***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!
We have mostly muted, earthy, moody colors in this house, but the kitchen cabinets are Tiffany Turquoise and SO fab! With vanilla walls and red accessories, it’s a fantastic retro kitchen.
Beth says
FAB ME! It’s not at home, but at work my ram bust gets lots of love. It’s our colleges mascot, of course!
Laura says
Fab me!
My favourite quirky thing is a DIY map art piece!
Jane says
FAB ME!
We have a bright pink glass backsplash in our kitchen which we love, & have other pops of the colour elsewhere in the kitchen (washing up bowls, the kettle a towel or 2). We love it.
I also love the home-made artwork in our daughter’s room – I painted some canvases taking inspiration from her bedcover.
Lara says
Fab me! I can’t help loving my upholstered headboard I made a couple years ago. It’s covered in an adorably kitschy lemon fabrix that makes me smile every time I see it.
Shelley says
FAB ME!
My favorite quirky object is a vintage-y looking green velvet swivel armchair and footstool in our living room – super comfy and a little weird!
Dana says
FAB ME! :)
Unexpected pops of turquoise throughout!
Amanda S. says
FAB ME!
We have a miniature Italian knight statue that sits in our entryway. It was a wedding present from my brother a few years ago, and he still guards our door!
Caitlin says
FAB ME!
We are crazy about plaid, so we have a plaid table runner that only leaves the table to go in the wash and then back again :)
Billie says
“FAB ME!”
My quirky items are plentiful – the first one that came to mind is a small brass pear shaped dish that sits in the center of my never used dining room table.
Stephanie Oh says
FAB ME!!
I’m in love with the hot pink, orange, and red candle holders on our living room mantle. They’re wedding centerpiece souvenirs – I love that they’re a splash of happy color and a reminder of our big day.
Emily says
FAB ME!
I thoroughly enjoy my brass pineapples… and the fact that I scored them for cheap at Goodwill makes me love them even more.
Eli S. says
FAB ME!! I have a habit of picking up colorful souvenirs on jet-setter vacations. Who wants a snow globe when you can buy a carved elephant instead?
Laurann says
FAB ME! I love the Thomas Paul panels and pillows in my living room. Hoping to add some funky teal zebra print to the mix :)
Cait says
FAB ME!
We have red couches, which certainly add color, even though I can’t wait to get rid of them! (Thankful for the hand-me downs as newlyweds)
Misti says
FAB ME!
I have a print, modern as hell, with clouds and geometic shapes and in a super hipster font it says: This To Shall Pass….which is a phrase my Great-Grandmother used to say to me nearly every day. I love the juxtaposition, the uber-modern that appeals to my aesthetic and the phrase that never fails to make me think of my Taun-Taun and smile…
Alise says
Fab Me. The quirkiest thing in our home is a piece of interactive art my husband and I purchased when we were first married nearly nine years ago. It is a little dog next to a fence and a little turtle on a fence post (when you turn a nob his head goes inside his shell). It was just so adorable, and we loved the idea that the turtle didn’t get up to new heights by himself — the animals worked together (fitting for us newlyweds at the time!). :-)
Jennie says
FAB ME!!! We have a collection of vintage yo-yos that’s pretty unique!
Anne Smyers says
Fab me! I love using weird things from nature like seed pods, rocks, etc. to decorate with!
Alycia says
FAB ME! I’m pretty fond of the Richard Nixon bowling poster (a la The Big Lebowski) that we have hanging up in our half bathroom. It’s quirky and fun and pretty much always gets comments from our visitors.
Stefanie says
FAB ME!
I have a collection of hippos… 2 hand-carved, mahogany wood (approx. a foot long) and 2 smaller soapstone hippos to commemorate my and my dad’s trips to Africa. They are all completely different shapes and styles and weights and sizes. It’s such a fun and funky little group of memories!
Dina says
FAB ME!
We have a lot of quirk and furniture made of found pieces. Factory machine legs support our dining table, a large flat basket provides a frame for a mirror, an antique beer tray is my version of a perfume display. Our kitchen is painted in horizontal stripes and there’s a surf board hanging over our bed, and all of our old license plates hanging next to my dressing table. Love it all!
laura says
FAB ME! I just bought a new house so no quirky items yet, but I’m starting to decorate my office / workout room so we’ll see
meg says
Fab me! It’s usally the little lego spaceships I find in random places throughout the house
Katie says
FAB ME! I have a print of a coonhound standing on a bicycle (maddieonthings.com) love it!
Cindy says
Fab me!
I have a colorful cookie jar from my grandma! Makes my kitchen
TammyLee says
“FAB ME!” We have a huge hand carved wood mask from the Phillipines. I inherited it from my grandmother who used to work at a little gift shop in Daytona Beach. It is big and scary!
Betsy says
FAB ME!
A Lego Star Wars tie-fighter in our living room…
Emily says
FAB ME!
I have this big bright green coffee table that I got from my favorite coffee shop when they were closing down. I always loved it in the coffee shop and was thrilled when they sold it to me for $40!
sarah f says
FAB ME

Cheryl P says
Fab me! I’m about to paint my hutch a unique yellow. Should be fun!!!!
Alexa says
FAB ME!
Under the colorful heading we have several large childhood paintings my husband made around the house. Colorful and fun.
jenn m says
FAB ME!
I love my red duvet cover!
Bethanne says
FAB ME! In my hallway, I have a set of fun, really colorful paintings painted by my very talented sister.
Stephanie M. says
FAB ME!
I have a recent obsession with spray painting things bright yellow. I blame Sherry. ;) So we have a tiny yellow chair, a yellow lamp and a soon to be yellow growth chart for our daughter.
Carrie says
FAB ME!
My pup Django is the quirkiest thing in my house! :) But in regards to decor either my dark olive living room ceiling or my excessive amount of vintage ceramic animals!
Stacey says
Fab me!
Julie says
Fab Me !
Bek Christie says
My hubs and I just purchased a home! It is quite empty and needs some tender love and care… so please, FAB ME! My home would appreciate it :)
Hannahhenning says
FAB ME . . .There is a cardboard “cave” presently in my living room that is covered inside and out with my little caveman’s drawings. I just love looking at them and I wish that I could keep that box forever.
Beth M. says
FAB ME!
I have a coin bank collection — pigs, mechanical banks, cats, art sculptures, you name it. They’re sprinkled all throughout the house.
Megan says
FAB ME!
One of my favorite pieces is a planter’s clock that my dad gave to my grandparents in the 70’s. It not only tells the time but also has a dial that tells you the best time to plant certain veggies. When my grandparents downsized their home they gave it back to my dad, who in return gave it to me because of my love of gardening. I live in a different state now, and it reminds me of my family on a daily basis!
Beryl says
FAB ME!
I’m not sure if it’s quirky, but I have a tree trunk vase and a gurglepot vase that i spray painted bright sunny yellow.
Belen says
FAB ME!
I try to keep an elegant vibe but we have some comic book statues in the middle of all that!
jenn aka the picky girl says
FAB ME! I have all sorts of weird and wonderful things in my house, but the thing most people comment on is the amount of books. I’m ok with that. :
Melissa says
FAB ME! I guess the quirkiest thing we have is a giant map of the world up in our loft area. It’s very big- probably like 5’x7′. It covers half a wall!
cici says
PLEASE FAB ME!!!
Today it’s either the framed metal pic of a yellow dog in the grandkids’ room, or the new curly-armed octopus holding my keys on the wall by the back door.
Jen says
FAB ME!!!!!!!
I painted our dining room wall with 1′ different-colored squares. It doesn’t really fit any more since we renovated our kitchen (it’s now all open kitchen/dining), but I can’t bring myself to paint over it.
Justine says
FAB ME!
I have an owl I painted that is the single bright piece of art in my house. The rest of my framed pieces are photographs, and people always tell me it looks a liiittle psychedelic. I’m still not sure if that’s a good thing. Ha!
Ashley Bland says
Fab me! I have a huge black and white print on canvas of Elvis meeting Nixon in the oval office. It is definitely a conversation piece!
