***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…

Lauren says
Fab me!! Colorful and quirky are all over my house but my most favorite piece is my chartreuse recliner in the living room. It’s retro and so perfect.
Bethany says
FAB ME!
Our house is painted in all neutral colors except for our “Golden Gate Bridge Orange” guest bath… it reminds me of our 4+ years spent living in the Bay Area before moving back East! (And ironically I didn’t intentionally pick the color to match the GGB… my dad pointed it out 2 months later when he gifted us with some of his photos of the bridge because they matched the wall color perfectly!)
Bridget says
FAB ME! There’s a psychedelic rooster painting hanging in our living room. My husband bought it for $3 at Goodwill as a joke a few days after I had been eyeing (subdued, neutral, non-psychedelic) rooster art at JoAnn’s. It doesn’t fit our house at all, but it’s been on the living room wall for more than a year now :)
Laura says
FAB ME! The only unusual things that I have is the animal kites hanging in my kids rooms.
Rebekah says
Fab Me!
Some beautiful tin art from Haiti!
Christi says
Fab Me!
I have a gold mirror with an eagle on it and I love it… It was on sale at Ross 12 years ago and still works for me!
Jen says
FAB ME!
We have a collection of brightly colored molas from Panama (I’ll let you google image search that!)… Add in the orange and yellow mats in their frames, they are pretty eye-catching!
Amber says
Fab Me!
I love my funky ceramic owl.
Harriet May says
FAB ME!!
I have a mug that says “My Dog is My Best Friend” that I keep all my sunglasses in. It was a gift from my friend… who knows me (and my rotten Aussie) much too well!
Ari says
FAB me! I love my grandfather’s sculptures.
Callye says
FAB ME!
My favorite bold/quirky item in my apartment is this massive canvas that I painted a fuchsia deer head (and antlers) onto. It definitely catches people’s attention when they walk in!
Brittney S says
FAB ME!
I love the Seinfeld Kramer painting we have hanging in our office.
Carlee says
FAB ME!
I have a wooden squirrel on my kitchen window sill and it makes me smile everyday!
Clementine says
FAB ME!
I love my gumball machine terrarium and chartreuse silk curtains.
Amy G says
FAB ME!
Right now, we have a fun teal felted garland on our fireplace mantel that makes me smile every time I walk into the room. So simple but so fun!
Katie says
FAB ME!
I would say that a small garden gnome in a potted plant in the bathroom is my something weird and quirky…he (the gnome) surprised my Husband one day as he (the gnome, again) was looking through some of the leaves that hid him from direct sight!
Julie L says
FAB ME!
Bold red curtains in our family room!
Rebecca says
Fab me!
I love my etsy art prints…I find an artist I love and buy several prints so I have the same style but not necessarily a theme.
Jill says
FAB ME! The quirkiest thing in my home is a wooden chair from a thrift store that I spray painted bright yellow! It’s so cheery! :)
Katie C says
FAB ME! Our gold colored couch always turns a few heads!
kara says
FAB ME!
I have a photo collage made out of tobacco sticks in my front hallway. I grew up on a farm & this is definitely a conversation piece. It’s perfect for my “style!”
Madeline says
FAB ME!
When I saw the painting Sherry made for the pinterest challenge, I loved it so much that I painted my own. It is now hanging on my wall and I love the pop of color.
Maggie says
FAB ME!! We have a huge American flag that flew at the Capitol Building that hangs on our wall. Americana!
Katy B. says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest thing in my living room is probably my display of owl candles in our TV console. We have a thing about owls…in groups of three…
Jennifer says
FAB ME! I love my colorful throw pillows on my dark grey couch.
Erin Weber says
FAB ME!
I used to have a zebra table, about 2 feet tall side table in the shape of a zebra.
annie says
FAB ME!
i have a couple of antique radios – one is very tiny and the other more like a cabinet. i love em!
McCaulie says
FAB ME!!
I have a crazy quilt from the 70’s hanging as decor in our extra bedroom…I love it!
Shari says
FAB ME!! I have a print in my kitchen that says Lettuce Turnip the Beet. Get it? :)
Laura Broder says
FAB ME!
Rachel L. says
Fab Me!!! The curtains in our bedroom are a huge, abstract floral print with grey, yellow, and deep purple. Pair those with our awesome deep purple lamp shade and you have a purple party!
Terra says
Fab me! I got brightly colored portraits painted of my two pooches
JoLyn says
FAB ME:
I don’t really have anything quirky, that’s why I need to win this! I would choose something fun and crazy.
Stephanie says
FAB ME!
I love our daughter’s bright coral painted nursery. It’s so warm and inviting.
Natalie says
Fab me! Two framed dragon tapestries from S. America in my living room.
Ashley says
FAB ME!!
My favorite “quirky” thing is a vintage concrete squirrel in our living room. He tends to move around a bit, and somethings he scares people when they only see him out of the corner of their eye (he does look frightfully real…). We should really get him a name now that I think of it!
Melanee says
FaB Me! I have an amazing large painting of an odd looking old lady dancing with an equally odd looking older gentleman. A very talented friend of mine painted it for me and I cherish it deeply. It makes me smile.
Matt says
FAB ME. I love my Lebowskifest poster.
valerie says
FAB ME!! We live in a loft, so to most our whole place is quirky!
Tara says
FAB ME! My quirk is of the color variety. I painted the foyer of our tri-level a fiery deep cayenne orange-red (tibetan orange). This area presented many design challenges: a small footprint, two exterior doors on adjacent walls, a closet with bifold doors, vaulted ceilings, and open and viewable from several other rooms in all levels of the house… We ripped out the ugly bifolds, and added an old church pew (thrifted) as a bench with storage baskets underneath. Coupled with minimal furniture, the color makes a statement and looks great with big greige tiles and white trim.
Amanda says
Fab me! For my wedding my Grandfather gave us a rock that’s carved into an owl shape. It sits on our front steps to welcome all.
Sarah says
Fab me! We were gifted a giant pink ceramic elephant bank for my daughter. You could say that’s definitely the “elephant in the room” when it comes to quirk or color.
Bethany says
FAB ME! I need some quirky cool things in my apartment, so it’d be awesome to win this!!
Erin says
FAB ME!
I haven’t decorated much, so there isn’t anything that weird or quirky. I do have two ceramic statues on an endtable. One is a thank you I got from a place I volunteered a lot and the other is a statue from my Grandmother’s house that is based on my favorite piece of art in her house.
Erin B says
FAB ME!
I’m well on my way to a ceramic animal collection to rival yours! Picked up two cuties (a fox and a squirrel) over Christmas that were meant to be holiday decor, but I think shall be in permanent installation on the mantel!
Kate says
FAB ME!
The most colorful part of our home is our baby’s room. It’s painted “Dill Pickle” green (Benjamin Moore) and is just such a fun and cheerful room. I swear the color choice had nothing to do with my pregnancy cravings! :)
Allie P says
FAB ME! :D
We have some really fun colourful art that I gave my husband for his birthday. A graphic northern Ontario landscape.
Brooke says
FAB ME!!
My living room coffee table is a hand-me-down from my grandparents that I hope to keep in the family as long as it lasts–it’s an old drum (maybe from a marching band? I should probably get more info)…it’s red, and there’s a crest painted in the middle of the drum (which now in it’s new life, is the center of our table)…I love it for nostalgic reasons, and mostly everyone thinks its cool/quirky. My bf on the other hands hates it and plots it’s demise daily … oy ;)
Emily says
FAB ME! I have a funky pillow on my love seat (it’s multi-colored chevron) and I love it!
Julie D says
Fab Me!!
Bright Spanish style mirror from our honeymoon.
