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 have original paintings from an artist in Senegal, Africa that I got when I lived there one summer and framed them when I returned to the states. Absolutely love them, everyone who sees them, comments on their bold colors!

    FAB ME! I actually own one of those fiber-optic(?) lights. It’s shaped like a bunch of flowers and it changes colours. It was a thrift shop gem gifted to me many years ago.

    FAB ME! the boyfriend and I have a few quirky colorfuls around the apartment – a grellow rooster lamp, a shiny silver ceramic robot bank, and a backwards black & white ceramic zebra that matches one my dad always had on his desk – but my current favorite is the sparkly hot pink reindeer mount I found at TJ Maxx for $10. it was meant to be a holiday decoration (and wore a tiny Santa hat meant for cats over the season) but I can’t bring myself to take him down!

    Fab me! I have a small pair of antlers hanging on the wall. My husband comes from a hunting family and I always said I’d NEVER mount a stuffed deer head or bird on the wall, but I like how the antlers are kind of a nod to his family without making it feel like a full-blown hunting lodge in my living room.

    There’s a lot of quirky going on in our house, including record art (up cycled old vinyl albums featuring a risqué banana/strawberries combo). Visitors tend to point out the journalism-related items though — comes with the job (headline fabric is featured in throw pillows and there is a growing collection of fake camera lenses/mugs).

    After my husband and I got married, his mother gave me a whole bunch of his childhood artwork. Some of that included pottery plates he decorated when he was four. They are Christmas themed. And yes, we ate Christmas dinner on them this year!

    My grandmother had an almost life-sized marble horse head in her living room that I always thought was a bit….much. On a recent trip to HomeGoods, I found a white ceramic horse head just like my grandma’s (although much, much smaller) and I had a change of heart, because I love it! It’s definitely quirky, and I love having something that reminds me of grandma!
    Thanks for the great giveaway!
