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.

    FAB ME! My husband is an architect, so our house is pretty sleek and modern. But I like to sneak in random non-sleek, non-modern bits here and there. Like a giant spray-painted branch I found while on a walk, or the random vintage ceramic bowls tucked in our bookshelves.

    I’ve got a life size plaster dog that I picked up at a garage sale. I was going to spray paint it white (or some bright neon color), but after living with the vintage, chipped boxer in our living room for a few weeks, I decided I loved him and I didn’t want to change him. Definitely a conversation piece!

    FAB ME… I have a map hanging over our fireplace that took all street, park and building names out of a LA map and replaced them with movie titles (e.g., “Jurassic Park,” “Sunset Boulevard,” etc.). I absolutely love it and it’s a great conversation starter!!!

    My favorite, and most unique, piece in my house is a painting of a girl drinking water from her cupped hands. It hung in my mommom’s house when I was growing up, and it simultaneously reminds me of her and my childhood. It doesn’t have the prettiest mat or frame, but I can’t bring myself to change it.

    FAB ME! My favorite quirky piece in my home is the handmade/homemade triangle flag bunting my hubby & I made from vintage fabrics for our own d.i.y. wedding reception. We have it strung up around the perimeter of the craft/project room. It’s awesome inspiration to look back & remember how we handcrafted our own big day. After taking on that project, we like to think there’s nothing we can’t d.i.y. with enough love and dedication.
