls of ourselves and our two dogs that we framed in a shadow box. Not your average family portrait, but we love our quirky piece of artwork.
Rachel says
FAB ME!! I have a colorful elephant piggy bank. I totally use it as a decoration in our office – I love it.
Natalie says
FAB ME!
So we have a collage wall with 30 vintage paint by number dogs (that were painted by people I don’t know) and I kind of love it.
becca says
FAB ME!
Probably the bold Chagall print: Birthday. I love all the pops of color.
Katie e says
FAB ME! my favorite quirky piece I have in my house is my grandmother’s wooden lion chair it has roaring lion heads at the ends of the arms and I recovered it in some funky fabric and it is just so cool and fun to me :)
Natalie says
FAB ME!
I have those huge retro wooden fork and spoon spray painted a bright green hanging in my kitchen. Also our office chairs are reproduction eiffel chairs in bright orange and purple.
Kacy says
Fab me!
We accidentally ended up with two bright purple rooms in our house…..one on each floor!
Cynthia says
FAB ME!
Quirkiest item has to be the handmade African tapestry hanging above my couch.
Robyn R. says
FAB ME! Our bright yellow, abstract painting of our beloved pup, Maddie, is super fab and a fav!
Lauren says
FAB ME!
I love my house’s strange collection of art- especially postcards that I use as art. I have over 300, but my current favorite is an edited collection of black and white ones over my couch.
Lesley says
FAB ME! I painted a wall in our entry way with 2 tone chevron stripes. To coordinate with way too much other chevron stuff in our living and dining rooms.
Mary says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest part of our house (so far) is the Ganesh niche. I have a collection of Ganesh (Indian elephant god) figurines and memorabilia, which we have collected together over the years. I recently hauled a 2-foot-tall Ganesh statue home from a trip to India to add to the collection.
LScheffer says
FAB ME! I have the most amazing hand sketch done by my sister-in-law of my son as a baby. It is probably one of my prized posessions, but it doesn’t exactly go with my home decor.
Mike says
FAB ME!
We’ve got an giant octopus poster in our bathroom that looks like its attacking whoever’ is walking in. Big fan.
Renee says
FAB ME!
Nothing in our home is colorful…yet.
Ellen says
Fab Me!
I have a drawing that my grandmother got when she lived in Brazil that my husband reframed as a gift. We’ve built our whole living room around it.
stephanie says
FAB ME!
I have a huge lampshade in my living room that’s the perfect shade of red-orange. I’ve carried the color into a few other rooms through paint and accessories and I love the pops of coordinated color throughout the house.
kristin says
fab me!
original artwork :)
Melissa says
Fab Me! I have this great vintage manequin head that is made of styrofoam and hand painted. It resides on the bookshelf in my family room. I love the quirkiness of it. It’s a definite conversation piece.
Katie says
FAB ME!
Everything is obscenely colorful in my home. I have lots of framed vintage travel prints in the living room, fun plates and bowls in the kitchen and dining room, and lots of eclectic floral pieces in the guest room (including a little table I spray painted purple). I love colors!
vicky k says
fab me!
the new rug in the nursery we are finishing :) :)
