***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 own some cute, quirky owl products.
Betsy says
FAB ME! We have a giant seed pod/leaf that my husband’s grandparents found in Florida. It’s awesome as a giant decorative dish or just standing in a corner.
Anne says
FAB ME!
I have a very quirky – maybe bordering on ugly, quilt I made myself. I still love it!
Sarah says
fab me! I’d love a giant piece of artwork to cover one of our awkward-space walls.
Andrea Masterson says
FAB ME!
Erin says
FAB ME! I love all of my bold, funky quilts that have been passed down to me from my grandmothers.
Nicky says
FAB ME!
I have a ridiculous ornate candy dish (?) with two angels in off-white ceramic that jumped into my hands at a yard sale too many years ago to count – and I still love it.
Jenny says
FAB ME!
I’d have to say its the incredibly large wood box we built out of 2″x4″ and plywood. The thing is 3’x’3’x3′, but it means we don’t have to refill the woodbox more than once a month and I love the blend of practical purpose with awesome texture it brings to an otherwise basic living room.
Leah says
FAB ME! A map from my grandparents’ house with pins in all the places my dad’s family visited while he was growing up!
Rebecca says
FAB ME!
We have a couple of homemade art pieces – a couple made with paint chips, and a photo turned into a canvas tryptech -so nothing overly funky, but would love to add more!
Emily says
FAB ME!
I love my colorful flower painting my boyfriend had painted for me by one of his friends. And after it hanging just as a canvas for 2 years I finally got it framed for xmas this year! It is awesome!
Anna says
Fab me!
I love the wallpaper I put up in our bedroom behind our bed that adds a little something extra to our room.
Becky says
FAB ME!!
We have a little faux bluebird perched in our faux ficus tree in our living room. His name is Ferdinand. :)
Trilby says
FAB ME! I love love love a neutral room, but I got bold and accessorized our bathroom with some fun bright colors (red, green, blue, yellow) that are in a beautiful print from Alaska that we received for our wedding. Because that room makes me smile each time I enter, when we move into our next house, I plan to incorporate more color into each room!
Laurel says
FAB ME!
I swoon over the mixed-media painting that I made of Seattle – my favorite city in the U.S.
Natasha M says
FAB ME! My collection of state tablecloths from the 40’s and 50’s that is displayed in the family room.
Casey says
FAB ME!
I love my colorful wooden rooster my sister-in-law brought me from Mexico.
Emily McClure says
FAB ME! My favorite thing in my house right now (it changes weekly) is a new piece of art my mom me over christmas that depicts how awesome my golden retriever is :)
Jessica G says
FAB ME!!!!!
We have a big glass head that I got at Pier 1 a few years ago. I love it. Everyone else thinks it’s creepy & weird. I love-love-love him. Sometimes enough to give him a Santa hat. I bet I could find him friends from fab. :)
JenB says
FAB ME!
I have a small, small (4X6, maybe) collage of Verona, Italy made by a co-worker. It’s a collage and watercolor piece. I love that it’s an original piece of art and that I know the artist!
April says
FAB ME!!!
I have a small and colorful paper mache bowl from Cancun I just love. I love color but get nervous in decorating it in BIG ways!
Anya says
FAB ME!
A few years ago when my brother was broke, he used the cardboard “frames” from cardboard game pieces and an old calendar to make 3 fun quirky art pieces for his Christmas present to me. I still have them in my apartment, hanging in random places, like the bathroom.. They remind me of the value of simple hand-made gifts over fancy expensive things! And they make me smile and think of my brother (who lives in South Korea) when I see them!
This is fun!! I love quirky things :) I think almost everything in my apt is quirky..
Natalie R. says
FAB ME!!
Some would consider my whole house quirky…why have some ordinary when you can have something extraordinary :)
Laura L. says
FAB ME!
Quirky- I have an obsession with dilapidated churches. Photographs and paintings, the more run down.. The better. No idea why, I just find them romantic and intriguing.
Karen says
FAB ME!
We have a blue/green glass owl vase that seems totally cool/normal to me. My mom and sister gave me the stink eye when I bought it thinking it was weird…that was a year or so ago and now owls are EVERYWHERE. My mom even called me once to say “So, sorry for thinking that was weird…guess you were ahead of the trend!” :)
Shay says
FAB ME! Pretty please!
I have an antique orange leather dome topped chair in my office. It has a fun history and I was lucky enough to inherit it.
Amber says
FAB ME
I would have to say that brass animals are quickly becoming a quirky obsession of mine, thanks to some amazing hand me downs from my grandmother. Brass cranes that belonged to my great grandmothers? YES PLEASE!
Jen says
Fab Me!
I love the quirky throw pillows in my living room :)
Liz Dunning says
FAB ME!
My husband is a comicbook junkie, so we have lots of campy Superman references all over the house…
Allison M says
FAB ME!
A brightly colored accent door for the kitchen pantry!
Lauren says
FAB ME!
I love all my different animal accents throughout my studio including but not limited to a squirrel salt cellar, self-painted elephant canvas, and yellow pig bowl in which I store my garlic.
Khadijah says
FAB ME!
We have a cow plushie in our kitchen…just chilling there…
caroline says
FAB ME!
I don’t think we have anything too odd… we do have an old oar I placed above an entry way and I get comments all the time like ‘do you have a boat?’ I guess it would help if we lived by the ocean but I just love it so!
Megan says
Fab me! I have a lot of human anatomy books in my house :)
Rachel says
FAB ME!
I love my boyfriend and I’s record collection. It’s not too quirky but I think having over 500 records in a 20-something household is pretty unique :)
Candace says
Fab Me!
I have some colorful ceramic creatures, a teal picture frame (leftover from wedding photo booth), and an amber “spaghetti” sphere pendant. Though, maybe the weirdest thing is a wooden jaguar head carving/mask from the Mayan Penninsula.
Rebecca Nepomnaschy says
FAB ME!
Merabella says
FAB ME!
We have these great funky gold wood grain pillows in our living room – which I love, and a bulldog book end that is spray painted with a texturized copper paint – I love quirky stuff.
Rebecca says
FAB ME!
I don’t have anything quirky in my house! I need to get something.
Lisa says
FAB ME!!!!
My quirky home item is a vintage low seated swivel chair that I got from my grandpa’s, it is an awful brown tweed, but it brings back so many memories swiveling around and around. . . that I cannot part with it and my daughter has already claimed it for her future home (she is 12).
Shay says
FAB me!
I love Fab. I think my best purchase from them was Thomas Paul stockings for Christmas last year. Everything in my house is very colorful and they fit right in.
Val says
FAB me!
I have a pair of red velvet armchairs that we lovingly refer to as “The Texas Whorehouse Chairs.” I constantly flip-flop back and forth on reupholstering them. They are seriously tacky, but in such an endearing, Dolly Parton kind of way.
Amanda K says
FAB ME!
We have a huge portrait of a flower done in crayon by a Brazilian artist hanging in our guest room.
Allie says
FAB ME!
Hmm…I have an oil painting that I picked up at a vintage shop. It’s a handful of dogs and cats with the proportions all wrong and it’s probably very ugly, but there’s something about it that I love.
Rebecca says
FAB ME! I’m not sure if this is weird or quirky, but I love mercury glass, so you’ll find it all over my house! I cannot get enough!
Catherine M says
FAB ME!
We just moved into our first house and I went bold with the kitchen cabinets – Benjamin Moore’s Newburg Green. Got the courage to try painting the cabinets from your posts about the experience :-)
megan says
fab me!
we have an orange accent wall in our otherwise gray kitchen. we recently put up black shelves with white brackets on the orange wall. I’ve been having fun styling them. I think I change the stuff up every day.
Amy says
FAB ME! The quirkiest part of our house is the collection of llamas. I have stuffed animal llamas, a marionette llama, llamas made of actual llama/alpaca wool, and a llama topped business card holder.
Angela says
FAB ME!
I am also guilty of owning a ceramic animal. I have a goat head hanging above my faux fireplace. People always think its weird but I love it!
Chrissy says
Fab Me! I have 4 canvases (2 on our gallery wall and 2 in the kitchen) that our 2 kids repaint when the mood strikes. It’s a rotating gallery of fun colors every time!
