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!
    We found a crate of radio tubes (like mini light bulbs) a few years ago at an antique mall for $20. I’m a sucker for things in multiples. We put about half in two large, clear vases. They’re one of my favorite, quirky things.

    FAB ME! I have a little ceramic elephant lamp that I’m a bit obsessed with. It lives in my guest room alongside my many pieces of Haitian art that my grandparents collected (and then gave to me) while they were missionaries there. Don’t think there are actual elephants in Haiti… but oh well! ;)

    I have a huge print of cherries that reads, “We tend to seek happiness when happiness is actually a choice.” I love the saying. I love that it’s huge and probably belongs in a much larger house. It makes me happy in mine though!

    I love the colourful walls in my flat – green in the bathroom, bright orange in one hallway, one dark red accent wall in the other hallway, and above all my pink office! It has pink wall (think of raspberry yoghurt) and lots of accessories in shades of pink and purple, or white, or teal. It’s my kitschy princess room so all the other rooms can be fairly neutral and calm, apart from the pops of colour on the walls.
    When people come to visit, they either love or hate the office :-)

    FAB ME! For the sake of frugality, 99% of the art in my apartment is painted by me or my boyfriend. Neither of us is an artist, both of us like bright colors, and we usually run out of steam before creating a finished “masterpiece.” Up on the wall they go anyway to join the quirky art gallery!

    We’ve been in a constant state of reno since moving into our new house, and while we’re almost done all the “big” projects, we haven’t put all the finishing touches in yet, so our place is kind of a blank slate! I would loveee an extra excuse to start adding those cute touches!

    My husband is an understated kind of guy, so most of our furniture is pretty neutral. The one area where he doesn’t care if I go crazy is couch pillows, so we have quite a few fun patterns strewn across the furniture!
