Hey Fab Free! How’s your holiday season going? Christmas on SL is the best, and I am loving all the gifts and advent prizes so far! We are spoiled. Today I am hanging out with the reindeers and I am going to show you some wonderful freeand 1L gifts from various hunts around the grid so far. Come check out these awesome finds!
Cozy Sweater & Slippers
The first stop today is Ari Pari! What a great shop this is, and they have some wonderful Christmas hunt items out. Like all of their hunt items, this sweater comes with a colour change hud. I like the cute little white Christmas trees on it. It is only 1 L on the Candy Christmas Hunt 4.
Under the Snowflakes
These really cute and animated snowflakes are free on the Peace on Earth Hunt. This is the prize from EscalateD, one of my favourite hair stores. These are really cute and I love how they are animated. They rotate around your head. You can wear 1, 2 or 3 of them at a time.
Another hunt prize at EscalateD are these awesome winter horns. They are only 1 L on the Grumpy Santa Hunt 4. They can be changed to many colours and they are beautiful- much needed for any horns or fantasy lovers out there.
Finally, I wanted to mention something I stumbled upon a couple weeks ago which appears to still be going on. Magika‘s group is currently free to join. I grabbed their group gift hair, called “Plenty”, for only 1 Linden with the group tag on. I love this hairstyle. I also grabbed the other group gifts and some of the group-only sales that range from 50-85 L per hair.
Thanks for reading, Fab Free!

Hello Fab Free! This is absolutely my favorite time of year. This is when I can be as spooky as I want to, and no one seems to mind. That said, I think my level of excitement over the Halloween Shop & Hop events might have been the most excitement I’ve felt about an event all year. With several sims full of festive Halloween goodness and freebies, I can’t imagine not being excited. That said, I have several of the freeHalloween Shop & Hop event gifts to share with you. I sincerely hope you love them, I do.
As Aline mentioned in her recent post “The Magic Words” there are 8 total Halloween Shop & Hop sims. Most (if not all) of the participating shops have a free gift, with no group required. Some gifts will require you to pay 1 linden, however you will be instantly refunded. For this look I picked up the free gifts from Pink Cream Pie, #Adored, The Annex, On a Lark, and ChicChica. As usual you can keep reading for details about each free gift, or scroll to the end for full credits and links.
Pink Cream Pie
My thoroughly blood splattered top is the free Halloween Shop & Hop gift by Pink Cream Pie. This gift comes with a color change hud that has several solid colored tees all with generous amounts of blood splatter.
The free Halloween Shop & Hop gift by #Adored is the cutest little brow tattoo. It reads “Spooky” with the option of wearing it on the right or the left side, in cursive or bold lettering, each with the choice of bold or faded styles. This tattoo comes in tint-able BOM layers only, which gives the added option of having the tattoo in color.
The Annex
I particularly like this fun devil horns headband by The Annex because it glows like neon. It comes in several color choices, so you can wear this fun accessory with multiple outfits. They are also of course free at the Halloween Shop & Hop Event.
I think there’s a rule that says you can’t have Halloween without a black and red manicure. Okay, maybe not, but in my world these bento nails by On a Lark are a must this season. On a Lark has 2 darkly pretty manicure sets as free gifts at the Halloween Shop & Hop event. The ones I am wearing are part of the “Halloween” set that has 4 black and red variations in the set.
Finally, my creepy cocktail is part of the free Halloween Shop & Hop gift by ChicChica. The gift includes two fantastically macabre martinis. Also, each of the Halloween themed drinks has a bento hold pose. Have fun Fab Free!
Demons manifest through arcane ritual and hell fire. What is this? Has the world been flung into a darkness where horned devils step into the light? Well, perhaps nothing quite that malevolent, however there are a few days left of the Twisted Hunt where you can find a lot of what Blue and I are wearing, as well as some of the demonic décor Blue used to create this fiendish atmosphere for free. You just have to hunt them! The hunt ends on September 30th. I also picked up one of the group gifts at Pendulum to help accessorize my devilish appearance. Since there are several of the Twisted Hunt prizes included in this post, I added the vendor photos I could find below. To get more details about each of these finds, keep reading. Otherwise, feel free to scroll down for full credits. and thanks for being here!
The Twisted Hunt Gifts
Roped Passions
The hooded top and side-split skirt I have on is the free female gift on the Twisted Hunt at Roped Passions. This free gift comes in the following sizes: Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus), Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Maitreya Lara. Additional accessories are available on the Twisted Side Hunt, but are not shown in my photo.
Roped Passions – Twisted Hunt Endgame
Should you choose to complete the Twisted Hunt Endgame, you can score the shirt Blue has on for free from Roped Passions. This men’s shirt comes in the following sizes: Classic, Belleza Jake, Adin, Signature, Slink, Gamit, and Onupup.
Attitude is an Artform
The long sinister looking horns Blue has on are also free as part of the Twisted Side Hunt at Attitude is an Artform. Once you find them of course! These demonic horns come in 3 size variations.
Elemental
Blue’s facial tattoo is also free for the Twisted Hunt. You can hunt it down at Elemental. This free hunt gift comes in an applier for Lelutka, Catwa, and Genus heads.
Tone 2
Blue’s haunting eyes are Tone 2‘s free Twisted Hunt gift. They come as standard eyes, and as an Omega applier.
Sweet Revolutions
The free Twisted Hunt prize by Sweet Revolutions really has to be seen to be truly appreciated. This “Damned Conjure Circle” pose/prop is being used as awesome demonic background imagery in my photo, however it has 4 poses included.
Pendulum Group Gift
Last, but very far from least, I simply couldn’t resist this group gift at Pendulum. The gift includes the delicate almost snowflake-like face gems/tears I’m wearing along with optional side embellishments worn near the temple. These pretty gifts come in 3 metallic colors. The Pendulum/HCXII group has a one time join fee of 100 linden, and there are several group gifts available.
Hey There Fab Free’rs! I hope your weekend has been awesome so far. I’m being mostly held hostage by Real Life, but that’s okay. At least I get to share some fabulous freebies and cheapies with you! For this post I want to tell you about two of the handful of group gifts at Canimal. I also want to tell you about the Fifty Linden Friday item at Fancy Décor. I know what you’re thinking, it’s Saturday! Not to worry though, the Fancy Décor FLF item will be available through Sunday.
First up, this killer dress by Canimal. I say killer because, look at it with the awesome crocodile skin-like texture and the flair of the skirt. Not to mention it happens to be named the “Predator” dress. It’s not often that a dress makes me feel cute, and feisty! This group gift is free to all Canimal group members, and the Canimal group is free to join. Also, if black isn’t your color, the dress has a color change hud with several options. As for the size, I believe it is a Maitreya Lara fit only. It comes in a single unmarked mesh size.
Next up, a second group gift from Canimal. As I mentioned before, there are multiple group gifts at Canimal, and this sexy black lace bodysuit is one of them. I like that it’s both simple and beautiful without a lot of extra straps or frills. I believe this gift is for Maitreya body wearers only as it comes in a single mesh size. It is also free to Canimal group members. Also, I want to mention that along with the group gifts at Canimal, there are several Lucky Letter boards. You’ll find the group gifts and LL boards on the second floor of the Canimal store.
Finally, I mentioned a Fifty Linden Friday item from Fancy Décor. The PG version of the beautiful bed with white bedding and canopy posts shown in both of the above photos is the FLF item at Fancy Décor. This bed comes in either black or gold, both with white bedding. Only the PG version is 50 lindens through this Sunday. I’ve added a vendor photo below so you can get a better look.
Here are the details!

Hi There Fab Free’rs! I found some wickedly cute group gifts to share with you today. I had such fun dressing up, I hope you enjoy them too. Two of the group gifts I picked up are from a shop called Glutz. The third gift is from Slack Girl. Keep reading for all the info.
The Horns – First I want to tell you that there are tons of free group gifts out at Glutz. Some of them are for a furry body/head that I unfortunately know nothing about, but you might want to check that out! Also, the Glutz group is free to join. I picked up several of the group gifts myself. Among them are these cute ribbon wrapped horns. They include a color change hud that lets you pick from a few preset colors for the horns and the ribbon. They can also be easily resized to best suit your needs.
The Choker – Also at Glutz this cute necklace/choker is part of a gift set called Sovereign Scarlet gifts. The set is free to all Glutz group members, and as I mentioned above the Glutz group is free to join. It includes the necklace and a matching barrette which is not shown in the photo. I really like the little crystal details on this jewelry piece. There are no scripts in this item either, making it a low-lag accessory, and you can easily resize it using the edit menu.
The Manicure – Finally, I picked up one of many many group gifts out at Slack Girl. In fact, Slack Girl has an entire room of recent and past group gifts available. The Slack Girl group has a one time join fee of 150 linden. The gift I picked up is this pretty set of bento nails. They are an elongated coffin shape with several nude french tip color choices, and a black with white tips (shown), and a red color with white tips. I included a copy of the vendor ad below so you can get a better look at these beautiful nails. The set also comes with nails to fit each of the following hands: Maitreya, Slink, Vista, Eve, Belleza, Tonic, Tuty, and Altamura.
Here are the details, enjoy!

Hi There Fab Free’rs! I have a couple of things to share with you, and I am super excited about both so I am going to get right to it!
The Horns – I think it goes without saying these horns are stunning. S t u n n i n g. They also happen to be one of the most recent free group gifts at Sweet Thing. I couldn’t tell you the number of photos I took just watching how the light bounced off the detailed ridges of these awesome horns. Can you tell I love them?! This free group gift from Sweet Thing comes with a color change hud with 22 color choices for the main part of the horns, and the option to choose from the same 22 colors for the tips of the horns. The Sweet Thing group is also free to join.
The Tattoo – This detailed face and neck tattoo is a Marketplace dollarbie by Speakeasy. I actually came across this gem by accident on the Marketplace, and I have to say I’m super glad I did. It isn’t a new item, but I am not at all bothered by that. The tattoo is unisex and includes Omega appliers, a TMP applier, and a Signature applier. Each applier has 3 tone options. As you can see from the vendor photo below, there are tattoos around the right eye as well as the left. So if you’re super late to this party like I am, go get your Speakeasy Marketplace dollarbie right now! hahaha
Here are the details, enjoy!

Hello Fab Free’rs! Ignore the expression on Pru’s face, I’m happy you’re here! I initially thought the expression looked kinda cool with this sassy group gift dress from OOPS. After closer inspection, I think the expression paired with this pose and hair makes it look like Pru is really disgusted with her braid. Hahaha Oh well! Speaking of group gifts, these curved horns are a group gift from Psycho Barbie. Keep reading and I’ll give you all the info about these awesome group gifts.
The Horns – It’s never been a secret, I love horns. These horns come in classic black and can be resized via touch menu. One of the things I like about these group gift horns from Psycho Barbie is that they are individually placed. What I mean is, there’s a right horn and a left horn, they can be positioned and resized individually. To get yours head over to Psycho Barbie and join the in world group. there is a one time join fee of 50 lindens. You’ll find this gift on a shelf with several other previous group gifts.
The Dress – I like that this provocative dress is a little bit goth and a little bit punk rock. It is a recent group gift at OOPS. With this gift you’ll get the dress in 2 versions, one with a plaid skirt (shown), and a second one with a black skirt that has little white crosses. Both dresses say “Born Sinner” at the waist. They also come in several mesh sizes. The OOPS group has a one time join fee of just 10 linden and there is more than one group gift currently available. Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Slink (Hourglass, Physique), Tonic (Curvy, Fine)
Hellooo Fab Free’rs! Recently I’ve found myself inspired by a blast from my days as a role player. I’d almost forgotten how much fun it is to add some fantasy and perhaps even a little darkness into the looks I create. So today I have two new group gifts to share with you, one from Cureless, and one from Dirty Princess. This look also incorporates several previous group gifts, most of which are still available!
The Heart – I come baring a gift! Don’t worry, this heart isn’t mine. It’s a recent group gift at Cureless. This anatomical heart is a prop for the pose shown, and there is a second heart with this gift that has a similar hold pose. Also there is a color change hud so you can pick between 6 preset colors. Also, the moon bindi, and cat eyes are previous Cureless group gifts that are still available! The Cureless group is 50 linden to join.
The Lingerie – This pretty pink lingerie is a FREE group gift at Dirty Princess. In honor of Valentine’s Day they set out this cute little set. It really is very cute on! It comes in a single mesh size, and in the pink color shown only. The Dirty Princess group is FREE to join. Also, please keep in mind that the windlight setting I used for my photo (Fairy warm pinks Paulina) gives a pink hued light. So the lingerie is a slightly different shade of pink than shown. I really think you’ll love it, if you’re into pink!
One of the things I like the most about Second Life is the ability to change your appearance at will. Today I was feeling a little bit more sinister, a little more goth than usual. Thankfully I’ve come across a few items that let me show off that darker side without breaking the bank. Now I get to share them with you!
It all started with this fun little “in store” hunt going on at FormaNails. I say “in store” but really, all the hunt objects are hidden outside on the grounds surrounding the store. Before I get into the hunt prize, I want to tell you a little about the hunt its self. I really enjoyed this one. Outside the FormaNails main shop you’ll see a small display where you can get a FREE hud. This hud needs to be worn with permissions granted to complete the hunt. There are 10 hidden objects to be found throughout the grounds. The hud I mentioned keeps track of which items you have found and which ones you’re still hunting for. Cool, huh?! The objects themselves will teleport to a new location once they’ve been “found”. So you may come across the same object a second time. Once the hud shows you’ve found all 10 objects, you return to the display outside the main store and click inside the phone booth. Then the folder with the hunt prize will be delivered to you. I have to say, what made this hunt so fun is that the grounds are really whimsical and interesting to explore. There are lots of imaginative things to do and see, I even bungee jumped while hunting!
The FormaNailsFREE hunt gift is a set of bejeweled brass knuckles. The detailed set is unisex in that it includes a male and a female version, also both sets come in gold, and in silver. The female version is set with little rubies and pearls, while the male set has iron crosses and skulls. The knuckles are worn on one hand, and are able to be sized via touch menu. Though the knuckles did not appear to have been made to fit a specific set of hands, I was able to adjust them to suit my Maitreya Lara hands with some re-sizing and some manual re-positioning. After seeing the knuckles from FormaNails, knew I wanted to do something a little bit goth and perhaps playful, then I saw one of the gifts from a shop called This is Wrong and knew exactly the look I was going for.
This lace neck corset by This is Wrong is really beautiful on. It comes in 3 colors for the boning, black, green, and red, each with black lace. This FREE gift fit my Maitreya Lara body without any adjustments, which was a pleasant finding. The group for This is Wrong is FREE to join as well, making this lovely gift absolutely FREE. Wear your group tag and purchase the item for zero lindens. There are also several other cute group gifts to be had at This is Wrong, don’t miss out!
Next, just the right the finishing touch! Stix is participating in The Sinister Goth’s “Sinner’s Hunt Gluttony”. This is a FREE hunt, and there are no groups or huds needed. The FREE hunt prize Stix has out is this hauntingly beautiful eye makeup set. The gift includes 5 variations of this wild smoky eye. Each version has an Omega applier, and a matching classic system layer. I tried on all 5 versions, and they are a must have for any goth girl, even if you’re only goth part of the time like me!
