***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 “Burn Book” a la Mean Girls that my best friend made for me as a birthday gift. Instead of characters from the movies, it features my friends and me and is absolutely hilarious.
Thank you! :)
Heather says
FAB ME! Oh, I think a white elephant statue with painted yellow tusks takes the cake on quirky in our house.
Jane Nelson says
FAB ME! We have a Barry Bonds bobblehead in our house, compliments of my husband . . .
Robyn says
FAB ME!
I’ve got a teal sign my best friend bought me from Wales that says ‘it’s a pirate’s life for me’. Love it.
Rachel says
FAB ME!
I have a hanging egg chair in a library nook. It’s everyone’s favorite chair :)
Melissa says
FAB ME! My set of mustache mugs that sit out on our counter!
Jennah says

Andrea says
FAB ME!
My husband and I found an “Employees Must Wash Hands” sign in Office Depot and bought it on a whim. We put it in our guest bathroom and it always gets lots of laughs from visitors.
mary says
fab me!
I love all things quirky and weird
Rachel says
FAB ME!
My most colorful/quirky item in my house would have to be the bed quilt that I made from 30+ different Batik Fabrics. It adds a huge (and occastionally overwhelming) punch of bright colors to liven up bland rooms :)
asiya says
FAB ME!
i love my yellow bowl with cut out paper doll shapes that i keep nail polish in, makes me super happy!
Erin says
FAB ME!
The weirdest thing we have that I love is a ceramic bobble head of my husband. My husband is a high school history teacher, and one of his students made it for him. I love it because it is hilarious, creative, and detailed (right down to my husband’s favorite UCLA tie), and because it warms my cold-lawyer-heart that one of his students liked him enough to make it for him!
Jess @ Little House. Big Heart. says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky piece is probably the new art print I bought of Dallas and its neighborhoods. I love it!
Melissa says
FAB ME! I have a chaise lounge chair that is bright yellow, orange, blue, green and full of triangles, circles, etc. Totally obnoxious and totally awesome all in one.
Kristen Miller says
FAB ME!
I have a mason jar chandelier in my foyer :)
Hannah says
FAB ME!
Liz says
FAB ME!
I can tell you the story of all of the art in my house–I like it to be personal, and much of it was made by family or friends. I’ve also managed to squish an upright piano into my 710 sq ft house, not an easy feat! And my orange kitchen used to be more of an oddity, but it’s becoming more trendy. I still love it, which is something for a person for whom “light and airy” is the primary decorating scheme!

Gretchen says
FAB ME! We have pillows on our bed that look like Scrabble pieces that have the letters of our first names on them.
Wendy Adams-Good says

Our antique chair with the lions heads carved in the arms would have to be the quirkiest thing we have…

Jeanne O. says
Fab Me!
My favorite possession is a very colorful dragon painting by my sister.
Danielle says
FAB ME!
I love our three library card catalogs. Each is from a different era (40’s, 60’s, and 80’s) but despite the style differences they all work in our home. (And are great conversation pieces to boot!)
Lindsey says
FAB ME! Quirkiest item is my Helvetica Bear print. No one besides me (a graphic designer) sees the humor in a bear wearing a shirt that says “Helvetica” hanging in one’s living room :)
Erin says
FAB ME!
I found this old floor lamp that was going to the dumpster so I saved it, painted it a bright aqua,and put a big yellow lampshade on it. I love it and it’s the perfect place to set your drinks on when watching t.v. on the couch (did I mention it has a circulcar table around the middle of it?)It’s colorful and a bit quirky!
Megan says
I’m a biologist so I keep a lot of found antlers, turtle shells, and horns around the house as decor. The good news is they bring the outdoors in but the bad news is that some havent been fully cleaned and smell awful.
Megan says
FAB ME!
I love my teal lamp that I have in my living room. Its an unexpected color for a lamp and it is two large spheres on top of each other with a unique texture. I fell in love with it when I saw it a few years ago, and it is still one of my favorite things in my apartment!
Courtney Leigh says
FAB ME!!
I love our neon green Buddha and our collect of creepy women/doll prints in our hallway.
Lauren says
FAB ME!
The most colorful thing in our house is definitely our art. Everything from family photos to oil paintings.

amanda says
FAB ME!
I made a pillow out of this 70s looking floral fabric. It was one of my first sewing projects and nothing about it matches the rest of the living room. But I’m too proud of it to move it anywhere else!
Mel S. says
FAB ME!
I bought the book “Underwater Dogs” and cut out some of the photos and framed them. It never fails to crack me up whenever I walk into our living room.
Ashley E says
FAB ME!
I love these little old cowboy boots that sit on a bookcase in our living room. They belonged to a relative when he was a little boy. They’re just adorable.
Stacie says
FAB ME! I have a ceramic pup that is a dead ringer for my real pup. Every time I glance at the little ceramic guy I think of the tragic end of Sherry’s ceramic greyhound..so sad!
Julie says
FAB ME! I love my indigo wool rug!
Nikki says
FAB ME! We have accent walls in every room and a lot of fun photos of family and friends that add color and spirit!
Liz says
FAB ME! My husband would DIE if we won this. And then he’d get up and spend the entire $500 on a quirky dog crate or something. We have a large chunky-framed ornate mirror that used to be gold-ish but we spray painted it burnt orange. People always act surprised when they see it.
Jess says
FAB ME!
I have a wall of colorful plates from various trips and occasions.
Stefanie says
We have an old (burnt orange/goldish) wingback chair in our living room that I adore and my husband could do without…but me and everyone else we know think it’s great and a classic piece!
Sunnie says
FAB ME!! I have 3 glass mannequin heads in my bathroom and I have a small fake gold moose taxidermy (that I made) in my kitchen! (And this is just scratching the surface of the quirkiness of our home!
Stacy L. says
FAB ME!
I have a quilt that was started by my great-grandmother and worked on by my grandmother as well. It still needs to be bound, but I love its bright colors on our guest bed.
Sarah says
FAB ME!!
I have the pico orange fox pillow in our guest room :)
Melynee says
FAB ME!
I’m a devoted fan of mixing up sheet sets: a nice stripey topsheet here with a paisley fitted sheet and pillowcases…
