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.

    We have a big abstract painting in our living room that was a group effort by myself, my husband, and my then-2 year old. It is my favorite piece of art in the house. :)

    I’d have to say my fun IKEA chandelier is the most quirky thing in our house. It is only quirky because no one in Idaho shops at IKEA. =)

    FAB ME! Years ago my mother painted a wall in my bedroom for me with varying shades of my favorite color (bright green). It has crazy texture (because she did it by hand with a brush in perpendicular directions) and overall is so funky and me that it is still there all these years later!

    My favorite spot in my house is the back sliding glass door. The curtains are jewel toned and there are sconces of metal on either side and a really nice curtain rod. They all just balance so nicely!

    FAB ME! My mom recently gave me this small, weird, awesome statuette of a Hawaiian tribal chief. It was a souvenir my grandma picked up when she vacationed there. He doesn’t have a spot in the house yet, but I think I’ll keep him next to my hubby’s ukelele on the mantle.

    My favorite colorful items are any of our 5mo olds toys! They are a new addition to the house (you know, comes with the addition of a baby!) and they just remind me how blessed we are to have this little sweetie! His green and white animal ikea rug is pretty sweet also!

    Thought it isn’t permanent, my living room is currently filled with fabulously colorful and mismatched thrift store furniture, waiting to be reupholstered. I like watching people’s reactions when they see it. You can tell they are wondering if it’s for real.

    Quirky things in my house? I have a quirky painting of two alien love birds that I hate, but a friend did it for us as a wedding gift. I also have an “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” clock and a collection of funky socks.
