***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…

Leslie says
FAB ME!!! Growing up, we had a large (2′ x 1′) papier mache frog my father had bought in Mexico. It was a little strange but always near and dear to us.
Nichole says
FAB ME!
I now have a phrenology head on my mantle that I have been wanting for years and finally asked for this past Christmas.
tammy says
FAB ME!
I have a wooden wine box with dividers that I salvaged from a store, mod podged fabric scraps all over it, and use it as decorative shelves. Which really means, my kids line up their toys on it. It’s very weird and very well loved.
Ashley House says
FAB ME!!!!! My husband and I are building a new home and have been keeping an eye out for all kinds of quirky and unique rustic/shabby chic pieces. We’ve had some luck so far and can’t wait to find the perfect place in our new house.

FAB ME! I have an obsession with Boston Terriers, so I found this SUPER cute back of the door hook at TJMaxx that is a Boston Terrier Head. Love it. Adore it.

Fab me! We have a bright orange mid-century chair in our living room. Love it!
Teresa Olander says
FAB ME! I have lots of quirky stuff but my lavatory wallpaper is the wierdest. It’s a pattern of watering cans and then I have reall chipped old watering cans here and there. It’s kinda out-of-control but I like the watering can-bathroom theme and

My stencilled entryway is the most Fab thing in my house!
Erica says
FAB ME!
My husband and I collect covers of old sports programs from some of our local colleges and universities – we then frame them up and hang in unusual patterns all over the house. You never know where you might find one!
Jen says
FAB ME!!
I don’t have a lot of pieces in my home that I love (ugh, trying to work on that!)
but the one quirky that I do like a lot is a piece I bought off Craigslist for a steal. It’s an Antique console table painted (refurbished) in Tiffany blue. I love how it brightens up our dreary entry area. :)
Thanks for the chance to win!

FAB ME!
Liz says
Fab me! My favorite quirky thing in our home is a vintage king lamp that’s wood carved and about 5 feet tall. My great aunt bought him from a funky store in Chicago, he moved all around the country with her, and now he lives with us – back in Chicago!
Ginger M. says
FAB ME!
The quirkiest bold color item in my house is a photograph of an owl that my dad took. The owl is grey except for it’s piercing yellow eyes. You feel mesmerizer just looking at it.
Tiffany says
FAB ME!
I just finished a large magnetic chalkboard for our message center. It’s framed in obnoxious Tiffany blue according to the Mr. but I love it! I have tried to tell him the color is Surfer but…
Shannon says

Rae says
FAB ME!
My pink oven. When we moved into our house the kitchen had orange/purple carpet and pink walls with a matching pink stove. I was determined it would go, but after some paint and discovering the oven cooks the best of any I have ever used I embraced the 50’s and now love my quirky pink oven…probably because the color is in moderation instead of in your face.
Olivia says
FAB ME!
The quirky thing in our home is the West Elm garbage cans that my husband turned into a light fixture in our foyer (and there’s a matching one hanging over our kitchen sink!).
Nobody would ever guess they were meant to be garbage cans!
Dani says
Fab me! I love the items I’ve purchased at estate sales over the years.
Jennifer says
FAB ME!
My fiance and I have inadvertently started a collection of animal items… we have a ceramic fox, a ceramic bird, a fox candle holder, a squirrel salt and pepper shaker, and a bird-topped sugar bowl.
Cheryl says
FAB ME!
I have a fun little stuffed owl (not a real one!) named Henry sitting on my mantel… I say “good morning Henry!” when I come downstairs in the morning! He’s a cutie!
Missy says
Fab Me! My husband and I have this sort of ridiculous huge, brass antique letter “F” that I found right after we got married (and picked up the last initial of F)at a flea market. We still keep on our fireplace after 5 years.
Sunne says
FAB ME! I inherited my mom’s brass storage chest, which holds all of my childhood christmas ornaments. I’ve had it for years and I never cared if it “went” with anything else b/c it was special to me. It’s funny to me now to see that vintage brass chests are trending but I’ll be keeping mine long after that changes.
Stephanie R. says
FAB ME!
We have this really weird painting of a dalmatian hanging in our living room. There’s a piano and all this other fancy stuff in the background. Guess that’s a little quirky.
Elisa @ What the Vita says
FAB ME! We love our retro 70s(?) sofa in our guest room that we grabbed from Salvation Army. Hmm I guess we need to buy more funky things :)
Noreen says
FAB ME!
I have a print of Pride & Prejudice that shows a silhouette of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy holding hands. The silhouette is created using the text of the book. The print still needs to be framed and hung on the wall…but I love it! :)
Cassie says
Fab me! I have a crazy couch pillow that I made myself in high school…my mom found it in her attic, wrapped it and put it under the Christmas tree this year :) Certainly made everyone laugh….
