Fab Freebie: A Literal Fab Freebie

***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.

Fab Dot Com Giveaway

  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Fab.

    I spray-painted an old file cabinet raspberry pink a while back. I like the cheeriness it adds to filing. :)

    FAB ME! My quirky item that I love is a piece of art I made out of magazine cutouts of the TARDIS from Doctor Who on a field. It’s easily one of my favorite things in my apartment, and everyone who sees it loves it!

    My favorite in my apartment is the large print I have of something entitled “Fowl with Pearls”…google it! I think its kind of humorous. The boyfriend disagrees.

    I took a print from my childhood room (a Noah’s arc painting) and painted the frame hot pink. I think it looks great but my mom (who I got it from for safe keeping) thinks it’s terrible.

    Fab me! I have a large Chuck Close print hanging in our kitchen. I think it’s great because I love Chuck Close and all of his amazing paintings… but it’s also a giant angry-looking man staring at everyone, all the time.

    The quirkiest thing in my apartment is definitely the foot-tall, sombrero-wearing, gun-slinging, tequila-bottle-clutching, papier-mache man I bought in Cuernavaca, Mexico in the late 90’s. It’s traveled around with me through college, law school, and every home I’ve ever lived in.

    I have a faux deer head complete with large antlers made from some sort of straw type of material that I purchased from a local floral and home decor store. I hang it over the fire place every Christmas and every year my friends and family tease me about it! I don’t care because he is one of a kind and I love him!

    “Fab Me” We have a forty three year old bottle of wine my husband’s college friend gave us that sits on top of his desk. It is one of those Italian wines with the tassel at the cork you would make into a candle in college. We never opened it (and never plan to) and there is still wine in it….

    FAB ME! Ooh my fingers are crossed – that shop looks so amazing!

    I adore a quirky set of pillows that I got my husband for Christmas last year. They have a custom screenprinted & embroidered (a collaboration between two amazing local artists) hippo and giraffe, which are kind of our mascots. They’re funky but grown-up looking and live on our sofa.

    I’m just about to start apartment hunting again so all of my stuff is in storage…but there are lots of treasures in there waiting to be unpacked. Including a ceramic monkey vase and a stuffed horse made of vintage mismatched indian fabric that i brought back from india – kinda quirky & weird for sure!

    “FAB ME!” In the corner of our dining room we have a very colorful felt playhouse that I made for our girls. It fits over a folding table and has tons of fun things on it like a picket fence, mailbox, birdies, a squirrel and lots of other details. The girls love it, and I do too!
