***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…

I was at your book signing on Saturday at Rejuvenation. A first for me! Entering an online drawing, also a first!
That would be FABulous!
Allison says
FAB ME! I have an awesome orange watercolour of a fox that is fabulous!!
Becky says
Oooooh Fab Me Please!
I may have a bobcat head in my sewing room… my Dad bought it at an estate sale YEARS ago and passed it on to me. It’s quirky and weird. I love it.
Hilary says

My favorite quirky thing is our coral drapes in the living room.

FAB ME!
I have about 20 Kokeshi Dolls and 1 daruma doll (Wooden Japanese dolls) from Japan. They’re beautiful and unique and I’m noticing they’re making an appearance in more contemporary things. I love them, and they remind me of my love-Japan.
Emily says
FAB ME!!
I love Fab. I have a piece of art I bought off there that is a stylized view of the Puget Sound (area I live). I even have an order of fun stuff on it’s way to me right now!
Fab-a-holic and loving it! :)
Katie says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky thing in my house is my star burst mirror made out of shims and a convex auto mirror! shiny and natural – SO ME!
Justine W says
FAB ME!
My husband and I are both ecologists, and we have so many prints on our walls showing our obsessions – his birds, mine plants. My current favorite artist is Charley Harper, who often created images based on nature (especially birds) that are geometric and colorful. They also make for fun and hilarious conversation pieces when our non-nerdy family and friends visit. :)
Valentine says
Fab me! Our old wooden house window frame turned entry mirror b
Sarah says
FAB Me!
We have an old fireplace cover my hubby found in an alley! It hangs on our wall
Cassie says
FAB ME!
I am obsessed with my obnoxious blue Keurig. It doesn’t match my kitchen at all but I LOVE it!
Jill says
FAB ME!
This giveaway sounds FAB! I need to win because nothing comes to mind to answer the question!
Mary says
FAB ME!
I have a very colorful Chicago neighborhoods map hanging in my living room which actually inspired me to paint an accent wall in my kitchen a hue from the print.
Jamie says
“FAB ME” I have a funky bird cage (with no bird) that is on a 70s-looking stand. I repaint it, swap out candles, flowers, random knick knacks in the cage and move it around the house every few months. It is current BRIGHT yellow but is going to be repainted grey when the weather warms up. My husband just looks at it and shakes his head :-)
Melissa Letkeman says
FAB ME!
I have two striped walls in our house. One in the bathroom and one in the dining room. I don’t know if that is weird, but maybe a little different. I absolutely love striped walls!
Shannon B says
FAB ME!!
Aqua. High-gloss. China. Cabinet.
‘Nuff said.
Liz says
FAB ME!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Cheryl says
FAB ME!
I think my quirkiest piece in my house is my life-size bust of JFK. He frequently gets spray painted different colors, and has recently transitioned from bubble gum pink to a sunny yellow. Nothing gives a room personality like a little JFK.
Tammy says
Fab me!
Christy says
FAB ME!
My favorite room in our house is my small walk-in closet I just finished DIYing. Light blue ceiling, white and dark blue walls with shamrock green shelving on one side, purple shelving on the other and a random assortment of funky hooks.
Stephy says
FaB mE!
I’m in labor!! YHL is my savior between the contractions ;)
Shanoah says
FAB ME!
We have a giant nut (like the fastener – because my husband works at an industrial supply company) and a deactivated grenade (also my husband’s) on our bookshelves. Also some rusted nails from a shipwreck that my husband dove and may or may not have taken illegally. None of these are crazy, but they all have fun stories attached to them.
Jessica says
FAB ME!
One of the quirky features in our home is a collection of artwork that we’ve hung on the wall when you enter the house. All of the pictures feature dogs, with my favorite one being the black pug eating vanilla ice cream. We even have a little shelf with the words “live laugh bark” and two figurines of our own dogs(a pomeranian and a french mastiff) dressed as bride and groom that we had created for our wedding to be cake toppers on the groom’s cake.
What can I say – I love dogs :)
Richelle says
Fab Me, please!
My favorite oddity isn’t terribly colorful since my favorite colors are black and gray (no, really). It’s a white cotton-paper silhouette of my beagle on a gray bookcloth ground, framed by this huge, ornate oval frame. Every time I see “Spike” in frou frou script at the bottom, it makes me smile.
Kimberly says
Fab me! Weird and quirky in my home? A big glass orb table lamp I spray painted and an antique elephant balancing a beach ball toy might be the strangest.
Callie says
Fab me! We have some quirky African accents…impala antlers that I painted white, and coffee tables made by my husband’s grandpa in the Congo back in the day. And some rather large unidentified animal horns that I haven’t figured out where to put yet, haha!
Elizabeth says
FAB ME! I love my elephant art. It is painted by an elephant and sold to aid in the conservation of elephants and their habitat. It even comes with a bio on the elephant that painted it (each elephant has their own style). I feel about elephants like Sherry does about ceramic animals, so I just love that is real art and painted by elephant.

Pick me and I’ll send you a pic! :)
Christy W says
FAB ME!! My favorite thing in our house (so far) is our pin-up style print of Wonder Woman in our office. So fun!
Kelly says
FAB ME!
I love my quirky purple ceramic elephant that greets me in the entranceway everyday.

Kelly says
FAB ME! We have a graphic family tree I designed, and a lamp that was my husband’s grandfather’s that weighs like 3500lbs, but my mission this year is to add more quirky things…
julianne says
FAB ME! I have a gold pig statue on my mantle that I absolutely adore! It looks great next to my framed photo of Rhett and Scarlett from Gone With The Wind my mom got me as a joke gift a few years back… the joke’s on you mom, I love it!!!
Rebecca Z. says
“FAB ME!” – I have bright yellow curtains in my kitchen that I adore. One day, I’ll paint the cabinets/cupboards white so that yellow will be like a bright, sunny day!
jessica says
FAB ME!
My Charley Harper prints, a 3-foot tall green Buddha statue, and a growing collection of elephants and owls…
Lori Lou says
Fab Me!
Definitely the garage- the walls are filled with Christmas murals- fireplace with stockings, christmas trees, snow, red rider bb gun scene…a regular old winter wonderland. (We have a Christmas tree farm that we operate out of it though, which makes it slightly less quirky).
Abby says
FAB ME!
I have a ceramic blue hippo in my living room that is always a conversation starter. It’s unusual and cute!!
Caitlin B says
FAB ME! When it comes to quirky details, there may be too many to mention in our house :) My newest favorite, is a vintage bird diorama (complete with cork frame) that my husband found in a local houswares shop.
Madeleine says
Fab me! I love the giant, sprawling, vibrantly green, live plant in our living room.
Lisa C Johnson says
FAB ME! We are stilling settling into the concept that we finally own our own home and can decorate it any way we want. Though I have just recently gotten an itch to get started. I just found FAB last week and purchased a piece of wall art for my bedroom! I would love some more funds to help decorate my home. Thanks for the chance to win!
Allison says
FAB ME! quirky maps of places i’ve lived!
Kirbee says
Fab me!
Our current house hasn’t yet been quirkified, but in the living room in our first house we had the most lovely thick, shirred burlap curtains. I loved them, but we just don’t have any windows where they work in our current home :(
Jessica says
Fab Me!
I love my cupcake sponge holder I have in my kitchen.
Dharini says
Our living room, we painted it a bright orange! We added African animal figurines, and a large houseplant – we love how the green plays against the orange hue. We also framed black and white personal photos, and they pop beautifully against our lovely wall.
Lexi says
FAB ME!
I found a vintage blanket from Mexico at an estate sale a few years ago and am completely in love with it! The colors are so vibrant and it gives a much needed pop to my mostly grey and white color scheme!
