***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)

I don’t have much quirky stuff, but I do currently have a fun birthday banner hanging in my living room! Who’s birthday you ask? My daughter’s baby doll! We totally just celebrated my 4 year old’s baby doll’s birthday when she proclaimed it was indeed her baby’s birthday! Singing, decorating, getting dressed up, oh the fun!!

I have a small shark on my kitchen counter. Not like a stuffed fish kind of shark, though. It’s floating in formaldehyde in a glass jar. I would call it a prized possession. Funny thing is, everyone who comes over thinks its my husband’s, & he usually responds with a chuckle, “I’m not that weird, it’s my wife’s.” :)

FAB ME! I have a collection of little drawings hanging in my daughter’s room. It includes the TARDIS, an elephant, a tree with peacocks, a boat, a watercolor of the Eiffel tower, and a tribal design. Most of them are colorful…a few are just black pen on white paper.

Fab me!
My favorite weird item is a big blue ceramic swordfish on our bookshelf. It doesn’t match anything and I only bought it because my husband said no, haha. But I love it.
Carlee W says
FAB ME please!
Beth R says
Fab me!
I love all the hooks we have in our house. They’re nothing special in and of themselves, but I’m addicted to them. We have a few in the bathroom to keep pajamas and re-wearable jeans off other surfaces, they’re on the back of most doors, inside the coat closet door for purses (including a low one where our 3 year old can hang his own coat), and holding reusable lunch bags inside the pantry.

FAB ME!! My favorite piece of art came from this collection: http://www.macys.com/campaign/social?campaign_id=134&channel_id=1&bundle_entryPath=/haiti_landing&cm_mmc=VanityUrl-_-haiti-_-n-_-n

FAB ME!!
I am pretty boring with color… I think this gift card could fix that though :)
Tiffany says
FAB ME!!!
Love your website and your obsession with ceramic animals. Little belle has started having parades with them around the house! But I’d have to say my growing collection of Moroccan inspired photo frames. Something about them scream fun and mystery all in one for my decor!
Cyndi says
FAB ME!
Right now, I really dig this strage picture of a momma bear and her cubs my fiance got at a local thrift shop. He cut out birthday hats and put them on each bear for my birthday! So strange and awesome.

Kaylyn says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest thing in my house is a hand-me-down pillow from my sister with a creepy bird on it. It would be a totally normal bird if he didn’t have a huge eyebrow!

FAB ME!!! I LOVE my Arrested Development print from Etsy. “There’s always money in the banana stand.”
Kristin says
FAB ME!!!! Brass Animals. I have them all over the house and I just can’t resist them whenever I see them at a thrift store. Now if I could just find a brass moose!

FAB ME!
I made a grid of 4×4 instagram prints that covers a good portion of my bedroom walls. It’s such a fun display and it always brings back fond memories(-:
Katy says
FAB ME!
I love my dining room curtains. They’re a large floral with red, orange, pink, green, and blue. They sound crazy, but it’s actually just enough pop of color to keep the dpace light and fun.
Izzy says
FAB ME! I am weirdly obsessed with the Americana-style gold decorative eagle that hangs above my bay window. The cheapo wood panelling will be GONE when I’m done with that room… but the eagle stays.
Karen F says
