Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Advent Calendar Gifts for December 8th, 2020

Here’s my blogpost with links to four lists of Advent Calendars and 12 Days of Christmas Calendars, plus my “Top Ten” Calendars you should not miss in 2020!

Today’s gift from Emerald Couture is the following outfit called Fausta, consisting of two separate pieces, the patterned top and the dark grey skirt (a wardrobe staple!). You need to join the Emerald Couture group to pick this up; the group is free to join.

You could choose to pair the skirt above with the Advent calendar gift from ROA Design, a turtleneck sweater which comes with 2 HUDs with a total of eight different colours and patterns (you do not need to join any group to slap this calendar):

Firelight Hair‘s Advent calendar present is the curly Gabrielle hairstyle, which comes with a 6-colour HUD as shown below (the Firelight group is free to join):

The gift from Virtue is this complete outfit, which includes the shoes! The Virtue group is free to join.

The generous gift from 7 Deadly S[k]ins is a set of Diem skins, which come in a package of seven Omega appliers in the following darker skin tones: cashew, chestnut, fudge, maple, pecan, taupe, and walnut. (The group join fee for 7 Deadly S[k]ins is L$1,000. As usual, there is also a men’s skin in today’s gift box.)

Alli & Ali Hair‘s Advent gift is this Terri hairstyle in snow white, seen here on my angel avatar. By the way, I am still looking for someone to whom I may bequeath this avatar via my will; if you are interested, please contact me! Just be aware that I plan to live a long and happy life; I figure I still have a good quarter-century left in me 😉

In the same package, there’s also a men’s hairstyle in snow white that would work quite well with older gentlemen, perhaps even a wizard? 😉 All you have to do is teleport into the store and slap one (or both!) of the blue signs shown here:

(And yes, this avatar is also available via my list of avatars for whom I am still seeking good second homes in the event of my death. More details and pictures of my wizard avatar can be found here. I am currently working with a lawyer to draw up my will, and if you are even remotely interested in inheriting one of these avatars, please contact me. Thanks, and I hope you don’t think this is too morbid; I am just trying to assert some control in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic, to lessen my anxiety! Please understand that doing this helps me find some peace of mind in these trying times.)

Finally, Essenz is offering you these beautiful burgundy Beirut pumps, which come with a HUD to select one of 4 different sole colours and four different metals for the chain. This is sure to add the perfect finishing touch to your seasonal partywear!

The pumps are only L$50 if you are not a member of the Essenz group, or pay the L$350 group join fee to pick up all of the Advent Calendar gifts from Essenz, plus a fatpack of the versatile Wales pumps.

Happy freebie shopping! Remember, these gifs are only available today, December 8th!

Here’s my blogpost with links to four lists of Advent Calendars and 12 Days of Christmas Calendars, plus my “Top Ten” Calendars you should not miss in 2020!

(I’m sorry this is a bit late today; I had a bad bout of insomnia last night, and I slept in until just after noon today as a result, so I am running late!)

I think today’s Advent calendar haul is the best yet!

Today’s gift from the advent calendar at Justice is this rough-stitched, dark brown festive shirt (the Justice group is free to join):

Next up is the Sandra Bakes on Mesh skin in the sandy skin tone, the gift from Wow Skins (the Wow group costs L$199 to join):

And the gift from 7 Deadly S[k}ins is the Hope skin in snow, one of their palest skin tones! I quite like this one, so I will be wearing this skin on the rest of my travels around the grid today. It looks lovely on the recent free Chelsea head from LOGO, and it includes an Omega lipstick applier, if you find the lips too pale! There’s also a male skin in the package. (Please note that during December, the 7 Deadly S[k]ins group costs L$1,000 to join, but you do get gifts every day of December!)

Now, let’s take a look at some more apparel and footwear gifts. Today’s Advent calendar gift from Essenz are these fun and funky, golden yellow Pompei boots (L$50 for non-members, or pay the L$350 group join fee to pick up all of the Advent Calendar gifts from Essenz, plus a fatpack of the versatile Wales pumps):

The Advent calendar gift from Celestina’s Weddings is this truly stunning gold-and-pink Locu ballgown (the Celestina’s group is free to join):

Here’s a closeup of the bodice of the Locu gown…such beautiful detail!

And finally, something for the men…the free gift from the Advent Calendar at the Mishmash Fusion store is this Candy Cane tuxedo, which comes in sizes to fit Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, Slink, and Meshbody Legacy male mesh bodies (you do not need to join any group to pick up this gift). The red dress shoes are included!

Second Life Steals, Deals, and Freebies: Advent Calendar Gifts for December 5th, 2020 (Plus Gifts from Lara Hurley Skin)

Here’s my blogpost with links to four lists of Advent Calendars and 12 Days of Christmas Calendars, plus my “Top Ten” Calendars you should not miss in 2020!

First, before we get started today, I wanted to alert you that the Lara Hurley Skin store is offering a free head skin and shape for that freebie Chelsea head you picked up from LOGO, if you were on the ball! The Lara Hurley group is free to join, and the Maria group gift is free, just join the group and click the panel shown here:

The Bales on Mesh Maria skin comes as a full-head tattoo, with or without the black eyebrows, plus a couple of optional blushes. I think she looks quite striking with the black eyeliner!

Now, you will need to find a BoM skin to match, as there is not one included in the Maria gift package. However, in the next room over, are a number of other free group gifts, and one of them is a perfect body match to the Maria head skin!

O.K., now that we got that out of the way, let’s dive into the Advent calendar goodies available today! The December 5th Advent calendar gift from Virtue are the casual Margarita overalls outfit in yellow and blue (the Virtue group is free to join):

From Entice comes this lovely light blue top and matching skirt (the Entice group is free to join):
