***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 love this giveaway! I made a bulletin board by covering a corkboard with a cotton Chinese print complete with pagodas, dragons, flowers, etc. I love it so much that I removed all of the stuff that I pinned to it and hung it in our living room as art.
Amanda says
FAB ME!
We just framed a neon yellow poster from a Black Crowes show that we saw on our honeymoon. It’s definitely out of the ordinary for our semi-modern/semi-traditional vibe (think rock poster in a Scandinavian farmhouse). But it has great memories and it brings a much needed splash of color to a house full of neutrals!
Anne says
FAB ME! I love the painting my mom made for our wedding. It still hangs over our living room couch.
Lauren says
FAB ME!
A blue ceramic horse!
Gail says
FAB ME! I am in love with little ceramic frogs..There all over my house..

I love the carved wooden Abraham Lincoln toilet paper holder that my sweet Grandpa Bud made for me!

Fab me!!! I have this great hand batiked fabric from he Bahamas that I’ve turned into a table runner, pillow cases and even ornaments… Super quirky and I love it!
Liz C. says
FAB ME!
We’re still finding our “funk” – would love to add a pop of coral or kelly green into our blue, cream and pale yellow pallet.
Vannessa says
Fab Me! Right now I dont have anything quirky, but I would love a Large Bold print in my living/dining area, a friend of mine does and it looks great!
Meghan says

FAB ME!
The big tree (vinyl decal) on my daughter’s bedroom wall – it makes her room magical!
Rachel says
FAB ME! Please! When I was in Paris two years ago I took a ton of pictures of their bright doors. I then framed them in the white Ikea frames you guys have with custom mats to adjust for all of the door sizes. I LOVE the bold color calmed by the white frames, and of course they are a fantastic reminder of that special trip! Hope you guys are well!
Tracie@MiddleClassMod says
Fab me! I have this screenprint of zebras hanging in my foyer. http://www.middleclassmodern.com/2012/10/the-art-in-our-house.html
I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who likes Betty and Blanche (the zebras).
Kirstin Jansen says

Fab Me! One of the quirky things in our house are some tiny plastic animals that are scattered around in odd places!
Amy @ Elephant Eats says
FAB ME!
I have a huge tryptic of a gorgeous photograph of an oak tree in a field. It’s mainly yellow and sunny and it looks amazing against my blue walls. I got it in Union Square, nyc, during one of my weekend trips to the farmer’s market, so it will always remind me of my time in NY no matter where I end up moving!
Also, I LOVE fab.com. I’ve bought so many presents off of there for my husband!
Lisa says
FAB ME! I have a funky, colrful mosaic tile plaque hanging in my kitchen. It was my mom’s when I was born so it has a lot of 70’s charm.
A.. says
FAB ME!
I love colourful cushions scattered all over my apartment!
Rhiannon says
FAB ME
probably the pouffe in our living room I’m recovering in a great print. it feels very out there for me!
Heather says
FAB ME!!
I’d say the most quirky thing in my house is my collection of armadillos! :) I’ve been collecting them for years and have some really awesome wooden and ceraminc ones. Oh, and I am really jealous of that gold armadillo print you got back before Christmas!
Liz says
FAB ME!!!! I’m dying for the colorful rugs they have!
Andrea says
FAB ME!! I don’t think we have anything too quirky in our house yet. I did make a huge book page wreath though and everyone that sees it tries to figure it out!
Helene S says
Fab me!
My quirky thing is my french chair found in switzerland, at an estate sale that i recovered with fabric from Guatemala. It is definitely fab and colorful!
Stefanie says
FAB ME!
I have this quirky hand painted clay lizard on my wall. It’s from a cute shop in Provincetown, MA. It makes for a great pop of color!
lara says
“FAB ME!” My favorite weird or quirky thing is a hideous fuzzy blanket that my MIL got me for Xmas a couple years ago – but it is so heavy and soft, I sleep with it every night!
Jules says
FAB ME!
Courtney says
FAB ME!
I need more bold and colorful decorations!
Kristina says
FAB ME!
Weird and quirky… Hmmm, besides myself!? Haha. I guess the weirdest, quirkiest thing would be the collection of neon lights in mah mans office. We’re talking parrots, palm trees, coca cola, obnoxiously large lightbulbs, you name it! I totally love them cause they’re soooo him and I love him! #cuetheawws
abby r says
FAB ME!
I have mini Holland clogs hanging in my kitchen.
Amy says
<3 FAB ME!
The quirkiest part of our house is the collection of llamas. I have stuffed animal llamas, a marionette llama, llamas made of actual llama/alpaca wool, and a llama topped business card holder.
Mary says
Fab Me!
We have a wonderful bright orange/red chair in our living room that I picked up at a large re-sell it store in St. Louis for $30. We have nothing too colorful in our house, so it really pops against the dark wood floors and the mocha couch. I carried it out to my car without first thinking where it could possibly fit. Too large for my trunk. I turned it upside down and was able to fit it on the passenger seat. I think it was a great find!
Meghan M says
FAB ME!!! I have a bright green tea kettle and a red Kitchenaid mixer. They brighten up my white kitchen.
Bailey says
FAB ME!
I recently discovered my old “My Little Pony” collection and now have them on display in my daughters room to give it some fun color and memories.
Emily W says
FAB ME!
Our kitchen has 2 canvases on the wall that I painted last year on a whim (it was a rainy sunday & I got my acrylic paint on!). They turned out to be pretty whimsical & when we moved, we designed the new kitchen around them!
Sarah H says
FAB ME!!!! I have the best yellow medallion curtains in my living room….from an amazing Etsy seller!
JP says
Fab ME!
I love my 20×200 print of Luke Skywalker in the little side nook of my hall coat closet. It hangs above my ebay-acquired coat hooks. I installed red grasscloth wallpaper and I framed the print in one of Target’s floating frames so the wallpaper peeps through. He looks like he’s gearing up which is appropriate because the hooks are where the kids store their school gear.
Tricia G says
FEB ME!!! We have a bold piece of Bike art over our mantel that we love! I know bikes hold a special place for you guys too!
Kate says
FAB ME! I have lots of old hand-me-down lamps. They’re pretty dated on their own but actually look good with more modern things in my apartment.
Jonna Gallo says
FAB ME! I have a vase that used to be an Orangina bottle filled with fake flowers that is ugly as all get out, but my son made it for me for Mother’s Day when he was 4. I can’t get rid of it.
Kym V. says
FAB ME!
We have these cool infinity signs that Leo the woodcarver made right in front of us with a machete on our honeymoon in Belize. They are imperfect and I just love that about them.
Erin says
FAB ME!
I love this old wood and cushions rocking chair I once grabbed from the side of the road in a fancy neighborhood. It’s so comfy and the fabric is outstanding!
sally says
Fab Me! I love my Dala Horses – and I have four of them. Dala Horses are very orange, painted with swirly colors on small, folk artsy wooden carved horses from Sweden.
