***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 need more color in my life/house. It is a little thing, but I love my turquoise pots in my kitchen. I leave them on the stove just to bring some color into the place.
dominique says
Fab Me!! I am totally addicted to Fab! I would have to say the quirkiest piece(s) in my home are the two charcoal caricatures that my husband and I had drawn of us while on our honeymoon in Italy…they are like beautiful drawings in the way that the charcoal was used but then you see the huge honking noses…they are hilarious and actually take up a pretty large piece of wall real estate!
Andrea H. says
FAB ME! We have an authentic German cuckoo clock from my husband’s grandmother, and another clock the shape of China (where we lived for a couple years.)
Brandylyn Cohea says
FAB ME!
In our home we have a 2×2′ light blue canvas with the words “I love the ish out of you” in block, white letters down one side. It never fails to make visitors stop, star and maybe even chuckle … but for my husband and I its just the absolute truth :)
Mrs. Butterworth says
Fab me! I love collection of turtle shells that my husband finds in the woods when he goes hunting! I don’t know why, but I do!

Breanna @ reedworthy.com says

sara says
Fab Me! I love all of my boyfriend’s art– large ink blots and portraits and concept art about fallen WW2 pilots– but my *favorite* favorite is a Snoopy thermos my grandma carried to work when she was a welder.

Max says
Fab me!
My favorite quirky thing in my house is a giant portrait of Bill Murray hanging in the bathroom. It makes everyone laugh.
Catherine says
Fab me! My favorite quirky thing is my son Oscar’s room. It’s such a fun room! And it boasts a school bus yellow dresser that I painted when I was pregnant… it’s eerily similar to the one you just bought for Clara’s big girl room!
adrienne says
FAB ME! i have a print of my milk toof of ickle giving lardee a bath in my bathroom.
chanie says

Nicole says
FAB ME!!!
The “big” items in my home are pretty neutral, but I love to add some punch with super colorful (and sometimes quirky) art and photos!
Colleen says
Fab me!
We have a large abstract acrylic painting my husband’s buddy created after a long night of partying. Seriously. It’s a colorful, incognito female nude, and it’s right in our kitchen nook, lady parts and all! What can I say? The colors work well w/our home and it fills the space just right.
christa says

Candace says
Fab me!
When my husband and I bought our first home (almost 2 years ago!) the first paint color I chose for our 70 year old home was in the kitchen – bright red! My husband doubted, but it turned out great once everything was in and I added some burlap accessories. I still love the way it turned out!
Megan says
FAB ME! My friends say their favorite “quirky” thing in my house is a giant lego head on my bookshelf, but mine is the homemade canvas art with my son’s footprints and the alice in wonderland quote “if you don’t know where you’re going, any road’ll take you there.”
Ginger says
Fab Me!
We’ve got a plaster bust of Chairman Mao that is hot pink and fuzzy flocked. It’s been with me for almost 6 years, 3 houses, and I bought it a week before my husband and I met. Somehow, weird as it is, we always find a place for it to make it work.
Melissa C says
FAB ME! I have a teal blue ceramic hippo in my living room bookcase. It was in my Dad’s home office all through my childhood, and I always adored it from afar. Last time I was visiting my dad, I noticed it still up on his bookshelf where it had been for all those years… and asked him about where it came from. He said he got it as a gift many years back, and he had no idea why or where the gift was purchased. After a minute of Googling, I found out it’s a replica of an Egyptian tomb artifact from 1961–1878 B.C., the original of which is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. So cool! It proudly hangs out alongside some family photos and some books, including the YHL book of course!
Sarah W says
FAB ME!! I have a vase that is a ceramic pair of pants and cowboy boots. Love them!
Donna Ingalls says
FAB ME
I would say that the weirdest thing i have is a crystal rat. Yes, a rat. I purchased it on our honeymoon almost 34 years ago and just fell in love with its expression. It is a very strange object since I don’t like these creatures at all, but a crystal one is fine.
Emilie says
Fab me!
I love the metallic copper wall in our bedroom.
kimberly says
Fab me!
we display the lid from a wine box shipment as a reminder of the years we spent living in Napa.

FAB ME! My favorite colorful piece in our home is a vintage green picture frame that holds a picture of my dad from High School.
sarita says
FAB ME!
My favorite piece in our home is our collection of huipiles (pronounced “whip-eel”), which is a traditional blouse worn by indigenous women of Guatemala, where my husband is from. They are very bright and colorful, and make wonderful wall hangings, or with a few stitches, pillows.
Jo says
FAB ME!!! I would say its a toss up between my dinosaur collection and my ceramic squirrels.
Tracy B says
FAB ME! I have a turquoise coffee table that I just adore. It totally makes the room.
Meghan says
FAB ME!
We wallpapered the curved ceiling of our tiny, tiny kitchen in old maps of places that are meaningful to us – I love the soft colors and that it always takes people a while to notice!
Phoebe says
Fab me!!
A vintage painting of a German Shepherd. It’s fab.
