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.

    Fab me! I have a lamp with a weird Egyptian guy painted on the side. I got it at a estate sale intending to paint it because it was large and had a great shape, but several people have commented on how much they liked it! Haha

    My daughter made the most gorgeous picture of poppies out of tissue paper (she is in second grade). We decided we loved it so much, we framed it and put it in our living room. It is so bright and fun and a nice way to boost her confidence as well. :)

    I’ve got a framed tribal animal-man embroidered with yarn on burlap. Found him at Goodwill. I wanna say, “D) All of the above!” He’s for sure weird, quirky AND quite colorful. He hangs out above my toilet and probably weirds out my vistors… but I like’m!

    I have an authentic metal sign from the Sixties that reads, “Hippies Use Backdoor,” It is displayed on a floating shelf visible when you open the front door.

    After I put it up, one of my friends opened the door and immediately turned around and started to walk off the porch. After inquiring, he stated that he was headed to the backdoor. LOVE!

    Fab Me! My living room is a wonderful mix of fabrics in florals, stripes and dots in happy yellows, oranges, teals, and raspberries. I also have an original abstract painting, picked up for $3 at a yard sale, that my adult children refer to as “the elephant poop”. I don’t see it.

    I have a large “5” sign, probably from on old gas station. It sets on my hall table. It’s a bit rusty and totally cool. On the back is a “6” that I can flip to a “9” if I’m feeling like walking on the wild side. :)
