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.

    My house WILL have a bright red door, which is plenty quirky for my husband. As soon as the weather is warm enough for outside painting to ‘cure’ correctly.

    My favorite quirky item is a marble-top end table from my grandmother’s house. I love that I grew up using it and still have it in our living room. It has the added bonus of being trendy right now!

    My favorite spot in the entire house is my office – it’s got rich, dark turquoise walls and a bright red chair. My husband got overwhelmed the first time he walked in. I love huge pops of color, and he really really doesn’t.

    One quirky item in my home is a metal black ampersand. A large one, probably 3×3. People always ask me what it is for, or where the before *and* after’s are…but I love it all on it’s own. I snagged it at an estate sale for $20!

    I love this turquoise colored duck that I insisted that my mom buy me when I was in college, from the gardening section of Target (about 8 years ago). What all-white animals are to Sherry, oddly colored animals are to me! (Although I DID receive a white ceramic whale from my mom for Christmas…)

    My obsessions are very apparent in my home, you will either see something related to elephants, peacock feathers, lotuses, paisley, block prints, or purple. My office room has all of the above.
