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 an old Peanuts bedspread that I have had since I was a kid. It’s thin (like a sheet) so it is great when you want to cover up but don’t want to be too warm. I love my “Snoopy blanket!”

    We have a pretty eclectic mix of items in our toronto apartment, but my absolute favorite is a brown, cream, and grey persian rug that is in our living room. It was my Mom’s first ever “big” apartment purchase thirty five years ago when she moved away from home and we treasure it (even though it is starting to look a bit threadbare).

    Thanks!

    Fab me!! The responses say I am WAY too conservative; winning this would give me a chance to think out of the box:) Two quirky things I DO have are framed maps of places I have visited, with the dates and parts of the trip outlined on the map…nice memories.

    We have a shot glass collection from all the places we’ve travelled. It gets weirder and quirkier by the year. We’re running out of room on the current shelves and may need to explore new options for how to display them in years to come. Any ideas guys?

    We have a big, old dresser in our living room that we use as a sideboard/TV stand. It is ornately hand-carved and painted BRIGHT-azz teal. I found it at an antique store like that, and the gentleman helping me pack it up said “What color are you going to stain it?” I just looked at him in confusion.

    Side note- I think I paid $150 for it. I did a little research and similar pieces by the same maker are going for $1200+ on Ebay!

    My boys’ bathroom is one of the most fun rooms in the house because it is colorful, cheerful, and young without screaming “kid”. The walls are a palm green, the cabinet is a chocolate brown, the shower curtain has large multicolored polka dots on it, and there are three framed photos on the wall of old fashioned cars taken by my husband. It’s us and it makes me happy every time I go in there to give my boys their baths.

    FAB ME!! In my room I have a funky wall shelf that houses my shot glass collection which chronicles most all of the places I’ve ever been. It’s a nice trip down memory lane and it doesn’t look quite as “college dorm room” as it sounds…
