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!!

    When we bought our house, the previous owners (who had decorated the place with many previously-live animals on display – yikes!) left us a sweet welcome basket along with a carved mountain goat wood sculpture, which I LOVE! I quickly bought a Ram so the goat has a buddy on the mantle. I refer to that guy as (sung in an announcer-type voice) MANTLE RAAAAAM! Yeeeeah.

    FAB ME…because I have an animal fetish like Sherry! While mostly birds, I do own a fabulous vintage plaster bull’s head (near life size, ha!) that hangs on the wall and can also serve as a bank. Best flea market find ever! I love it so much that I don’t care if people think I’m crazy :)

    The “quirkiest” (is that even a word?) thing that we have in our house is an old painting done by my grandfather that features a sombrero hanging next to an old door with a garden hose sneaking it’s way into the painting in the corner. Such a strange subject, but very very well loved by us!

    The quirkiest thing in our home is something that was original to it…thankfully none of the previous owners have removed or covered it. In our basement, we have a full-sized, official shuffleboard on our floor. The perimeter of it is funky black-and-white floor tiles. Everyone who comes over loves it, and it’s made for some fun late-night parties!

    I recently purchased Jenny Lind beds in “raspberry” from The Land of Nod. I was originally looking at the white, but when I saw the rasperry it was love at first sight. I am so enamored with these that I might just move into my daughters’ bedroom.

    Our house is a little quirky as a whole (so are we).. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/548298 .
    The weirdest thing, though, is that the door to enter our living room is only about 70 inches high, wherefore my husband always has to bend to walk in :-)
