***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…

Faith says
Fab me! Not much quirky going on here. But we do have a bunch of bike themed stuff to hang on the walls (hasn’t made it up there yet)
Sarah says
FAB ME!
Oh man, I’m obsessed with Fab. My favorite quirky items are a pillow I made from an embroidered dishtowel and a tiny framed figurine of a gnome. He’s gold, he’s grumpy, and he cost $3 at an estate sale.
Roxanne says
Fab me! I have a weird piece of fabric with a unicorn on it framed in my kitchen, I love it!
Kristin Ciszeski says
FAB ME!
Our “lounge room” is painted a rich deep teal on 2 walls and a happy grellow on the other 2 – It makes me smile to walk through that room each and every day!
Tracy says
FAB ME!
We have a funky watercolor of our house right by the front door. It was a gift from the sellers and we absolutely love it!
Sarah says
FAB ME!
I have some colorful prints from Studio Mela :)

Fab me!!
Jessica says
FAB ME!
My kids and I love the quirky solar flowers that move around in the sun light. My favorite is the hula dancer my son gave me for my birthday last year!
Emily McC says
Fab me! I have a colorful wall lizard and fish and hope to keep adding to the collection :)
Emily says
FAB ME! In my previous house, there were only four rooms total, so I decorated each one to represent the seasons. It was fun for a few years, but now its been redecorated to a more subdued pallete.
Mary says
FAB ME!
Right now I’m refinishing a dresser to become a TV console, I’ve painted the inside of the drawers turquoise. And I’m in love.
Lisa says
FAB ME!
I have this funky, armless, polka-dot chair in our living room. So comfy!
Christina says
FAB ME!
Birds! So many bird figurines…my husband thinks I’m going to become a crazy bird lady.
Melora says
Fab me! We don’t have too many quirky things… yet!! Would like to add though. We do have a painting of marbles in a jar.
Jennifer says
FAB ME! I have a small metal peacock a la Beyonce the chicken. He is currently living on a high bookcase but he gets around.
carla says
Fab Me. Weirdest/quirkiest things here are the furries – one cat with the personality of a dog (dog trapped in a cat’s body) and one cat with a recessive gene that makes his tail curl up. Other than that, as a 3rd generation thrifter, it’s pretty eclectic around here across the board.
Suzie says
FAB ME! I LOOOVE my bright coral ceiling in my office/guest room!
Kathleen says
FAB ME!
I have a 1950’s chrome pay phone (no booth) that I bought when I was 13 for $100 of my hard earned babysitting money (which was a ton of money). I used it as my primary telephone for years. I’m 45 now and I think it’s one item I’ve owned for the longest that I display in my house. I also have a set of 50 or so 1975 Match Box cars (with boxes!) that I never played with – just collected when I was around 8 years old. I however don’t have these displayed in my house. I’ve always been buying and collecting interesting things! I’m happiest while at a thrift store/flea market/antique store/garage sale/estate sale!
leslie says
FAB ME!
I love my brother’s art school pieces. He gave me three because he just didn’t want to keep them. He doesn’t think he’s good. He’s wrong. They’re amazing. I cry when I think about them for too long. In Fab related news, I love my Keith Haring tote bag. It is just the right mix of fun and culture.
Tabitha B says
FAB ME! I’m loving the homemade art that I made for my guest room!
Tony says
FAB ME! my 80s aztec print comforter
Kylie S says
FAB ME!
I have a ridiculous amount of framed gift cards from my friends and family hanging in my apartment. No gift card is safe. If it’s got spunk or is sentimental in any way, it’s going up on the walls! Free art is the best :)
Karen says
FAB ME!
I have a turquoise metal pheasant named Phred, who lives in a corner of my kitchen. Phred is bright and shiny and about 2 feet tall.
Julie says
FAB ME!
My kitchen table is painted bright blue & turquoise!
Jilly says
FAB ME!
I have a hippo that I found at HomeGoods. It’s black and weighs a ton (maybe it’s a sort of stone?) but it’s in a sleek, modern style. It lives on the TV console, practically blends in, but is sassy and waiting to be noticed.
Rhonda says
FAB ME! I’m in the process of settling into our new place, so most of my quirky things are still in boxes. But I do have a little metal bird that is on the living room end table that makes me happy.
kathryn h says
FAB ME! I have a bright yellow ampersand that is as old as all get out. The older it gets, the better it looks. It always makes me smile
Megan B says
FAB ME!
I have a poster from a mask shop in Venice and if you look at it closely enough, you find a woman who is, strangely enough, missing the top portion of her dress. I’d say only 10% of the people who glance at it notice that part of the picture!
Andie Trice says
FAB ME!
April B. says
FAB ME! I just ordered a huge tandem bike print to hang over the bed in my bedroom. As soon as I get it, that will be the coolest & quirkyest thing that I love most in my home!
Amy O says
FAB ME!
My husband works at a church in college ministry and we really love personalized art. So, we’ve got a bunch of really fun/quirky paintings done by various college students hanging on our walls. We love it- it reminds us of our students and it brings some color in to our apartment!
Cassie B says
FAB ME!!
I think my fiancee and I may have a few two many Michigan accessories around the house. But we just love America’s High Five!!
Stacey says
FAB ME! I love all our photos of places we’ve traveled.
Rachel says
FAB ME!
<3
I love my craigslist coffee table find that doubles as board game storage!!
Jackie says
FAB ME!!
Although it’s probably not considered weird or quirky anymore, given the map craze that’s swept the nation… I love my giant, colorful, world map where I keep track of travels with push pins :)
Jo says
FAB ME! It’s the custom Japanese wall hanging my mother-in-law quilted – it’s elegant, unique, and so beautiful.
Bonnie says
Fab Me!
One of many quirky items is a aqua-green ceramic quail with an ORB head and neck. I didn’t paint him, he came that way. Not everyone’s taste, but he makes me smile.
Rachel says
FAB ME!! i have a fun lime green director’s chair in my room!
Bibiana says
FAB ME! I made a giant green-blue-yellow watercolor painting of a cat with my kids that’s hanging in the powder room. It’s wild and crazy and unique!
Karen says
Fab Me!!!
maureen says
Fab Me!!!!! Does my Pug count??? I have heard so ugly he is cute more times than I can count but as far as i am concerned any sofa or chair he sits on looks instantly more fun!! Love him!!!!
Christina Scheper says
FAB ME! Our large colorful rooster in the kitchen. It’s my favorite. :)
jackie says
FAB ME!
While I share the white ceramic animal fetish, my favorite quirky thing in our house currently are the paintings I made for our living room and bedroom. Both are big – 3 paintings per room, each about 2′ wide by 3′ tall – and ombre. The set in the living room goes from light, leafy green to nearly black and is a big shot of color into our grey living room. The bedroom one is shades of grey (please note, I painted it long before the book existed) and is a peaceful thing to drift off to each night.
Thanks for hosting! Love all your DIY’s!
Joanna says
FAB ME!
My duvet cover! It’s so colorful and it makes me happy when I enter the room!
Natalie W says
Fab me…I too love ceramic animals, birds, an owl, a pig. So cute.
Nikole says
FAB ME!
My quirkiest decoration is a brass unicorn that sits on the hallway built-ins. LOVE him!
Star says
FAB ME!!!
Everything is fun and colorful in my space. But the most awesome color explosion is when Younghouselove.com is on my computer screen. LOL
Elena says
FAB ME!
I have a library-esque card catalog piece that my husband got me for Christmas and it’s my favorite thing in our home (aside from him and our kitties). Also, I have a white ceramic elephant on the fireplace that makes me sing. :)
