How Lovely Are Thy Branches

It’s been a busy day, FabFree – but I have some items I really want to show off today, so let’s get into it!

Peace on Earth

It’s time for the Peace on Earth Hunt!  I’m so glad this free hunt is still around after so many years – It was definitely one of the first hunts I ever took part in, way back in my early days in SL.  The prize I hunted for (hidden in a little planet earth) is this fun dress from C!L (it also comes with a little top hat!).  It’s just close enough to wearing a Christmas Tree without actually doing so.  Best of all, it’s completely free!  You can find all the info and hints on the Peace on Earth Hunt right HERE.

It’s Second Nature!

Another fabulous piece of news is that Second Nature Jewellery is currently FREE to join.  You have have have to see all the amazing and beautiful jewelry that Alessia makes.  Also, the Advent calendar has started (it’s outside the store – to the right of the front doors), and you really can’t miss out on these amazing gifts.  I’m wearing the Ayashe set which is a beautiful creation in red Jasper – the earrings and necklace will be the prize on day 5.  Head over now, you don’t want to miss this!

Are you enjoying this holiday haul?  I sure am!

Still Running

I’m still in my running around the grid mode. I get a LOT of notices about events, hunts, and gifts. This run started with a store hunt prize and quickly evolved into other items I’ve gotten at events and advent calendars. Once I started putting the look together I couldn’t resist adding a few of those.

The Hunt

The HoHo hunt is happening at InStyle. You’re looking for little Christmas socks/stockings that are scattered around the store. Each piece is $25L. The HoHo dress has four parts: hat, dress, stockings with panties, and boots. It comes in this lovely blue shade. I wore it the other night while hosting in SL and got a number of compliments.

Here is the hunt key for InStyle. You have until December 20th to complete the hunt.

Head On Over to the Shop & Hop

My brain has been singing that to the tune of “Down at the Twist and Shout”. We still have time to get through all of the sims for the Holiday Shop & Hop. You will find all manner of wonderful gifts there. One of those is a lovely skin gift by Alaska Metro you can pick up for free. The Angel skin comes in three packages to pick up with light, medium, and dark skin tones. Most are BOM and worked perfectly on my LaraX body & Lelutka Evox head. (P.S. I am still awaiting the delivery of the newest Lelutka gift.) You can find out all you need to know in Aline’s post. And don’t forget about the massive spreadsheet on our blog page with all the gifts at the Holiday Shop & Hop.

Love My Groups

Don’t ya love the advent calendars this time of year? It’s a chance to refresh your look and receive interesting gifts. I’m highlighting a couple of my groups again. Synnergy has their Advent Calendar out with a new free gift every day. All of the previous days’ gifts are also available. Two of the latest gifts I got are the Synergy Tavis Pose set #53 and the Saanichton Tree Farm {360} Backdrop. The Synnergy group is free to join.

The Advent calendar at Tutti Belli brought me the free Advent nails gift #2 and the lipstick advent calendar (evox) gift 08. You’ll find all past days’ gifts are still available. You will need to join the group at a cost of $99L.

One Last Trip to Make Today

The 7th Christmas Wonderland event is open until December 26th. On my jaunt through the event I picked up a pretty set of eye shadows by Moon Avenue. Isis is a set of eight pretty BOM shades for EvoX heads. And they are free.

Whew! I’m beat after all that.

Santa Baby

The December round at Anthem is one of the things I look forward to every year. There are two huge Christmas trees on either side of you when you land, and underneath of each is a mountain of gifts! This year each thing that I clicked on cost 25-50L. There are no demos but pretty much each gift has a picture on top of what’s inside, and what’s a Christmas gift without a bit of a surprise? Besides they’re from all of the great creators at Anthem so there’s not really much to worry about.

My Gifts

I hand curated my look to include a little black dress, cute festive necklace, and amazing creepy little finger puppets. I couldn’t really have asked for much more. The items that I’m showing from under the tree at Anthem are:

• 50L dress by Arltos, sized for Legacy and Reborn
• 50L necklace from Space Cadet
• 25L finger puppet from Dark Agony

There is no group join required and this round of Anthem runs until December 30th.

Bundled Up (ish)

I cannot resist a macaron in either Second Life or Real Life…. This is the absolute truth.

Bundle Up

I’ve been told many times that I am wearing too little clothing for winter sims (I care not a lick), but today’s outfit will have those who fear for the health of my avatar silent.  I’ve got a jacket!  I’ve got boots!  The bow keeps a section of my head warm!  My goodness, what is the world coming to?  Anyway, you can grab this pretty, festive and wintry outfit over at Hilly Haalan – it’s their latest group gift, and it is super cute.  To get it, join the group for 25L and click on the board which is right by the landing point.

As Mentioned…

I really love macarons.  They’re so pretty and so delicate and delicious (I always love the original ones by Laduree – they also come in such pretty boxes!).  When I see them in SL, I always grab them, doesn’t matter how many are in my inventory already.  You can imagine my delight when I saw this month’s free group gift at Equal10 – a delightful handheld set from Movement (see the ad below) which includes this little Santa-inspired macaron.  Join the group for free, click on the vendor (it looks like a video game) and all yours.  This round of Equal10 is running until January 5th!

Hope you’re keeping warm too,

Big Energy

I laughed so hard when I opened this gift, I just HAD to blog it for you, don’t you agree? 😉   The Holiday Shop & Hop is full of all kinds of fun, free gifts for us all.  You all know we do the Shop & Hop spreadsheet to help you navigate, but make sure you’re really reading through those unisex gifts, because if you’re only hitting the stores labeled ‘Male Only’ you are missing out!

• Free Tank/Undies by L+B Swear (rigged for Jake, Legacy/Athletic, Gianni)
• Free Winter hat by Elsinore (unisex, rigged and unrigged in 3 color combos)
• Free Xmas lights by Oakleaf Hair (unisex)
• Free Chest Tattoo by Boscato (unisex BOM in 3 transparencies)

It took me a while to find the time to Shop & Hop, but don’t put if off, there’s far too many fun things for you to get this round!  It will be open until January 4, and no group is required to pick up the gifts.

 

Peace Out
