***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!
I love my Miniature Schnauzer and have a picture of a Schnauzer in a bathtub in my bathroom.
Marika says
FAB ME!
I have a 4″ diameter low-to-the-ground swiveling chair. It was in my grandparents’ house when I was growing up. I love that at some point in time each of my family members has napped on it after some holiday meal. However, I updated the 1970’s orange velour by having it reupholstered in a gray/brown herringbone.
jen says
Fab me! I would say our new yellow lamps and yellow pillow in the living room! Such cheerfulness in a cloudy, dreary January!
Tara G says
FAB ME!!!
We have a (not alive) jellyfish that is in some kind of glass enclosure. I’m not sure what the name for it is.
I also have a mini jellyfish in a necklace we bought at an aquarium.
Sarah says
FAB ME! I love my two bright yellow corner cabinets. I bought them while living in China and shipped them home when I moved back.

FAB ME!!!

FAB ME! I have this black and white picture of me climbing the stairs to the Blarney stone and the only pop of color are my red keds… I smile every time I see those red shoes!
Meghan says
A vase that is pokadot and that is in the shape of a dress. It was one of the first things I bought for my college apartment and always makes me smile when I remember the fun times I had in that period of my life.
Meghan says
Oh yeah….FAB ME!
Alma says
FAB ME! Our Orange color fireplace that I painted 3 years ago. The weird thing about it? It doesn’t go with our ocean blue carpet. But we love it!
EM says
FAB ME!!!
My quirk is vintage Fiesta ware in my bathroom…. I ran out of display space/ did not have full sets (handme downs) so now they are used to wrangle jewerly and whatnotes in my bathroom :)
leah says
FAB ME!
I have many, many versions of the letter “L” scattered throughout my house. I love typography and graphic design and have always loved letters, especially my lovely “L”‘s! I also have several “M”s for the hubby, just not as many… :-)
Anna says
FAB ME!! I have some art work that my mom found at an auction for $22 which I love!!
Kim says
FAB ME! The quirkiest thing in my house that I love? Probably that orange glitter reindeer head hanging in my entryway that I just can’t bring myself to take down. I’m still kicking myself for buying only one. :)
Whitney says
FAB ME! My spray painted ceramic-y owls are fun… and probably weird to some :)
Casey says
FAB ME!!!
We are still working on adding fun and quirky things into our new home, but right now I’m loving the bright blue/silver tablecloths I got on clearance for $2 each and turned into curtains! They make me smile for being fun, thrifty and crafty!
Allie says
FAB ME! I have a funky picture of a leaf my boyfriend painted at a work event. It looks like it was done by a 5 year old but I love it.
Bryan says
Fab me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shaye says
“FAB ME!”
Our house is a Sears & Roebuck catalog house, and it has all kinds of fabulous quirks. My favorite features are the archways all through the house.
Lea says
Fab me! We a collection of old postcards from everywhere we’ve lived…the best part is reading the messages people actually wrote to each other almost a century ago.
Johanna says
FAB ME!
My most favorite thing (right now) is a bronze pig that guards my cookbooks. He’s just big enough that people ask about him all the time. Makes me smile every day!
brittany says
Fab me!
My husband DIY’ed this scratching post from sisal and driftwood and that thing never disappoints as a conversation starter.
Kathy K says
FAB ME!
I love the deer antlers I have that my son found in our woods.
Shanna says
Fab Me!
I LOVE our DIYed ABC wall for the kids…just wish it weren’t in our living room, which they are slowly but surely taking over!
Sylvia says
Fab me!! We have several colorful mobiles in out house.
Letitia says
FAB ME! I love fab and order pet stuff from them a little too often than I really should. I have a ton of ‘quirky’ French Bulldog and Boston Terrier sculptures and figurines in our home and just order a frenchie address stamp from Fab last night. Ha.
Jess says
FAB ME! I have an old photograph of a bunch of Navy boys in their barracks in alaska circa 1975. The room is wallpapered in photos of old movie stars and pinups. I love that thing. ;)
Carrie says
Fab Me!
I’m ordering an eggplant purple sectional for our new house. I originally wanted an aqua one, but my husband veto’d it.
Susie Wilson says
FAB ME! Our living room has a very brightly colored floral rug. Flowers aren’t exactly our thing, but our two daughters love them!
Marian says
FAB ME! I have a white deer head on my wall that is pretty awesome.
Jackie says
FAB ME!
My husband and I recently bought a home and the colors that were recently painted are pretty bland. I’m hoping to spice it up with some new paint and decor- but that’ll be a while yet. Right now my favorite “colorful” piece is a big vintage mirror I found at a local thrift store. Obviously, it’s the frame that’s colorful. A bright vintage yellow, to be exact. It’s lovely! And the mirror is extremely heavy so I hesitate to hang it- right now it is propped up on our mantel.
Kelly S says
FAB ME!!
I love the fuschia “H” in my daughter’s nursery!
Amanda says
FAB ME!
I have a colorful floral banner hanging over my couch in the living room, which some people say looks juvenile b/c of the colors, but I think since the rest of the room is very subdued and neutral, it’s awesome!
Courtney Corrigan says
Fab me! :)
Susannah says
FAB ME! I have a concrete english bulldog sitting in our foyer in honor of our bulldog izzy.
Laurie says
Fab Me!
A couple quirky things of mine include both a small furry llama named Fred (he’s made with real llama fur – from Peru!) and a garden gnome that sit on the bookshelf across from my bed.
Apparently I like being stared at by llamas and gnomes while I’m sleeping…do you think they “wake up” at night and play like in Toy Story?! I could see Mr. Gnome riding poor Fred…hah!
Erin says
Fab me!
I have a tiny toilet my mom made in pottery class in the 70’s. I keep it in my bathroom and it holds my many pairs of glasses.
Alexa says
FAB ME!!!
We have an awesome, large orange and yellow painting from the 70’s in our living room!
Kyla says
FAB ME!
A beautiful wooden tree (with an owl, of course!) in the corner of my son’s nursery, handmade by my husband, brother, and father!
Lisa Leigh says
FAB ME!
I have dinosaurs in the closet!
Colleen says
FAB ME
My favorite thing in my home is my mantle. It has a wood, ceramic, and blue glass theme. My favorite piece on it is the wooden Don Quijote bust I found during college.
Dawn S says
Fab Me! The quirkiest thing in my home has to be the 70 pound painted concrete goose in my living room. His name is Harry Goose and he has 12 different outfits, including a santa outfit, a witch costume and an Easter bunny outfit. Right now Harry is sporting his blue moose parka with matching beret and scarf. I have the best dressed goose in town.
Allison says
FAB ME!
I have a giant desk that I found at a thrift store….and painted bright purple. I love it.
Kim D. says
FAB ME!
The first “quirky” thing that comes to mind is the dozen or so old wooden cogs, sprockets and wheels that are hanging up in our dining room in a random constellation-like pattern.
Laura says
FAB ME!!! We have an oil painting of my husbands first dog. It graces our living room walls! Not too quirky but something fun.
Vicky Walker says
FAB me!
My favorite quirky thing in our house is the lime green, square-ish armchairs in the living room. :)

Jesser says
FAB ME!
Sounds weird but I love the edge of my bedroom door! It’s painted a bright neon yellow color, but just on the edge so it doesnt overwhelm the room.
