***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.
- 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…

FAB ME!
We like to call our style “Mid-Century Attic” since the things furnishing our home currently are passed on from family members. It’s fun and eclectic!
Aubrey says
FAB ME! Something quirky in my home would be my antique looking cat sign by the door that says, “Don’t let the cat out, no matter what it tells you.” :) It makes me smile every time.
Ashley Culpepper says
FAB ME,
I have these white, ceramic, “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” set of owls. They are completely adorable and my friend’s two-year-old daughter is obessesed with them, pointing and saying owl, owl, owl… Every time she comes to visit.
Meg says
FAB ME! We have a bright yellow couch, and at first I hated it… Very hard to decorate around but it’s grown on me and now I love it!
Anne says

Mary says
Fab me! Framed artwork and posters from DC’s Smithsonian and Van Gogh museum, Amsterdam.

Cathy Lane says
FAB ME.
I love to frame anything. Who needs a scrapbook when you can put it in a frame and cover the walls with it.

Netty says
FAB ME! Hmm….I love our wedding wordle art–hubby and I picked out a bunch of words that meant stuff to us, we made a wordle we liked (http://wordle.net), I projected it onto watercolor paper and traced it and then painted it in watercolors. It hangs above our bed and was the backdrop at our wedding. In fact….I could totally see you two doing something similar as art in your home! I bet it would be right up your ally!
Crystal says
FAB ME!
We have one quirky little thing – my boyfriend is a poet and one of his readers made him a stuffed gadfly (part of his pen name), and it sits in our bedroom. We need to spice up the place!
Salina says
Fab me!! I love all the quirky photos that are up on our refrigerator displayed in a grid on magnetic bull clips. They crack me up every time I pass them by.

Colleen says
Fab Me.
I have a gigantic paper maiche cow head/shelf combo that I purchased at a flea market in Santa Fe over 25 years ago! It’s lived all over the country with me and is the only thing that I haven’t spray painted to update :)
Jacks says
FAB ME!!
The only quirky things in our apartment that I could think of are two African masks in our kitchen! I guess it is pretty weird to eat while a mask stares at you :)
PS: sooo fun meeting you in Palo Alto!

A 6′ x 8′ painting of a hot dog eating contest

Fab me! I found this ceramic head that I spray painted a bright blue. It always makes me happy!

FAB ME! My favorite weird decor item in my house is this clear rubber hand that I got as a Christmas gift from one of my friends. It was used as a model in an anatomy class to show the different bones, and now it resides on my bookshelf.
lyn says
FAB ME!
Blair says
FAB ME!
We have a candy heart that says “soul mate” sitting on our dining room hutch. It dates back to when I first met the hubby (after we liked each other, before we admitted it and started dating – a.k.a. the crush phase). He visited me in my dorm. I offered him candy (it was February, so candy hearts). He picked one and read it aloud. “Soul mate.” Insert the most awkward silent moment ever.
Jill Galmarini says
Fab me!
In the fifth grade I made a clay dinosaur and painted it like it was heading straight to Mardis Gras. It sits proudly on my mantle.
AMANDA S. says
FAB ME! We have the goofiest ceramic aligator that we picked up at Big Lots! He is awful, but will forever have a place of honor in our home. lol
Lynne says
FAB ME!
I have a red couch that I love.
Sharon F says
FAB ME! I have some funky teal, navy, black, white and citron curtains from Ikea in our kitchen, which almost seem out of place in our very traditional home, but they somehow work.
Cathy S. says
FAB ME! My favorite kind of quirky thing in our house is a pair of old louver doors that I use to display family photos!
Jennifer J. says
FAB ME! My quirky home item is the collage of old black and white photos of my grandparents and their friends doing silly poses, it hangs in my living room.
