I was an early Fab customer and they did feature some unique and interesting gifts. The daily e-mails were also beautifully designed, to the point that Fab eventually sued or threatened to sue a different company who had ripped off the look and feel. But over time those Fab e-mails started featuring more and more tchotchkes and mass-produced junk, I guess in an effort to push more products. So when I read in the article that...
"Shellhammer has since started a new company, Bezar, that's almost an exact replica of what Fab used to be."
...I signed up for Bezar right away. Because Goldberg may lack business savvy, but no one denies that Shellhammer has excellent taste. And I need some wall art for my house.
EDIT: It was "Touch of Modern" who was sued by Fab for supposedly ripping off their design elements, but I don't know if the lawsuit was successful or not.

Touch of Modern appears to still be in existence.
