***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)

FAB ME!
My favorite quirky items are my all-over-yellow garden gnomes. Gunther is the oldest brother (he’s the biggest), then comes Hans, and then comes Little Klaus. They do such a good job protecting my balcony garden. They’re resting now for the winter but will come out full-force once the spring arrives! I love them so.
Emily says
FAB ME!!! The quirkiest thing in our house are the twin duvet covers hanging as curtains in the dining room, but they actually look really great. I get tons of compliments and people are surprised they’re duvet covers.
Tiffany says
FAB ME! I love the globe lamp I picked up on Etsy a few years back as well as the polka dot curtains I just made myself in our kitchen. Some items from Fab would really kick our place up a notch!
Karen Gibson says
FAB ME! PLEASE… and thank you! :)
Natalie Royall says
Fab me!! I have a van gogh… just a cheap canvas print my mom found at a flea market, and I strung heart lights around it. It’s very quirky looking but it makes me smile everytime I walk by it.
Amanda R says
FAB ME!
I have a purple arm chair from college that has followed me around for years and several apartments that I just can’t seem to part with! It’s too big for my current apartment, so I might just have to “store it” for awhile until I bite the bullet to get rid of it…
Charlotte says
FAB ME!
A little felted zombie doll a friend made me as part of a set for all our friends.
Kasey says
FAB ME!!
My favorite thing is a pillow I had made from an old t-shirt that says, “Book lovers never go to bed alone!”
Lauren says
Fab Me!
I have bold colors throughout my home but just got two new throw pillows in navy and teal with hexagons all over! LOVE
Shannon says
Fab me!
The quirkiest thing in our house that I love is a portrait my uncle had painted in Mexico of my husband and I when we got engaged. He looks like Bill Gates and I have at least 20 extra pounds in my hips and Our Lady of Guadalupe is hovering over the whole scene, but I still love it because it is so crazy.
Jessica says
FAB ME!
We have a lot of quirky little stuff hanging around – a large beaded hippo, a hand-painted rc “magic bus,” a carved coconut skull, a zombie painting… I love it all!
Melissa says
FAB ME! I like our huge clock that we can see from 3 rooms, and I still run late…
Beth Gilbert says
FAB ME!!!! :)I have several Owls…I LOVE owls…that are colorful and I wouldnt part with any of them!
Anneliese says
FAB ME! I have a vintage light-up arrow in place of a traditional wall sconce in my living room. I love it, but am sure it’s not very “traditional” in terms of resale value. Good thing I plan to never, ever move!
Rebecca says
FAB ME!
My favourite weird things in my house are the red matryoshka dolls on the shelf above my toilet.
Megan @ Rappsody in Rooms says
FAB ME! Gosh, the weirdest thing in our house…my husband and me! Or that there are lots of cars and robots everywhere. It’t what makes our marriage work. Or this lamp with many heads…the list goes on!
Abbie says
FAB ME! Our red Eames molded plywood lounge chairs. My husband bought them many moons ago before we met. The red was very bold for me when we first moved in, but now all the other colors don’t stand a chance next to the happy red.
Ashley B. says
FAB ME!
Something sentimental…a small pillow in my living room, shaped like a mouse holding a strawberry. Very out-of-place and not my style, but I had it in my home growing up and have had it in every home I have ever owned.
Pascale says
FAB ME!
We have two colorful turkish lamps that we bought in Istanbul. I smile every time I look at them :)
J.Mill says
FAB ME!
(I love fab… btw)
We painted our bedroom navy blue. And we have this giant, impressive, irregularly striped rug from West Elm that really makes the room.
nicole says
FAB ME!
oh man, for me it’s a tie between my phrenology head on the bookshelf (weird, but not colorful), and funky orange kitchen clock (less weird, but way more colorful). both are loved and appreciated every day.
stephanie says
FAB ME! love my red blanket!
ann says
FAB ME! I have a great acid green and citron screenprint my mother made in the 70s. I love it.
Lisa R says
FAB ME!
I have the brooch bouquet I made to carry on our wedding day displayed on our mantel. It is navy and silver and I love the pop of color it lends against the darker brick. Plus it is unique, pretty to look at, and a wonderful reminder of our day!
Sarah says
FAB ME!
I love my danish modern chairs, covered in bright orange vinyl. They’re terribly uncomforable and desperately need to be refurnished, but I love them so much!
Tricia W. says
FAB ME! I have a ceramic owl that I spray painted aqua, which I love! I was inspired by a friend’s which she had painted white, and when I went back to compare I realized we had the exact same owl!
Kelly P says
FAB ME!
Well, hubs doesn’t do bright colors, so we’re pretty black, white and leather around our house, but I do have a strange collection of stuffed monkeys (starting with my lifelong love, Goliath). It seems once people know you have a monkey stuffed animal they tend to gift you with A LOT more.
Kelly says
FAB ME! My happy yellow vintage pyrex bowls placed around the bedroom for jewelry and make-up.
Amanda Salber says
FAB ME!! I have a big red signage S in my two story entry – I love it. It adds a bit of playfulness:)
Allison says
FAB ME! My bed spread’s bright, fun pattern!
Devon says
Fab me!
I have large bright red “poppy” wall decals going down my hallway upstairs. They are so fun and happy!
liz says
FAB ME!
While I don’t think it is quirky, I still have my teddy bear from when I was little – thoroughly worn and clearly well loved. It’s being displayed proudly on one of our guest beds. I can’t seem to part with it.
Hilary @ My So-Called Home says
Fab me. The oversized vintage framed matador in our entryway usually elicits a few remarks from newcomers :)
Allie says
FAB ME! I have a 5 foot square painting by my Grandmother’s cousin that is colorful, sentimental and spectacular. It hangs in our bedroom and livens up an otherwise calm space.
Jenny says
fab me!!!
It’s kinda a fixture, but I love our steam shower and Jacuzzi tub!
lesismore says
fab me!
the most colorful thing in my house is my language. i’m trying to cut back though.
i have an orange plant pot with a real plant in it that i’ve kept alive for almost 3 years. i’m pretty proud of myself for not killing it. everything else in my house is pretty grey. i’m a little obsessed with grey.
Kirsten says
FAB ME!
I have a chair that has a quirky geometric pattern. It has neutral taupe and brown with a pop of teal. It was scary to get a major piece of furniture in color/pattern but I haven’t had a moment of regret (and that was 5 years ago).
afton says
FAB ME!
i have a brass horse sculpture with its front legs in the air that i love! (it’s currently sitting on top of a stack of books, including my young house love book!)
Melissa says
FAB ME! :)
Tracey says
FAB ME, please! I just bought new zebra print Queen Anne chairs for our dining room and we have clay imprints of our dogs paws hanging on the stair wall! :-)
Coby says
FAB ME! My whole home is pretty quirky, but my favorite item is the portrait of Frankenstein hanging in my living room.
Jennifer says
FAB ME!
The weirdest thing in our house is a scorpion paperweight (with an actual scorpion embedded in glass) that I inherited from my grandfather – it is really creepy, but it reminds me so much of my wonderful grandfather that I treasure it!
Lisa Box says
FAB ME!
We had this awesome avocado green 70s retro armchair…got rid of it when I was pregnant, since I hard a hard time getting up out of it. :)
Jennifer O says
FAB ME!
I have a bunch of Tigger stuff from when I once collected him.
Heather says
FAB ME! I have an amazing butter dish in the shape of a blue whale, it was a wedding gift from my two best friends who clearly know me very well because it is one of my favorite items.
Jamila says
FAB ME!
Yay, this is a FABulous give-away :) I love the bold blue/ombre stripes that I just painted in my bedroom. I picked a paint chip, ordered a quart in every size, and painted away! Looks great with the crisp white trim, white dresser, and tan/white bedding :)
Carolyn says
FAB ME! I have this fuzzy owl decoration that is a mix between quirky, odd, and scary! Love it!
Selma says
FAB ME!
Emily Callejo says
FAB ME! I have a very cool original painting done by my dad. I moved out of state about four years ago, and that inspired my dad to combine my home state (Pennsylvania) and my new state (Michigan) on canvas. I am the proud owner of Pennchigan. It’s glorious.
Jen says
FAB ME!
Teal dining room chairs. We love them.
