Twice-weekly green giveaways.
Do your lovingly handmade crafts look like they were made with your feet? Regretsy: Where DIY Meets WTF should provide some comic relief and consolation from like-minded incompetent DIYers.
The book version of the popular Etsy-inspired website showcases hilarious, fugly handmade items — many with upcycled materials! — with scathing commentary. Here are a collection of upcycled handicrafts that’ll make you wish for landfills!
Read my review of Regretsy, then comment by Thurs, July 22 to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Fri., July 23 (more info on freebies here). U.S. addresses only.

Oh my goodness. Regretsy is such a hilarious site. Their hearts are in the right place, but WOW.

I would love to add the Regretsy book to my collection of weird coffee table readers! I’m already a fan on Facebook, which I love because I don’t miss a single Regretsy WTF post :-)
