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 think something quirky about our house is that it probably looks like some sort of garden, forest, or something along those lines to those that first walk in. We have so many plants and a lot of 7ft-8ft plants….everywhere! When my husband and I moved in together we both had way too many, but you cant throw them out they are living!!! LOL

    I have some weird looking super old statues of a little boy and girl. They Re kind f ugly and they are chipped, and the boy’s head fell off when my daughter threw her shoe at it. They belonged to my grandma though. When she got old and had Alzheimer’s she put makeup and nail polish on them. Haha! I love them.

    The most quirky thing in our house at the moment is probably the giant ceramic sea shell Sherry & John autographed for me! It might look right at home in a beach house or something, but in my home, it really stands out and has become a conversation piece! Lol! :)

    Also, my 4 faux lamb skin rugs from Ikea. I swear they’re breeding like bunnies ;)

    FAB ME! I am actually already obsessed with Fab.com and have a few things from them in my apartment. The weirdest decor in my apartment is a plastic mouse (Gus-Gus) from Cinderella that my friend sent me while I was having a mouse infestation a few years ago. He is displayed prominently on a bookshelf.

    We have a collage print of my husband’s grandmas old love letter envelopes. While grandpa was in the armed services, she wrote him lots of letters and drew fun Disney-inspired cartoons on the fronts of the envelopes! Everyone loves looking at the details and the old stamps.
