FabFree’s Ultimate Guide to The Valentine Shop & Hop!

Roll up, roll up!  Another Shop & Hop is here to fill us all with glee!  With 14 regions of amazing shops to explore, and each one containing a free gift, you know it’s going to be a great time.  Your fave team of INSANELY ORGANIZED people have banded together yet again to create a spreadsheet with all the info you need, including pics of the gifts, descriptions, locations and all sorts of ways to sort the goods.

Please thank the mastermind Porta (bondagegirl.porta) who has become a master at making these documents, and also the intrepid and unflappable Beachy Piers who swooped in as support.   Is it just me or do they get faster at these every time?  I mean, come on!

Today is EARLY ACCESS – to get in, wear your SLB group tag (just copy paste the following code into chat to join) secondlife:///app/group/8db35111-979b-14a7-6a74-b47be86ce04f/about

General access opens on February 1st, and runs until the 19th.

We’re looking forward to covering all the awesomeness here on FabFree!

If you care to show your appreciation to our team – visit the FabFree Info Hub where you can donate to both our spreadsheet mavens, and also to our bloggers.   FabFree is run purely on good vibes and caffeine, so we appreciate all of your donations very much.

Alright, without further ado……

The FabFree December 2023 Advent Listing is LIVE!

Good evening Fab Fam!  The day you have been waiting for is almost here as December 1st is just a couple hours away!

For over a decade, Fabulously Free in SL has been posting a December Advent Listing and we pride ourselves in keeping this list up to date on a daily basis throughout the month!  The tradition continues this year with the 130+ stops  (Just to start with!!).  This list will be edited over the duration of December with small changes like link updates and store additions, but it is currently “mostly” complete so you’ll be ready with your list in hand to start your first day of Advent rounds tomorrow on December 1st!

Visit Every Day!

We have our list separated into four categories and itemized it in alphabetical order for ease of use.  As mentioned above, there are updates to this listing nearly daily so it’s best just to keep visiting the page rather than copy and pasting this list into a notecard.  You’ll want the most up to date listing so you can get in on all those sweet advent locations right? 😀

And Hey…

If you find an advent location not currently listed on our site, please notecard ALINE PASSIFLORA inworld and I’ll have it added as soon as I can!

The 2023 FabFree Advent Listing is HEEEERE

New Blogger Alert: Beachy Piers!

Hey Fabbies!

I’ve got some exciting news – I’ve finally coerced err…I mean convinced the very lovely Beachy Piers to join the blogging team!  She brings a wealth of knowledge of what’s going on around the grid, and a really deep sense of caring for our lovely FabFree community.  Recently, she powered through building our FabFree Guide to Shop & Hop with our other lovely volunteers, and you can always find her in chat helping out with her cheerful attitude.  I’m sure she’s going to be an awesome addition to the blogger group, and I know you’ll all join me in giving her a hearty welcome.
