***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’ve collected pig themed objects since I was in high school and my mom still sends me quirky little pig figurines or art all the time. My favorite is a little glass pig that sits on our mantle – love it!

The colorful quirky sight that greets visitors to our home is Chris Yates Literal Highway Map: http://www.chrisyates.net/reprographics/index.php?page=424
Love it – and it’s always a conversation piece!
Nikki Miller says
Fab Me!!!!!!!
Kim says
Fab me! I guess a quirky item in our house would be e large Japanese fish print of a fluke in our family room. It was done by a local artist using real local caught fish and it aways gets comments.
Lisa says
Fab me please!! We have a couple Harry potter related things hanging on the wall of our office (which is really only a room we iron in). I guess you’d say they are quirky but we are big HP fans and we love them!!
Sarah says
Fab me!! I have really colorful pillow covers on our couch and on our bed. Next up I’m looking for a FAB rug and some FAB pieces of art!
Ali says
FAB ME!
I have a carved wood clock with a tiki god on it. In big, tropical lettering, it says, “Tiki Tock!” Love him :)
Cair says
FAB ME!
My purple dining room.
Kasey says
Fab me!
I have a large poster size print of my dog above my mantel.
Rachel says
FAB ME!
Well, we have some weird and quirky stuff – taxidermied animals in the basement. But it’s b/c it’s a rental home. Not really my idea of quirky that I love. I would love to have more “out there” stuff that I really enjoy!
Heidi says
Fab me! I love a red mailbox we have in our house. :)
Tracy says
Some of my dog’s plush toys are too cute, I want to display them!
Emily says
FAB ME!! An ex-coworker of mine painted me the Tree of Life on an old Starbucks table and used cardboard from the boxes and found object around the store.
Carrie says
Fab me!!!
Margot S. says
FAB ME!
My boyfriend and I found a plastic horse (one that goes on a swing set) on the sidewalk in Brooklyn. We are planning on making it into a light fixture!
Amber says
FAB ME! My favorite quirky thing in my home is a solid wood chair I salvaged from the Barnes & Noble trash pile and painted bright turquoise!

A painting of robots in love

FAB ME! As a ChiO, I have a strong affinity for owls, and you can find one, big or small(sometimes hidden), in almost every room :)
janay says
FAB ME!!!
i scored a tapestry from urban outfitters at the beginning of last semester. since we aren’t allowed to paint it adds just enough color to our living room!
Katherine says
FAB ME! I’d say my sons’ room is about as colorful and quirky as it can be, since they are 3 and 5 and I’ve let them help decorate it! I love that their room reflects who they are and what they are interested in (arts and crafts, dinosaurs, and the color orange predominantly)!
Kate H. says
FAB ME!
My kitchen is a colorful, if not so quirky, terra cotta color. My dad had a bedroom painted that color and I always felt like I was swimming in the womb. That would be a good feeling, if it wasn’t obvious :)
Ruth says
Fab me! I love my large fabric wall hanging in my living room. It is a blue and white batik that I bargained for in a market in Southern China. And the wall it is on is a peachy orange (a color I picked on a whim, which is totally unlike me, but it adds nice warmth to the room).
Daisy says
FAB ME!
A small lineup of troll dolls (you know, the ones that were popular in school) on my bookcase.
Jennifer Ramirez says
Fab me!! I love my big horse picture hanging in the dining room.
Ashley says
Fab me, please!
shaine says
FAB ME! I have 2 bright, colorful drawings done by my little brother when he was 10 hanging on my living room wall. they make me smile every time i see them :)
Sari says
Fab Me! I have a signed oil painting Featuring a rather weird looking person that hangs in my bedroom. Could be considered creepy but I love it.
Laurie says
FAB ME! I have this awesome black and white giant damask print wallpaper just begging to go up in my living room once the rest of the renos are done…
Deni says
Fab me! I love my old ceiling tile that now serves as a bright piece of art.
Brianne Shively says

Lauren says
FAB ME! I love the Jan Korthals lithographs I picked up at the 17th street farmers market a few years ago for $25… best $25 I’ve ever spent!!
Zeba says
FAB ME! I love the turquoise moorish/geometric wallpaper in my living room!
Sonja Kerth says
FAB ME! My husband’s stadium cups arranged in the kitchen from every sporting event he’s ever attended. It was the one thing he could not part with when we merged our stuff after getting married. I used to hate them, but grew to realize they get more attention then all the rest of the “stylish” stuff. I now see it as a collection of memories rather than plastic cups that most people throw away.
Paula says
FAB ME! I bought a funky hand-painted frog picture at a garage sale for three bucks. It is colorful, odd, and one of my favorite pieces of artwork in our house!
Pamela says
FAB ME! I have a fabulous, colorful large artwork on canvas that gets lots of compliments…a great statement piece purchased very inexpensively from Craigslist. Super unique & makes me smile.
Callie says
FAB ME!!! I love my chartreuse Fiestaware! People either love it or hate it. I have one friend who will actively avoid eating off of it (I have other colors, too), which of course results in a strange dance as I do my best to make sure it lands at his spot.
jace says
Fab Me! My favorite quirky items are my collection of mid-century penny banks.
Ahsamon says
Fab Me! …the quirkiest thing in my apt is an old paint pallet sheet that I framed bc I thought looked like a lion :P
Heather S says
FAB ME!!! I wheat pasted “Art is a lie” (from a Picasso quote) onto one of my closet doors in bright red. I love it – but I’m not really sure what I’m going to do when I move out and my landlord asks me to take it off the door.
Alison F. says
FAB ME! It’s a super bright floral chair that I call my “Happy Chair”… I turned the corner at Home Goods and it was just sitting there – smiling at me.
Christina C. says
FAB ME!!!!!
Debby says
FAB ME, please!
I love my aquarium. We have had it for 15 years and fish come and go, but I always enjoy watching them swim around.
