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.

    A pair of ferocious-looking and colorful paper mache masks from Puero Rico’s Carnival (their version of Mardi Gras); a parrot from Ensenada Mexico I bought on a between college semesters trip with friends (one of whom would become my husband!) which has hung in every kitchen I’ve lived in.

    FAB ME. Thank you so much. I have a painting in our family room that a barista from a coffee shop painted for me when I told her I loved a pumpkin she painted for a Halloween decoration at the coffee house. It is a perfect replica of the pumpkin. I love it.

    I have a small collection of 80’s toys (Charmkins, Sweet Secrets, Care Bears) that are in rotation in my daughter’s room. Some of them were actually mine and some I’ve recollected from eBay. All of them make me–and her–super happy!

    Fab Me! Almost everything in my house is a little weird, my favorite things are probably my growing collection of dog figurines I pick up at antique and thrift stores. And of course my growing collection of real dogs, but they only thing they really add to the decor is dog hair on everything I own.

    We have an antique oil painting of a clown in our half bath and it gives me the creeps everytime I go in there. My in-laws gave it to us and hung it where it currently hangs. We are stuck with it until they pass on because I don’t want to hurt their feelings and tell them what I really think of the painting!

    FAB ME! I have an Ernest Lee original in my kitchen. Blue and yellow butterflies – not one of his usual “funky chickens.” But if you aren’t from SC, you might not know who he is. You can, however, google him :)

    A small wooden owl that sits in a bowl on our kitchen table. He holds a little straw and tape flag. I change out the color of his tape flag every month or so. My 2 year old notices the color change right away every time!

    I think it might be a toss up between the cardboard moose head in the library (Thanks, sale at La Diff!) and the carved wooden bear that greets folks at the front door.

    Fab me – We used antique maps of the states that are meaningful to us (where we were born, where we’ve lived together, where we met) to make a wall collage. It’s interesting and has personal value to it, too.
