***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.
- 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…

FAB ME!
I have an extremely bright patterned couch from Ikea that others think is weird but I think it fits me perfectly.

Amanda @ willful/joyful says
FAB ME! We have a neon sign in the kitchen that my dad made for me. It’s my middle name, Joy, in a soft blue on the back of a frying pan. It’s weird and I LOVE it.
Alie says
FAB ME! We have a dresser that we inherited from our landlords while we lived in Germany. They were just going to throw it away and we thought we’d give it a fresh coat of paint…we LOVE IT! It’s definitely a favorite.
Liana says
FAB ME!
All of our artwork is Firefly/Serenity-related. We love it. :-)
TeresaM says
FAB ME! I have a grey chevron owl pillow that my husband got me for our anniversary last year – I love it!
Bridget says
FAB ME!
We have a red checkered couch in our living room that I am slowly growing to tolerate (it was a used couch we bought, comfy but loud) but I plan on sewing my own couch slipcover soon.
Anke says
FAB ME
Hmm… I love the framed black and white photo booth strip my boyfriend and I made in Berlin.
Sarah says
FAB ME!
My brilliant (and I do mean brilliant!) purple velvet couch.
Jen D. says
FAB ME!
Sadly, our home is seriously lacking in the colorful and wonderful. :(
Emerald says
FAB ME!
I have terrariums all over my home…in the living room, in the bedroom, in the bathroom…everywhere!
Sommer says
FAB ME!
Jenn V. says
Fab me! Most of our house has a beach-cottagey feel to it, but right about our office desk in the main room is a black and white Dumb and Dumber poster of Lloyd and Harry on that little scooter. It was the one thing my husband couldn’t part with when we got married =)
June says
FAB ME! we have a metal bust of a man’s head with a clock in one eye and a thermometer in the other.
NT says
FAB ME!!! I love my son’s 3ft sock monkey that’s now become part of our living room decor. He will toddle over and give it a hug, then keep on trucking. Hug break!
Allison says
FAB ME!
I have a wooden cubebot that sits on our coffee table books. It’s so fun to play!
emma says
FAB ME!
I have some furry pillows that are funky but most importantly soft!
Marci says
FAB ME!!!!
I have several colorful, wooden toys for my son’s room that I just love looking at!
Laura M says
FAB ME! I have this great poster of the area I live in – it is outlines the towns in a “subway map” style. It’s bold and graphic and fun!
Kaitlyn says
FAB ME!!
I have a couple of really great art prints (from Fab actually!) that I absolutely love :)
Stephanie says
FAB ME!!!!
Michelle says
FAB ME: we have an orange & black cushioned rounded desk chair that love, it matches nothing and makes me happen
Vicki says
“FAB ME!” For colorful, we have an abstract painting I made in an art class hanging in our playroom. My husband DIYed the frame, and used it in his proposal to me – I came back from a trip and he had stenciled a lyric from our song on the back of the frame that he had made while I was gone. I looked up, our song was playing and he was on one knee with a ring. So, colorful and meaningful!
Oren K says
FAB ME!
I’d say an old manual typewriter :-)
Fay says
Fab Me!
Nothing quirky right now, but perhaps with $500 to Fab I could change that!
Kari says
FAB ME!
The weirdest thing I have in my home…besides my husband…is that green cow picture from Ikea. My mom hates it (with a passion) but it makes me so happy.
Jolie says
FAB ME! My house is incredibly boring and a gift certificate to FAB would be an awesome pick-me-up to my not so quirky home.
Caitlyn says
FAB ME!
I have a little unicorn statue that I found at Goodwill and sophisticated by spray painting it gold!
Megan E says
FAB ME!
I have a crazy colorful painting of African animals that I bought in Zanzibar. Too bad I learned when I got home that it had been painted on a cheap bedsheet rather than canvas!
Ambriss Rembulat says
FAB ME!
I have reindeer antlers I picked up at a garage sale and I spray painted them silver. I love the look and they totally stand out from the rest of my decor.
Anne says
FAB ME!
We have this pretty colourful, slightly ugly piggy bank that we keep in our dinning room. It is probably double the size of Burger. All spare change goes in it and hopefully that ugly, brightly coloured pig will pay for a nice vacation someday.
Megan says
FAB ME!
Thank you!
Maureen says
FAB ME!
Weird item in our house would be the porcelain/ceramic daisy tower that we got for our wedding, without a card or name on it. It’s been 2.5 years and no one has owned up yet. It’s hanging out in our guest bedroom in the hopes that someone will stay with us and break down.
J says
FAB ME!
I have a vintage, emerald green steamer trunk in my living room that doubles as a coffee table and extra storage. No conventional coffee tables here!
Carrie M. says
FAB ME! We are still in the earlier stages of decorating our house but we have recently been drawn to large coffee table books with “quirky” covers. Currently on the hunt for some splashes of color
Beth says
fab me!
When I was decorating for Christmas I hung a wooden sign on the wall over the toilet in the powder room that said “Welcome Santa”- in case he needed to make a pit stop.
Chelsea D says
Fab me! We don’t have anything super unique right now as we are slowly renovating and upgrading our OLD home.
Travis T. says
FAB ME! Quirkiest thing I have is an African hand drum made with the skin of a goat. I saw the goat a few days before walking around the village we were staying in. You may or may not want to share the details.
Dave says
“FAB ME!”
I have nothing cool and crazy……So i need this bad……I want one of those dog pillows….
Chelsea Jo says
Fab me! I have this old French vet poster that my grandmother gave me when I was around 8 (I wanted to be a vet) I’m not a vet but where ever I go, that sign comes with me. Currently it’s the 1st thing someone sees when they enter my room :)
Anna says
FAB ME!
I love fab. We have an extensive collection of band posters (usually limited edition prints) due to my husband’s live music obsession. It keeps our walls interesting. It could be worse!
Emily says
FAB ME!
I have a picture of clowns hanging in my kitchen. Many people are scared of clowns, but I always loved them and collected them as a kid.
Anna Boomer says
FAB ME! My favorite crazy items are all the pieces of Kansas related art we have since that is where me and the hubs are from.
Leah @ JustPluckingDaisies says
FAB ME! I’m really loving the mahogany chair with emerald green upholstery that we inherited from a grandmother. It is beautiful and old and new and fun all at the same time!
Cec says
FAB ME!
I have lots of quirky art at home. Often things I’ve painted or friends have painted.
One of my more recent quirky purchses was a pair of forks that were welded together and the tongs curled so that it resembles a pair of maniacal hands. That’s pretty weird, right?
Jen says
FAB ME!
I’m staring at three postcards I picked up after seeing a SUPER cool exhibit at a museum in Scottsdale several years ago and finally got around to framing. They’re photos of artist Nick Cave dancing around in different soundsuits. (Check them out…so weird but so so fun: https://www.google.com/search?q=nick+cave+soundsuits&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=lN0GUdC2NOTe2QXmxYDgAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CEYQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=638)
Lora says
FAB ME!! I don’t have anything bold in my house just yet, but I’d love that NJ wood cut out!!
Michelle T. says
FAB ME!
Megan says
Fab me!
I have a colored glass collection that’s too big for such a small condo!
Annalea says
FAB ME!
I love the crazy mic of bright towels through the house. There’s a rainbow in the bath (eight towels, all fun colors), and the kitchen sports bright dishtowels & hand knit dishcloths. ;o)
There should be somewhere to share photos for questions like this . . .
Sam Frank says
FAB ME!
I took a t-shirt that I no longer wore (with Arial from Disney’s Little Mermaid on it) and mounted it to canvas and hung it in my room.
