Can’t Shake These Voices In My Head

Can't Shake These Voices In My Head

Hello and Merry Christmas Eve Eve. Today I want to talk to you about something very important, Advent Calendars. Sure you might be thinking, “But Allison, it’s the eve of Christmas Eve, Advent Calendars are almost over, there’s really no reason to talk about them now.” Oh, but I disagree. The Advent Calendars that I have in mind are the ones that leave past gifts available. Why I’d argue that this is the perfect time to talk about them, because you can get a whole pile of advent gifts all in one go. I’ve got four calendars to discuss with you. There’s no time to lose!

One

The dress and panty hose that I’m wearing are today’s Advent gift from Glitzz. There is no group join needed to get the Advent gifts there and the current day is free. All of the past gifts are still available too, for only 25L each.

Sizes:

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Perky
  • Petite
  • Reborn
  • Waifus

Two

I can’t get enough of the Advent Calendar at Yasum. It’s full of so many great and diverse things from clothes to furniture and they’re all just so nice. Case in point, these chunky boots with the fur. It’s a fatpack with a HUD of colors and customization options, and sizes for Maitreya and Legacy. The calendar at Yasum is also free and there is also no group join required. Past gifts are still available and they are all free.

Three

My next stop is one that I look forward every year – the Advent Calendar at Wow Skins. A free skin a day from such a quality creator is pretty much a dream for me. The Advent does require a group join and it is 299L. With your group tag activated just click the calendar and select the day that you want delivered. All of the past days are still there and still free. These skins are great because it’s a BOM of the head skin and body skin all in one piece. I’m wearing Annie and, like all of the Advent gifts at Wow, you’ll get her in a multitude of skin tones, with versions for different bodies, brow options, and a shape. Everything you need all in one place, and all those past gifts to find your perfect one.

Four

And if you’re wondering why I appear to be dancing to the music in my head, that’s thanks to Sapa. Sapa is another Advent Calendar that I look forward to. I love animations and these are fantastic. At Sapa the Advent gifts are free, no group join is required, and all past gifts are still free. These animations are perfect if you want to build an AO or just if you like posing like I do. There are bouncing ones and dancey ones and some that just kind of bop around. Go try them for yourself!

 

Don’t mind that sound you hear, that’s just my inventory groaning. Happy Advent!

I Became A Princess Overnight

I Became A Princess OvernightI’ve recently found myself in a rather unfortunate situation, where I need a new favorite designer for gorgeous gowns. Naturally I’ve been eyeballing Sofia, because quite simply the gowns there are gorgeous. I’ve indulged in a weekly sale here and there and the quality is just fantastic. And then, things got even better…

A Calendar of Advent

…because Sofia has an Advent Calendar! I’ve been waiting not-so-patiently for it to start on the 5th, which was yesterday. Sofia‘s advent calendar runs from December 5th to the 25th. The gifts are free and only require a group join, which is also free. And the cherry on the top is that gifts from previous days appear to stay available and be free as well! Oh happy day. Yesterday’s still free blue gown is floor length and immaculate, but I’m wearing today’s free gift, formal and fun and flirty, all rolled up into one lovely lavender package. It includes a couple of pretty broaches which I’m not wearing and sizes for:

  • Ebody Reborn
  • Kalhene Erika
  • Kupra Original
  • Legacy Classic
  • Maitreya Lara

This is one to add to your Advent list! ❤

Come And Trim My Christmas Tree

Come And Trim My Christmas TreeTwo posts from me in one day?! I know, it’s crazy. It’s not typically ever my style, but well I’ve been pretty neglectful of you the last week, dear FabFree. Also, I want to talk about Advent! I so love Advent but as I’m sure you know, it’s quite time sensitive.

An Ode

Advent calendars in SL really blow me away. I mean, there’s no denying that creators are unendingly generous all year ’round, from hunts to group gifts to all of the other holidays, and far beyond. But the sheer quantity of designers that give us a quality free gift a day for almost an entire month is truly amazing. Just have a look at the FabFree Advent List and you’ll see what I mean. It’s almost too much to keep up with! Each year I make my list of must haves and I try to keep it short, but that’s so hard to do! Also they’re tricky to blog because, while a handful of creators allow you to collect past gifts and some more will let you purchase them at a discount, in most cases when they’re gone then they’re gone. So why am I blathering on? Want to see what I scored today?

Unwrap Me

I feel like a gift today but don’t worry, I won’t let it go to my head. I’m showing off two Advent gifts. Better yet, both gifts happen to be free with no group join required.

  • Glitzz has me tied with bows, in this sexy and free little get up that includes panties, as well it should. The color is aptly called tomato and the sizes included are Juicy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Perky, Petite, Pushup, Reborn, and Smash. When you get to Glitzz, walk outside and around the wall to the Christmas tree behind it. Under that tree are numbered teddy bears with presents. Just find the right number and it’s yours.
  • Yasum‘s free Advent gift today is the ornament that I’m holding, which includes the hand animation and those sweet sparkly particles emitting from it. Here you’ll need to head through the door marked Female and the Advent Calendar is in there, off to the left.

Both of these gifts are free in their respective stores today. Glitzz will let you buy previous gifts for only 25L and it appears that Yasum is one of those rare gems that’ll let you collect previous gifts at no cost. Generous, indeed.

On the 7th Day of Christmas

121922 - Advent Gifts at Next Door Designs - 02

Alrighty folks, today we are taking a look at a few of the gifts from Next Door Designs‘ advent calendar.  These are still available.  The group is required and FREE to join.  Then you right click the day you want, pay L$1 and get that L$1 back, so the gifts are FREE too!  Let’s start with the three outfits above:

  • The first one is the “Brynn Top & Skirt” in teal floral print.  This three piece set also includes panties.  It is from Day 15.  This set fits Belleza Freya/Isis/Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya and Slink Hourglass.
  • Next is the white sweater dress.  It is called what it is “Sweater Dress White” and is from Day 12.  This cute dress fits Belleza Freya/Isis/Venus, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink Hourglass/Physique.
  • The 3rd one above is “Jasmine Tropical Dress” from Day 1.   This set comes with the top, skirt and arm sleeves as separate pieces.  And it is fit for Belleza Freya/Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, & Slink Hourglass.

Now for some more formal/cocktail wear:

  • The gorgeous first dress is “Daphne Gown Gold” and is from Day 16.  This gown comes fit for Belleza Freya/Isis/Venus, Legacy & Legacy Perky, Maitreya, & Slink Hourglass/Physique.
  • The black sweater dress in the middle is “Eva Dress Black” from Day 17.  The opening on the side is actually flipped as I mirrored this image so that the overall layout looked better.  Eva is fit for Belleza Freya/Isis, eBody Reborn, Legacy, Maitreya and Slink Hourglass/Physique.
  • And from Day 5 we have the “Vicki Rose Pattern Top & Skirt Peach” which includes the glittery belt.  This set fits Belleza Freya, eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy + Perky, & Maitreya + Petite.

Visions of Advent Calendars Dancing in Your Head

Visions of Advent Calendars Dancing in Your Head

Oh, FabFree… how I have been enjoying Advent 2022 so far. The FabFree December Advent Listing has saved me yet again and I am loving the presents so far! I have dreams of advent calendars visiting me at night in my sleep instead of sugar plums…

The Advent Calendar @ Ari-Pari

Today,  I am showing one of the advent gifts from Ari-Pari. All of their past and current advent gifts are available from December 1st through to the New Year. You need to be a member of the Ari-Pari VIP group to participate in their advent calendar and a new gift will be put out each day until January 1st, 2023. It only costs 25L to be in the Ari-Pari VIP group, and new gifts are regularly released to group members. Ari-Pari recently reopened their new store and I was happy to visit one of my favourite stores again! ❤

The t-shirt I am wearing is the gift for Day #1 from Ari-Pari‘s advent calendar. The gift includes a HUD of 10 basic colours. Each version of the t-shirt includes a pretty white snowflake design on it. This shirt is delightful, even if it is a bit chilly for a tee. 😉

Sizes Included

  • Physique
  • Hourglass
  • Lara
  • Legacy
  • Reborn
  • Freya

Happy Advent season, FabFree!

120122 - On the First Day of Christmas - 01

And so it begins…

That’s right ladies and gentlemen…it is that time of year. Advent Calendars have opened up all over SL today and I am a total advent fanatic. Soooo I went hopping around the grid to see what sorts of amazing things I could find to show you. Are you excited for all the advent calendars this year? Don’t miss our awesome listing of participating stores!

Let’s start with these super fun thigh-high red boots. These are the 1st Day gift from Pink Mango. You must be in the group to get items at this store, but it is FREE to join and the gifts are FREE too! These lovely boots are fit for the following bodies:

  • Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
  • Slink Hourglass & Physique
  • Maitreya

See that beautiful lit tree in a tin milk can sitting in the corner? That is the gift from Hutspot for Day 1. It is also FREE and no group is needed to get this gift! For you prim conscious folks, it’s only 3 Li!

120122 - On the First Day of Christmas - 02

Let’s talk about this cute little romper. This is the Day 1 gift from Meva. Their advent calendar requires the store group and it is 100L to join. The romper is fit for:

  • Legacy + Perky
  • Maitreya + Petite

Next up are these long red nails. They are from Frick-n-Frack and are FREE with no group needed. They are fit for several bodies which include:

  • Belleza
  • BBL
  • Kupra

This lovely jewelry set, which includes the earrings and necklace, are the gift from M&M Style. They are unrigged and the necklace is resizable. The set is FREE and no group is needed for the advent calendar here either.

Finally I want to mention the house I was doing these photos in. This gorgeous little cabin is part of the advent calendar at MadPea this year. The gifts themselves are FREE but the HUD to get them is 500L. Honestly, I think this gift alone is worth that amount! I cannot wait to see what the other 23 gifts are!

Until next time!

Hooked

ig quality 2

My coverage of some of my favourite advent calendars rages on, FabFree, and the clock is ticking for me to wrap up these advent posts! Today I am showing some past prizes from [WellMade]‘s advent calendar.

Hooked on Advent

I discovered Advent about three years ago for the first time through [WellMade]‘s advent calendar, and I have always been so impressed by the quality of their advent gifts. In fact, their calendar was one of the first things that got me hooked on freebies. At the time I remember thinking, “Wow, these products really are amazing and free too!” They never disappoint and it is a treat to collect [WellMade]‘s prizes every year!

The Advent Calendar @ [WellMade]

Everyday you can get a new prize at [WellMade] for free on their advent calendar, and you need to join the free group to get in on the gifts. Of course, there are only a few days left of advent until December 24th. They may even have a special gift available on Christmas day like last year ( I am just speculating…).

The calendar this year is simply gorgeous, so you should take a look and see what’s available for sale at low prices in case you missed any past days. The past day’s prizes are on sale from 10L-25L per piece.

I am showing two past prizes which are currently on sale for 20 Linden each:

  • The velvet pants are the gift from day # 12. These come in green and red options and they are sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Kupra, Legacy, Hourglass and Physique.
  • The top and vest are the gift for day # 14. This item is sized for Freya, Isis, Kupra, Legacy, Lara, Petite & Hourglass. You can change both the vest and the top to green or red patterns.

Well, I think this will be my last advent post this season! Make sure that you check out the awesome list Aline compiled for us! You can access it by clicking the widget on the right-hand side of the FabFree blog homepage. There are a good amount of calendars that are also giving out past days gifts so go through the list and see if another prizes are still available! In my experience some designers may open up their past gifts for free on December 24th. You can access the FabFree advent listing here.

Happy adventing, FabFree! Have fun!
