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.

    I have a Ganesha (Hindu elephant) that faces our door. It was actually given to us by our real estate agent after we bought our house. At first I wasn’t sure if it was our style but it has really grown on us and we love it now! It’s supposed to bring success and luck to your home I beleive, so pretty cool!

    FAB ME! My dad used to own a pharmacy and when he sold it he kept most of the antiques from when the pharmacy originally opened. When I graduated pharmacy school, my dad gave them all to me. People probably think it’s a little quirky, but I find them charming!

    Hmmm… I put up an indoor campsite for much needed stay-at-home date night with my husband and we like it so much, we don’t wanna take it down. The dining room table has been in the living room since this weekend and I think it will stay there another week because we keep hanging out in the tent. :)

    FAB ME! My favorite colorful piece is a large painting with a bright red background and the silhouette of a woman. I won it at a charity event and had NO clue what I was going to do with it but it ended up fitting into my house perfectly and I love it even though lots of ppl don’t.

    Fab Me! One of my favorite bright things in our house is an old step stool that I spray painted a very leafy green. We use it so often that it often ends up in corners of the dining room or under the phone table in the hallway – as bright as it is, it often appears to be a quirky, intentional addition to any room!
