***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!
I have a painting that everyone thinks is ugly, but it makes me so happy to look at it! It’s just a bowl of fruit, but there’s something about the way the colors work together, I just love it!!
Katie @ Chai Thoughts says
FAB ME!
We have a piece of driftwood on our mantel. Does that count as quirky?
Shilpa says
Fab Me love you Fab!
Liz says
FAB ME!
My husband painted a big gorgeous watercolor we keep in our office. Makes me happy every time I look at it!
Alina says
FAB ME! I really love our bright, tapestry rug — adds a lot of color and personality to our entryway.
Nikki says
Fab me!
We have a few odd things around the house…a bust of Michaelangelo, a blue rooster, and some art work collected from estate sales. But we love every piece!
Kathy Riojas says
FAB ME!
Is it weird that I don’t have any think quirky in our home? I wish I did but I get so scared to “go outside the box” … I did recently paint a “You are loved always” sign for our baby’s nursery.
Amanda says
FAB ME! I can’t say that I have anything quirky in our house yet, but I can’t wait to start collecting!
Jaime says
FAB ME!!!
I have 2 hot pink chairs from Cost Plus World Market (The Nina Chair). They just scream FAB!
Bonnie says
Fab me! We have a giant ceramic moose head that hangs in our living room. He is hanging inside a vintage frame and backed with old-school fabric – a throwback to my husbands childhood in Idaho where his home featured “real” animal heads! Love your site!!
Allison says
FAB ME!
I have two bright throw pillows on my dull brown couch that brighten things up.
Shilpa says
Fab Me love you Fab!Love the kiddo stuff
suzanne says
FAB ME! I have a funky bright granny square afghan that my mom made me. The only splash of major color in my white on white living room.
Ashley S. says
Fab me!
I love to paint and draw, so we have lots of quirky artwork of mine!
Beth says
FAB ME! Probably the quirkiest thing I have is framed pictures of my kids making funny faces. And I am new to the ceramic animal craze. I have a big white owl and also the white deer head from Target last fall.
Nancy says
FAB ME! My favorite thing is an oil painting my aunt did many years ago of her grandfather’s home (my great-grandfather).
Savannah says
FAB ME!
Almost everything in our home is quirky… But most of it is movie/music/video game based.. All the art, knick-knacks, etc are somehow related to some form of entertainment that we grew up with or currently love.
Sarah says
FAB ME!
I love my daughter’s wicker chair that we painted bright yellow. Even our cat likes to curl up on it.
Kari says
Fab me!
I love the bright cushion that is on our back entry bench – it makes me happy every time I see it.
Harmony says
Fab me! I love my slightly snarky cross stitches peppered throughout the house! If one looks closely enough, they really are awesome.
Rebecca says
Fab me! I love Fab.com! I have bright orange dining room chairs that I love!
Rebecca Colburn says
Fab me!

FAB ME!
Stef says
FAB ME!
One day while digging through old boxes I found a map of London. It was all wrinkled and marked up from a trip I took with friends in college – our routes planned out, starred things we wanted to see, etc. It’s now framed on our living room wall. I love it so much.
Jenny says
FAB ME! Thanks a million!
Andrea says
Fab me!
I love to add bright bold curtains around the house.
Ashley says
FAB ME!
I recently painted our half bath a raspberry color and LOVE it!
Shannon Fox says
FAB ME! I love quirky, I have random quirky all over the place. My favorite is a metal wall sculpture of a waitress carrying a stack of dishes with a sour look on her face. It just makes me laugh. It also reminds me of that tv show, Alice, where all those waitresses worked at Mel’s Diner. My grandparents watched that show and laughed the whole time, so it reminds me of them.
Suzanne says
FAB ME. I have a chair I reupholstered in some crazy fabric that we use for the built-in desk in our kitchen.
Kelly J. says
FAB ME!
We’ve got this great graphic print of a map of my hometown, with all the neighborhoods labeled. Kinda dorky, but I love it.
Carly says
FAB ME!
I actually just purchased a set of Russian nesting doll measuring cups, which I think are hilarious and fun, and I always had a weird fascination with nesting dolls as a kid.
Here’s a link for Amazon, but I got them at Target 70% off :)

Brenda says
FAB ME!! Recently I bought a vintage red plaid Thermos. I grew up on a farm and my Dad always carried a red plaid Thermos to the field during the Spring and Fall. It is displayed above our cupboards in the kitchen with some other items. It’s not his exact one but it works…it reminds me of my him and the long rides in the tractor/combine when I was a kid. We solved some of the world’s problems (or my problems, depending on who you ask) during those rides…Good times!!
Linda Swicker says
FAB ME! Most of the decorating aspects of my home are from flea markets, thrift stores, etc. My most colorful finds would have to be my Fiesta and Harlequin pottery from the 40’s to the 60’s. Bright reds, blues, pinks, yellows and more give me joy everyday whenever I pass the China cabinet (another find) that they live in.
[email protected] says
FAB Me! It’s a metal sculpural leaf shaped thing…can’t even really describe it, but when I saw it, I had to have it. The checkout guy said “Hey…you got the leaf!” so I knew someone else thought it was interesting at least!
Anika says
Fab Me! We aren’t very quirky, by My husband used to work on flat roofs and he would constantly be bringing home interesting looking rocks and agates. I never knew what to do with them so we started filling vases with them…I think each room in our house now has a vase or jar or rocks in it.
Kelly says
FAB ME! I have a big orange dresser from my Grams that I painted, love it.
dana says
FAB ME, please!
My home is super safe & boring. I need this shopping spree to spunk up my place! My quirkiest item is a colorful wooden elephant in my kitchen – because every kitchen should have an elephant.
Michellei says
FAB ME! I have a vintage couch upholstered in sunshine yellow buffalo check fabric and it makes me SO happy :)
Lori says
FAB ME! Unfortunately, my design is a bit boring because we move all the time. Nothing exciting & quirky yet…but we are hoping to buy a house soon & stay in one place for awhile!
Liz says
FAB ME! The great typographic print of the Philadelphia neighborhoods that my husband got me for Xmas is quirky and I love it!
MJB says
FAB ME!
I’ve framed several pieces of my young daughter’s art work. She painted a castle in teals and browns and a splash of orange that goes well in our living room. Her bright lime and turquoise parrot hangs in her room.
Lori Wojciechowski says
Fab me!!
Gina B says
FAB ME!
I have a framed picture of two multi-colored rhinos that I clipped out of magazine. I think they were initially an ad for paper plates or something, but the colors of the rhinos inspired the color scheme for my kitchen. How could I not frame them!?
Erika Rocio says
FAB ME!
I love this company. I’ve purchased good stuff from them.
Anywho: my favorite item right now is a Gallbladder Stuffed Plush that lives on the couch. I gave it to my boyfriend after he got his removed in surgery. Now he holds it while he eats greasy food on the couch.
Love y’all!
Erika
Blair @ BlairBlogs.com says
FAB ME!!!
I have a million things with the number “9,” I am absolutely OBSESSED with it!
Elaine K says
Fab Me! My house is pretty boring. The funkiest thing I have is a runner from Pier One.
Brittany says
FAB ME
We have these adorable stilluettes that I made of me, fiance, and our dog. We just got another dog and I can’t wait to add her picture to our wall! They’re bright yellow with a white trim and white stilluette.
Cassie says
FAB ME!
A homemade sign that says “it’s a beautiful thing when you love somebody” that’s up in our bedroom!
Rachel says
FAB ME!
I have a wooden foot from an antique store. It’s either a form for making shoes or was used to display shoes. It lives on a shelf with my cactus collection.
LeCheech says
FAB ME!
A full shark’s jaw is what I have. <3 I loves it.
