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.

    We have a giant John Clease poster of the Ministry of silly walks that greets you right when you come in the door. It is the only poster I “grudgingly” let my husband put up. Secretly, I love it! (but don’t tell him that!)

    On our honeymoon to Jamaica, we were able to find this charming carving of a rooster in reds and oranges that I just love. It’s hilarious looking and fun and it reminds me of our amazing honeymoon every time I look at it!

    The quirkiest thing in my house (apart from me!) is our polka dot covered armchair. I lovingly hand-sewed the cover from fabric my friend (ahem) “procured” for me when working in a textile warehouse. Makes me smile every time I see someone wearing a blouse in the same print!

    We have quirky things. I know we have quirky things… but I’m too tired to think of them right now. All I’ve got is we’ve have 5 owls (1 vase, 1 candle, 1 figurine, and salt & pepper shakers) on one bookcase. We really need to spread the owl love around a little!

    Currently my favorite weird thing in the house is a small 8″ by 12″ framed mirror with an owl etched on it. The owl looks like it is wearing a peacock costume. Very interesting. Gonna be the thing I use to decorate my daughter’s bedroom. Love the colors!

    The quirkiest thing in my house is a giant dog travel crate. Right on the main floor, between the dining room & living room – prime visibility. I never thought I would, but when you fall madly in love with your goldendoodle, he rules the roost.
