***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…

FAB ME, please!
I have an extensive collection of vintage Fisher Price toys so you are likely to find bright, fun pieces all over the house. Just the way I like it!
Rachel says
FAB ME!! My favorite quirky item is a grouping of funky “art” that I made from a gift bag.
Nicole McPhate says
FAB ME!!!
Definitely my bold striped wall I recent painted with glossy & matte stripes!!!!
:)
kristen says
FAB ME! The quirkiest thing in our house is probably the toilet paper roll art I made. You can’t tell it’s toilet paper rolls, I promie – but it looks funky! Although, I could definitely use this gift card to add some big quirk to our place!
CohoesMom5 says
FAB ME! I have an Animaniacs picture frame in our living room. My husband and I used to watch Animaniacs when we were in college and it reminds me of then.
Erin says
FAB ME!! I love my vintage travel poster of Denver from Fab!
Kris T says
FAB ME!
My boldest piece in my house is a light green leather chair in my sons room. I wanted something a little different in that room besides everyday beige and I love it!
Lisa M says
Fab me! I can’t really think of anything quirky in my house, which makes me sad! I do have a white ceramic cow that I love and several flower-shaped votives, none of which are very quirky. Now I will be on a mission to find something I love!
Jamie S. says
FAB ME!
I have an awesome, robins egg blue, rug with a pattern that resembles the trees from The Lorax. It’s basically my favorite thing ever.
michelle rosecrans says
FAB ME! I have a collection of souvenir state plates and I love it.
Nikki says
Fab Me!! I own a collection of mini antique paintings! I’m always on the hunt for more at flea markets and thrift stores.
Marie-Pier says
FAB ME!
I have two little colorful plates I brought back from our trip to French Riviera last summer. I just hanged them on the wall of our entryway yesterday, it looks great!
Chelsi Krause says
FAB ME!
My husband loves busts. He’s not picky,though presidents do outnumber most in the collection! Our mantel is covered in them!
Angela says
FAB ME! My favorite colorful item is my yellow wooden ladder that I use to hold blankets!
emily says
Fab me!
…just about anything I spray paint. Teal dresser, lime end table, robin’s egg table legs, orange wall hooks. My house doesn’t actually look like a circus tent, really :)
Wendi says
FAB ME! We have tons of banana leaf art from Ethiopia framed throughout our home. A fun and funky way to tie in our son’s birth country to our home decor.
emmy A says
FAB ME!
Quirky is my middle name! One of my favorite quirky pieces is an armchair that’s upholstered in an awesome floral print with birds. Sounds horrible, but it’s AWESOME! It was $20 at a thrift store and I snatched it right up (after inspecting it–and smelling it–upholstery from a thrift store can be iffy, you know).
Kayla says
FAB ME!
I have a white painted wooden pig named Berta that I just adore.
Ali says
FAB ME! I have lots of owls in my house – ceramic figures, cookie jar, and brass ones. They’re so darn cute!
Sara M. says
Fab me! I have a bright orange mid-century modern wool chair that totally brightens up the living room.
Christine says
FAB ME!!!
I have a collection of purple hippos (affectionately called “the Purplepottamuses” all throughout my house. Why? I love purple and I love hippos, so why not have purplepottamuses? Thank you!
Stefani says
FAB ME! I have a teal and cream chevron rug that I LOVE!! :) Thank you!
Nikki says
FAB ME!
I have a tiger mask that I watched the artist paint! I spent a summer in Costa Rica and it will always remind me of my adventerous spirit.
Natalie says
FAB ME!
Weird and quirky and colorful, hmm. Well, my husband and I have a large collection of raw geodes sitting up on a shelf in our entryway, which could be considered quirky AND colorful. We also have a bunch of goofy art prints, like one of George Washington wearing a Mickey Mouse Club hat. :)
Jen B. says
FAB ME!
We don’t have many crazy prints in our house, but my husband and I painted a geometric pattern on a group of canvases to fill up our 14′ walls! It’s personal *and* functional.
Carrie says
FAB ME! I totally bought that fun Seattle poster from Fab.com that you guys showcased a few months back. It’s glorious, and resides in our master bath.
Heather says
FAB ME! I have a beautiful statue of a mother and her breastfeeding baby that some may think is rather strange, but I love it after nursing for over two years.
Carine says
Fab me !
I have over 10 lovely animals (ceramic of course, wood, resin and stone) all over my appartment, they all have quirky names (Clover, Edward´s silver wings, Riri-anna, Porchetta, sparky, Maurice and many others…)
Melissa R. says
FAB ME!
I love my orange curtains in the living room. It’s always cheerful in there.
Brandi says
FAB ME…
I have a little buzzard figurine/decoration that I got at Michael’s. It has real feathers and sort of a paper mache body. Sounds cooler than it looks – check it out here. http://buzzardsbeat.blogspot.com/2012/10/decorating-blog-with-diversity.html
But I love it because Buzzard is my last name. I use it to decorate year round, not just at Halloween!
LoquaciousLaura says
FAB ME!
For Christmas, my wife got me a Kit-Cat Klock — classic midcentury funkiness — and not only does it have the moving eyes and tail, it’s ORANGE! It’s right inside the back door (the main one we use), so we can check the time as we get out the door!
Christine says
Fab me!
Heather charnock says
FAB ME! We don’t have many quirky items in our home, which is why we need to win this giveaway!!
Natalie says
FAB me! I have 4 damask prints with silhouettes of birds wearing crowns. Everyone thinks they are strange but I just love them!!
alicia says
fab me….. i have lots of paintings that i have done in my home. not really weird, just unique. :)
Gillian @ GrowingUpGillian says
Fab Me! Our quirkiest house feature is by far our retro wallpaper from the 50’s (we think) – sparkly gold atomic shapes on a creamy white background.
christina says
FAB ME!
Haley says
FAB ME!!
I have an awesome owl pillow that my mom got me for my birthday. It is so colorful and happy; it makes me smile every time I see it.
Meghan says
FAB ME!! I have some shadow boxes that I put some amazing bright peacock feather fabric on the back of them that I LOVE!! They pop against my light walls!
Carrie says
FAB ME!
My giant pig sculpture :)
suzy says
FAB ME! (Pretty please?)
I’m obsessed with displaying my favorite song lyrics as art! I painted a huge over-sized canvas with the lyrics to my and the Mr’s first dance song that’s a bold statement piece above our bed, and my daughter’s room is chuck full of scribbles here and there of “my girl” and “wake up little susie” (which, funnily enough, my own mother had cross-stitched in my first baby blanket when I was little.)
Amy Bounds says
Fab Me.
Diana says
FAB ME! I love the funky paint treatment we did on my daughter’s Craigslist-find desk — it’s lime green to turquoise ombre (with zebra accents)!
Michelle says
FAB ME!
A collection of needle felt stuffed animals, with too big for them heads on tiny bodies. They always make me smile. And my 30th birthday gift from my sister, a book titled “All my friends are dead” :D
Stacey says
FAB ME!
i have all of my colorful fiesta ware displayed on the built-in along the back wall of our kitchen.
Aimee says
FAB ME!
Sadly, everything in our house is super neutral! If I win, I’ll definitely make sure to get something loud & wonderful (and maybe even ceramic!)
Carolyn says
FAB ME!
I have a brass deer that I spray painted white. It’s a bit unusual, but my Dad jokingly put it in my car when I went to pick it up after repair from being hit by a deer and I kinda fell in love with it and it’s a great way to look at the positive of being hit by a deer more so than the negative.
Claudia says
FAB ME!
I painted some of my boys’ old animal figures and now they are decorations on their shelves ;D
Shelley @ Green Eggs and Hamlet says
FAB ME!
I have a sort of periwinkle-colored desk that was my mom’s as a child, then my dad’s while he went to law school so it’s both sentimental and bright.
Katee says
FAB ME! I need more color in my house but I do have me a red couch that I love.
