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.

    My favorite pop of color in my house is my bright yellow Bo Jia ceramic vase. It was one of the first decorations that I got on my own that wasn’t a hand me down- it is so cheerful looking!

    We keep a sled in the dining room (one of the toboggan sleds from LL Bean) for the occasional ride around the house. He’s only 13 months and we haven’t had much snow this year (a Richmonder as well), so he’s content with pushing it around the house :)

    I have a quirky pillow cover from Thailand that my mom got before I was even born. It’s definitely different but even more so it reminds me of my parents and all the wonderful things they’ve experienced around the world. It’s inspiration!

    We have a broom that we jumped at our wedding mounted over our bed. It was made by a local artisan at the farmer’s market, and the handle is a staircase banister. I love it, even though it looks a little odd.

    I have a lot of turtles. It’s not too obvious at first but once you look around a bit you’ll notice that there are at least a few little turtle figurines in each room. I loved them as a kid so I get a lot of them as gifts from friends and family.

    It would have to be the model of my parents’ house that I made with my dad in 3rd grade. It even has the slate path in the backyard. My mom is more quirky though, she has a collection of doll heads!
