For early Santa shopping or just plain guaranteed smiles, I visit Fab.com – where innovation, style, playfulness, and discounts all come together in this popular flash sales site.

The holidays are approaching, and Santa likes to get an early start. In fact all year round when I see something that might make a great gift, I clip it to my “Gift Ideas” notebook in Evernote. I love finding just the right gift for the special people in my life.

I also love innovation, style, playfulness, and discounts! All these things come together in the flash sale site at Fab.com. Fab is relatively new, and I’ve been cruising the site since last spring.

Limited Time Sales

If you’re not familiar with this continuing trend, flash sales are limited-time sales, usually featuring designer or higher-end products at bargain prices. Zulily is best for babies, kids, and maternity. Ideali and Gilt are suited to fashionistas, and MyHabit (launched by Amazon.com) offers apparel for all and home products. Sales are considered “private”, but membership to any of these sites is free.

Smile – You’re Designed To

Fab is wonderfully different. Its mission is to make you smile. Who doesn’t like that?

The site offers great discounts on fun, modern, everyday design for your home, kids, pets, and more. I always do a quick price comparison over at Amazon, and for every single product – except books – Fab’s sale price plus shipping is still a better deal than Amazon’s regular price with free Amazon Prime shipping.

Check out some of the items I’ve nabbed on Fab in the slideshow above. They all make me smile 🙂
