***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…

Emily R. says
FAB ME!
Does a water heater in a bedroom closet count (in no way up to code but okay until I change it)? Maybe a Wedgwood stove in the kitchen.
Bethany says
FAB ME!
I don’t have anything that I would consider quirky…others might beg to differ :)
Gauri says
FAB ME! The strangest thing in my apartment is a huge, bright yellow birdcage from Pottery Barn which currently sits on top of my kitchen cabinets (the only place it would fit).
Kelly says
FAB ME!
My favourite quirky item in our house is a storage ottoman covered in a bright green leaf fabric – adds a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral room!

FAB ME!
I bought a multi-colored ceramic bull in Barcelona – I LOVE IT! It add so much personality to our built-ins!

FAB ME!
I have this fantastic chartreuse-colored medalion mirror in my entry way that everyone comments on!
Kate says
FAB ME!!
Not necessarily house related, but the brightest things I own are my clothes. I have a thing for neon pink t-shirts. Really brings out my eyes. ;)
Amy Dixon says
FAB ME! I love my entry way table made from recovered pieces of molding and boards from old houses…all painted different colors.
Jen S. says
FAB ME!
My favorite pieces in my house are the cute vintage pieces I have scored over the years at really great prices. I have two very shabby chic nightstands in my room that I got for $35.00 for the pair. They were already painted the perfect light blue with the kind of beat up imperfections that I love about shabby chic. They are really heavy and well made with dove joints and all. I’m also in love with my collection of ceramic birds and owls. I cannot resist them :)
Carlene says
FAB ME!
I love these two mid-century gold, velvet tufted chairs we found on Craigslist for $80 (for the PAIR!) *Please disregard the corny Holiday Letter that may or may not be the main page from this.
amy says
Fab me!! I have a big, white ceramic deer head on my white marble mantle. I LOVE IT!!
jennifer says
FAB ME!
While not quirky or wierd unto its self my jacobean era bed is most unusual in my otherwise pottery barn style home. I bought it years ago from a thrift store during my “goth” youth. I didn’t realize how old it was then, these days I’m fascinated by its age! I will probably sell it to finance my daughter’s college education though.
