Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Gifts from the 13th Anniversary of the Fifty Linden Fridays Shopping Event

Have you joined the RyanSchultz.com Discord server yet? More details here. 

As you know, I am cutting back on my Second Life coverage, but I still wanted to bring to your attention that the the Fifty Linden Fridays (FLF) group is celebrating its 13th anniversary with a special sim groaning with free gifts! All you have to do is join the Fifty Linden Fridays group for free to pick them up.

In fact, there are so many gifts of avatar clothing, accessories, and home decor that I limited myself to showing you just two stores’ gifts, which make up a complete fantasy outfit!

A view from the back to show the detail on the wings!

From paper+antler come two gifts: these beautiful, resizable and adjustable pink-and-blue-wings and matching Minerva dress (the separate panties are included), which come in sizes to fit Maitreya Lara, Meshbody Legacy and Legacy Perky, eBody Reborn, and INITHIUM Kupra mesh bodies. I have paired these with the two gifts from Luas, the Triss horned headdress and a matching lantern with a high-priority Bento hold pose that works with your default animation overrider. (The shoes shown are the Amy ballerina flat fatpack from KC Couture, available at their in-world store or via the SL Marketplace for only L$175—a real bargain! You can tint the main part of the shoe, the sole, and even the interior separately, choosing from any of 40 different colours and textures. I turn to it often when I need flats to go with an outfit.)

There are so many more gifts available! I have posted a notecard with my picks for the best gifts, with exact SLURLs to each gift, in my RyanSchultz.com Steals, Deals & Freebies group in Second Life (L$50 to join; more information here). Because the FLF event has a single spawn point in the middle of the two concentric circles of vendor tents, you will have to save the SLURLs to your inventory, then right click on them, and select “Show on Map”, then follow the red arrow to your prize! UPDATE Aug. 14th, 2022: It turns out you don’t have to save the SLURL to your inventory after all! Just click on the SLURL in my notecard, and on the window that pops up, click on the Map button, then follow the red arrow to collect your prize!

The Fifty Linden Fridays shopping event runs until September 2nd, 2022. It’s jam-packed now, but if you wait a week or so, you won’t have to fight the crowds. Here’s your taxi to the event. Enjoy!

As always, I will be posting many locations, tips and tricks to pick up even more fabulous freebies in my group instead of writing about them to my blog, so please subscribe and check the group often!

UPDATED! Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Gifts from the Fifty Linden Fridays Birthday Bash

The Fifty Linden Fridays shopping event, one of the longest-running in Second Life, is celebrating its 12th birthday with a special birthday bash on a dedicated sim, where almost every vendor booth has a free birthday gift for you! Simply join the Fifty Linden Fridays group for free to vacuum up all the freebies!

Here are a sampling of some of the gifts which caught my eye. First up is a hairstyle from Exile Called Erin, which comes in a fatpack of no less than 200 different textures! The lovely Blossom tank top from Flora comes in six different colours.

This Dylan hairstyle is one of three different women’s hair fatpacks available from the Elikatira booth at the FLF Birthday Bash! Moesha is also wearing the gift from Cynful, this purple tube top:

Here’s another one of the Elikatira group gifts, the Penny hairstyle, shown with the present from the Blueberry booth, a fatpack of crop tops with an optional bra underneath:

Now Moesha models the gift from Pixicat, this animal-print River minidress, plus the Happy Glasses from Balaclava!, which come in three different colours.

You can pick up a complete fatpack of these Shelbie platform pumps from Phedora:

The gift from Valentina E. is this green plaid dress called Gigi:

The present from the Luas booth is this tie-dyed yellow bikini:

Finally, the gift from Salem is this beautiful Artemis circlet, which comes with a HUD with 28 different gemstones and eight different metal textures:

If you’re interested in the history of this popular shopping event, Wagner James Au interviews the founder of Fifty Linden Fridays on his blog here.

Here’s your taxi to the Fifty Linden Fridays Birthday Bash sim! As you can imagine, the sim is jam-packed, so you might want to wait a week or two before you try to get in (the event runs until September 3rd, 2021, so you’ve got lots of time to pick up all the birthday presents). Happy freebie shopping!

UPDATE August 21st, 2021: Here’s a handy video showing you all the gifts you can pick up at the FLF Birthday Bash!
