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.

    One of the throw pillows on our couch isn’t a throw pillow. It’s a neck pillow that looks like a log. Because I can, that’s why. :)

    My favorite thing is from my wedding: We had a destination wedding in Mexico and when we were down there we found an amazing map of the area and we used this as our guestbook! Everyone signed their names and we brought it home, framed it, and now it hangs in our living room. LOVE!

    THe weirdest/quirkiest thing in my apartment is the wall of mine, my roommates’, and our friends’ photocopied faces…it’s one of the very first things you see when you walk in our apartment and as strange as it is, I love it because it captures our personalities very well. It’s a quintessentially college decorating idea (at least I think so), but dressed up in some colorful frames could be a cool way to decorate a wall regardless…and it’s become a point of pride among our friends to be featured on the wall!

    I have this vintage fabric that I found at a thrift store. It’s a floral, but loose floral, with mint, raspberry, turquoise, coral and more…it’s such a fun fabric that I’ve only made a pillow out of so far – I’m waiting for inspiration to use the rest of the few yards up.

    I have a neat old door from a 100-year-old steel warehouse that was remodeled into lofts. It’s gray with starburst designs and starburst glass in the top half. It’s sitting in my hallway waiting to be installed as a linen-closet door – my next DIY project!
