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.

  • 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)

  • 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)

    Fab Me! I love our beautiful brightly colored beach paintings from the Bahamas! We bought one when we got engaged on a cruise and the second on the cruise celebrating our 2 year anniversary. That plus our shot glasses we have collected from places we have been make me smile every day!

    FAB ME! My fav would probably be the giant metal Root Beer advertising signs my husband “picked” out of his grandparents’ barn.

    “Fab me” one of my favorite unique quirky item in my house is a three tiered boxed cow that has been with me since college. I call her my moo cow and she has moved with me over 8 times. She was a give away from a bat mitzvah my mother in law attended. I love her and can’t imagine her not keeping watch over my house.

    FAB ME! Something quirky in our house: a couple of old communist propaganda posters we brought back from Vietnam.

    Mobiles. I didn’t realize how many we have until we moved. We have hedgehogs hanging from the ceiling in our living room, Japanese parasols in the guest room, moss-covered umbrellas in the bedroom… They’re everywhere. You’ve never seen such decorated ceilings.

    Fab me!! I make clocks made out of old vinyl records. The one hanging in my house has a picture of Marlyn Monroe in the center with stenciled numbers and high epoxy gloss over the whole album. Very quirky and cool. One of a kind!!

    I framed a really colorful embroidered tapestry we got on our honeymoon in Mexico – it’s huge and awesome! One of my favorite things in our house.

    FAB ME! I have now decided our home is too plain! Can’t think of anything quirky, or maybe it’s because I think everything is normal? Final answer- Emma, our 3 year old beagle. She’s a weirdo.

    We have an orange & brown plaid rocker/recliner from my hubby’s grandpa – quirky… or just plain ugly?! ;)

    I have this mirror style vase that I bought at Target. It goes with NOTHING in our house, but yet I love it! Maybe I’ll spray paint it at some point?

    Fab me! I’ve got a gorgeous batik by an artist from Guam, Judy Flores, hanging in our dining room. The beautiful ocean scene in the batik makes me happy.

    I think the exterior look of my house looks weird cuz of my over sized garage but I love the functionality of it.

    In our living room we have a quirky red bird made using pieces of scrap metal. My husband got it as a gift at a film festival, and brought it home for me. It reminded me of little trinkets the guys made with left over materials when I worked for the special effects department on a film. Love reusing “junk” to make something cool!

    Something weird: I have 2 framed photos of my friend on my mantel. One is a very serious looking headshot (it’s signed), and the other is one of him in front of a fire with nothing on except a pillow (covering his particulars)! I won each as white elephant gift exchange presents, two years in a row.

    Something colorful: I love color! My favorite is a magenta velvet retro-looking chair that I use as a seat for a vanity. I love it so much, I could stare at it for an hour.

    Something quirky: I have a gnome collection!

    Fab me! A poster advertising the open house for a Belgian art school…because the phrase it uses (“Opendeur Weekend”) includes my maiden name (deur = door). We got it from the school itself, and the students working at the front desk seemed very confused by my request, made in halting Dutch and English.

    My absolute favorite “quirky” item in my home is my dog lamp! Which is exactly what is sounds, a ceramic white french bulldog with a lamp on his back! Love him!

    My too cool for words red and yellow string art, circa who knows when. Purchased from a thrift store when I was 14, err a 15 years ago eep!

    I have a colorful print of a naked lady on a flying bike with a mass of orange hair in my entry! One of the compromises made with my husband that I have grown to love. I love the pop of orange and have embraced the color in my main living areas.

    My stepfather loves to woodwork, so we have a bunch of his projects in our our house! Everything from beautiful rocking horses to some quirky looking ducks.
