Advent Gifts and Hunt Prizes

Hiya everyone! It is a brisk morning and I am in the holiday spirit for sure, with all the wonderful stores I have been visiting for Advent calendars and hunts which have been decorated for Christmas or at least wintry beauty. Today I will be sharing some more prizes from The Advent Chase Hunt, as well as a few advent gifts that either need no group or need a group tag that is free to join. If a gift you receive (hunt, advent, group gift, marketplace, etc. etc.) makes you happy, I'd like to suggest that in this season of giving, please consider giving the creator some positive feedback :) Drop a notecard thanking them and telling you why you appreciate it, leave a 5 star review on the marketplace, take a friend to shop there with you. I plan on doing it at least once a day, random acts of kindness that can mean a lot to these talented and hardworking people.

This snowflake-covered beauty is our Advent Chase Hunt prize from Sparrow by Design, who also have an Advent calendar you can click while you're there searching for the candles. This is Women's Midnight Snow Gown, which comes in standard mesh sizes and features a sexy shape and a fun bow on the back with long trailing ribbons. My biggest challenge now is deciding where to wear it first.

If you need something pretty for more private moments, I suggest heading to Zed Designz who have 4 hidden candles, 2 for men and 2 for women. They are on the same sim as Bella Moda whose gifts I blogged yesterday. Their ::ZED:: Bra and Panty Set, Satin Polka Dot Set comes with a great HUD to change textures among 6 pastel choices, bra and panties separately so you can mix and match if you wish. The bra and panties each come in plenty of mesh sizes: standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique. I half expected to see a thong when I turned around, but it has just the right amount of coverage and both pieces look so well crafted.

Over to some Advent calendars, I visited Entice with my free group tag on and grabbed this terrific My Girl Dress in Solid by paying today's bauble a linden and having it immediately refunded. The dress itself comes in an impressive array of sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, 5 busty, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink) plus there is the added bonus of a texture HUD with 3 color choices. Two are shown, the third is solid black that gives a classic look.

Ho-ho-ho! If you have an event to attend this season or just want to make time with a special someone more festive, please visit Moonstar and click today's date on their Advent calendar, no group needed. Their prize today is this Pink Mixie Dress and Hat, and starts with the upper and lower parts as system layers or appliers for Slink, Lola, Omega, and Maitreya. Next we have the accessories, the hat and sleeves and even the skirt have built in resize scripts so you can adjust this however you may need. This made me a bit nostalgic as I had a few similar outfits in SL about 8-9 years ago, of course this is a modernized interpretation with the mesh body compatibility that is so vital in SL these days. Love that built in bow on the back of the skirt, by the way. You can also see that a closer view of my eye is looking back at ya ;) That is today's Inkheart advent calendar gift for group members (free to join, many benefits) called April Eyes - Fantasy. The purplish hue looked quite striking with this outfit.

One last look of the day, how about some gorgeous nails? The KittyCatS! Advent calendar offers gifts from many popular designers across the grid, and today features La Boheme whose shop I had been visiting for the calendar itself (found at many locations). These are their cheery LB Santa Baby nails, in Gold on the left and Silver on the right if you look closely at the buckles, and each offers 10 nude nail base colors draped in a wonderful Santa suit. The gift includes HUDs for Maitreya Manicures, Slink/Omega Manicures, and Slink/Omega Pedicures for each silver and gold. 

In keeping with my attitude of gratitude, I would like to sincerely thank each of you who take the time to read this blog, since without readers I would have no reason to do this thing that I love. I hope you find it helpful, amusing, and think of me as a friend sitting down to chat with you about the great things about SL and tidbits of life in general. Magical magpie hugs to every one of you!!!
