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 poster literally off a telephone pole in Amsterdam, advertising their bike month. It says “XXX (heart) (bike picture).” Did you know XXX is the abbreviation for Amsterdam? and Fietspunt means bike?

    My newest love is this little guy here:
    http://www.crateandbarrel.com/ribbon-12-pillow/s491543

    It doesn’t really “go”, per se, as there is no magenta or orange to be found in my living room, but it was too darn cute to leave at Crate & Barrel, and it sits happily on my turquoise velvet desk chair — and stands out like the GEM it is!

    FAB ME!! I love my daughter’s quilt for her big girl room. It’s quite bright for my taste but I still remember her at 3.5 yrs in Target and insisting that it was the one for her. She still loves it and now I do too.

    FAB ME! I have a lamp that my grandfather made that’s about 4 feet high, shaped like two spirals intertwined. He gave it to me unfinished, so I sanded it smooth and gave it a nice finish and a big bright yellow lampshade. It’s definitely quirky-looking!

    We have a glycee from an artist from Kauai called “Hens Misbehaving”. It’s a bunch of chickens going to the beach in a VW bus. Silly print but means so much to us. Kauai is our favorite place in the world.
