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.

    “FAB ME!” I spotted a picture of a sheep at a local Farmers Market and had to have it even thought it doesn’t really match our decor. It hangs in our hallway and gets lots of comments.

    Our favorite piece of art is – hand to heart – a giant 70s era picture of conquistadors. It is all brown and orange and green and giant, and our hearts broke when our last mover snapped part of the frame. It is all lovingly wrapped now, waiting for us to find the right person to put it back together (we are too afraid to DIY it).

    “FAB ME!”

    I guess the thing that’s probably most weird/quirky is the fact that we have a pool table in our basement/family room. I feel like it’s not something that most people have in their house… or move it 4 times.

    Also, I am a fellow Fab addict.

    The most colorful thing in our home is a watercolor done by my mother inspired by a similar one done by my grandmother. It is located on my mothers desk, leaning at eye level. Additionally, daughter, my mother and stepdad all live on top of the desk having all passed away. I love that I can talk to them all anytime I want!

    The quirkiest thing I have in my home is probably the oversized painting I have hanging over the couch (basically, the first thing you see when you walk in my front door). It’s huge, brightly colored and features three somewhat angry looking men in the middle of a discussion. I got a few strange looks when I showed it to people–it’s definitely not everyone’s taste–but to me it feels quintessentially DC and perfect for my apartment. :)
