Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Free Gifts from the FaMESHed December Round!

It’s Christmas time, and many of the vendors participating in the December round of the monthly FaMESHed shopping event have Christmas gifts for you! You do need to join the FaMESHed Update Group for free to pick up all these gifts.

Here’s a look at some of the fabulous fashion freebies for female avatars. This avatar is wearing three gifts together as one outfit:

  • the sweater is the gift from COCO Designs;
  • the skirt is the gift from Safira; and
  • the boots are by L&B SWEAR.

The detail on the boots are a little hard to see in the first picture, so here’s a closeup! These winter boots are by Lapointe & Bastchild SWEAR, and they come in Frost blue, Pine green, and Merry red, in sizes to fit most brands of female mesh feet. Truly beautiful craftsmanship by Lapointe & Bastchild!

The skirt from Safira comes in two versions, either with or without a large bow at the rear, along with a HUD to change the colour of the stripe on the red skirt and the included panties to one of 23 different colours (or, if you wish, to remove the panties entirely, but Auntie Ryan is not going to show you that! 😉 …it would shock the children!).

Here my avatar is wearing the SWEAR boots in Frost blue, with the same Safira skirt as above, plus the Christmas hoodie from Giz Seorn. She’s all set for a romp in the snow (well, okay, maybe if she swaps out that miniskirt for some snowpants!):

Next up we have this Unicorn pink bodysuit by Tori Toricelli:

The gif from Scandalize is the Lizzi dress with a separate belt, which comes in a fatpack of colours!

You can also pick up some nice shoes. The Mozambique heels from Essenz come in a three-colour HUD, plus the ability to change both the colour of the sole and the metal on the cheeky little safety pin!

From Gos Shoes, there are these lovely red sandals:

And there is a metric TON of jewelry at the December round of the FaMESHed event! Here are just a few examples. First up is the lovely ornate, antique Princess necklace from Junbug, with a delicate golden chain and a light blue gemstone. Isn’t it gorgeous? I will definitely be wearing this with a light blue ballgown at my next swanky soirée!

Kunglers offers the following Doriana necklace in two versions: gold pearl (as shown below), and silver teal:

The FaMESHed gift from Glitzz is the elegant gold Amira necklace, which comes with a HUD to change the colours of the gemstones:

Next up we have the Tressa necklace and earrings from Cae, which come with a HUD to allow you to select one of six different metals, and fifteen different gemstones!

The gift from EarthStones is the lovely Devorah necklace and earrings in bloodstone:

Finally, from Supernatural we have this chic, versatile choker, which comes in either white or black, in gold or silver, and with two HUDs to change the two sets of gemstones to 35 different colours, to match any outfit!

You can also find a few menswear and home decor gifts. This charming milk can, decorated with Christmas holly and branches with red berries, is the gift from Trompe L’Oeil, and the sweater this male avatar is wearing is the gift from ELEMEN’S (it comes in blue as shown or in red, in sizes to fit the Belleza Jake and Signature Gianni male mesh bodies).

Happy freebie shopping! This round of the FaMESHed shopping event runs from December 1st to December 27th , 2020, so you’ve got plenty of time to swoop down and vacuum up all the fabulous Christmas freebies! Here’s your taxi!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: FaMESHed Eighth Anniversary Round Gifts

One of Ryan’s top tips for freebie shopping is:

Check out the yearly anniversaries of regular shopping events; quite often there will be freebies at all or most of the participating vendor booths. For example, both FaMESHed and the eBENTO event have their anniversaries in May, and the popular Uber event celebrates its anniversary every July with many freebies.

Well, it just so happened that the hard-working people who run the FaMESHed event just sent around the following announcement:

Happy Birthday to FaMESHed!

We started in a tent, and here we are 8 years later… We have a special setup for this round.

SPOTLIGHTS BY: Di’Cor | Lapointe & BastChild | {le fil cassé} | Rise Design

Please note: This is a bigger round than usual, so please try to make sure you are not overloaded on scripts, and think of others around you. There is a lot of gifts this round.

Open: NOW until May 27th, 2020, at 11.59 p.m. SLT/’Pacific Time
Main Venue
Cam Shopping Sim
Update Group Sim

You do have to join the FaMESHed Update Group for free to pick up all the gifts, one gift box at most of the vendor displays. The first few days of FaMESHed are always busy, and it is even more so on their anniversary events every May! In fact, the event is currently so jam-packed with fashionistas on its opening weekend, that I had to use a tool like the handy free Teleport Hammer —and I was already a Premium member with priority access to crowded sims! It’s a sign of just how massively popular the FaMESHed event has become over eight years. If you want a preview of items available for sale at the event, you can check them all out here.

Through dint of sheer persistence, Vanity finally forced her way into one of the cam shopping sims located next door to the venue, and she expertly worked her camera around and scooped up all the gift boxes! (Here’s my handy guide to cam shopping if you are new to this useful skill.) Then Vanity teleported home and unpacked everything to try it all on.

This is your preview of the many lovely gifts available from the participating stores at this eighth anniversary round of FaMESHed!

Scandalize

The Scandalize Joanna dress (which sort of reminds me of Daisy Mae from Dogpatch in the old Li’l Abner comic strip) comes with a truly dizzying array of HUDS, to change the colour and pattern of every single part of this dress and its belt!

{le fil cassé} — Garbaggio

Here is the summery Francine dress in seafoam by le fils cassé, paired with the Cheryl sandals in mint by Garbaggio, one of my favourite shoe stores on the grid!

GIZ SEORN — Valentina E.

This daring duo consists of the Demi dress in green by Valentina E., paired with a group gift of some laced-up sandals, courtesy of GIZ SEORN:

Vanilla Bae —MICHAN — Essenz

This Yves dress by Vanilla Bae comes in three ombre tones: green, blue, and red. The green tone matches the Mesa shoe in green, another quality footwear creation by Essenz. The delicate Amy winged heart choker from MICHAN completes the look.

[Provocation] — Pixicat — Mangula

This last look is a bit of a hodge-podge, I must admit: the Tony cardigan and top by Pixicat, paired with the Kiara shorts in deep pink by [Provocation], and the Lucia boots and socks fatpack by Mangula. I have included the HUD for the Mangula gift so you can see all the colour options for various parts of the boots and the socks!

You’re all set to go on a fashionable hike! (Maybe swap out the Kiara shorts for some lederhosen?)

These are just a very small sampling of the dozens of gifts available, including many wonderful items for your home or garden that I have not shown here. As I said earlier, it’s best to wait until the crowds die down a little bit before venturing onto the sim.

Happy freebie shopping!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Presents From the December FaMESHed Event (Plus a Few Advent Calendar Gifts)

The December round of the FaMESHed Event in Second Life is upon us, and once again, most of the vendor booths have beautiful Christmas gifts for us! There is some really lovely stuff, both for your avatar and for your home. You do have to join the FaMESHed group for free to pick up all the presents.

Here Vanity Fair is wearing two gifts from vendors at FaMESHed: the Christmas Deer sweater from Just Because and the Hanna red heels by Phedora. (The blue leggings were part of the Dec. 4th Advent calendar gift from Appliqué Chic, and are still available today for free, but they will be L$10 after today):

The red Joy throw pillow and the neon Santa hat on the wall behind Vanity are also gifts from FaMESHED, by Fancy Decor and EQUAL respectively.

Now we have the Merry plaid blue zipper skirt (part of the same Dec. 4th Appliqué Chic Advent calendar gift as the leggings in the previous picture), plus a lovely cropped sweater, the FaMESHed gift from Giz Seorn:

Here we pair the red cable knit mohair sweater by COCO Designs with the sexy red thigh-high Cate boots by Garbaggio (my favourite shoe store!):

Next we have the Shayla robe in green from Ricielli, which comes in both closed and open versions (obviously, I’m not going to show you the open one!):

The Scandalize gift is the Nairi dress in black with a separate black lace bralette:

The gift from Neve is this lovely outfit consisting of two separate pieces, the top and the matching skirt:

This is the Jane sweater by RIOT (which comes in green as shown and also in red), paired with the Adriana red glitter shorts by Bombshell. (The RIOT gift box also includes Jasper sweaters for the men.)

Next up is the Scarlett bra and panties, the gift from Belle Epoque, shown with the Punta Cana shoes by Essenz, which comes with a HUD to change the colour of the shoes themselves (3 options: grey, blue, and red), the sole (4 options), and the tie around the ankle (18 options):

Here’s a closeup on the shoes, which like everything Essenz sells, is wonderfully crafted, with much attention paid to details!

Finally we have the Cindy dress in mint green by Kaithleen’s, paired with the Dec. 5th Advent calendar gift from Essenz, the sand-coloured Honolulu shoes:

Here’s a closeup of the Honolulu shoes, which are bit too frou-frou for my taste, but they might be perfect for you!

You do need to join the Essenz group for L$350 to pick up their daily Advent calendar gifts, but all are beautifully crafted footwear, and I think that L$350 for 24 quality pairs of shoes and boots is a bargain.

The hair used in all these pictures is the Dec. 5th Advent calendar gift from Firelight Hair, a curly hairstyle called Melvena (you will have to join the Firelight group for free to use this calendar). The hair comes with a 3-colour HUD to change it to brown, black, or red:
