Advent Goodies

 Hiya everyone! This morning I am delighted to bring you several peeks at some of the many generous Advent gifts we can find all across the grid this month, and I'm doing this post at an unusual time for me because I'm trying to give you all as much time as possible before the calendar day changes. These gifts are mostly available only on a single day, although some leave them up a bit longer while others offer them for sale in the following days. For the most part, if you like what you see then you'll want to ensure you arrive at the store before midnight SL time :) It makes me feel a bit like one of Santa's elves to help share info about these wonderful treats, so now I have to go find an elf name generator...Noelle Giftbell came up and has me giggling!


Our first stop is [Glitzz], where their lovely Alice Gown - Xmas Gift is their Advent treat for the 16th. Their group is temporarily free to join, so the timing is right to pop on that group tag and claim this gift and all their remaining days' gifts. This gown fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. It has a deep V neckline and a large solid red bow on the back of the waist, so between those and the full skirt it will definitely earn a second glance :) The landing zone is actually a foyer between two stores, and the other Domina has a free advent calendar as well with no group tag necessary. Their style takes sexy and turns it up to 11!


Next I stopped at DW Design and grabbed their gorgeous day 16 gift for us called Cecilie Dress Purple. We don't need a group tag to click their board, just tickle today's date on the board that Santa seems to be scaling up and down :) You'll receive Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn body sizes of this stunning shimmery gown. I'm pretty sure the fabric is reacting to ambient light sources in my skybox here, so materials enabled, advanced lighting?


This unique and playfully crafted look is the Rona Outfit by BlackbirdLace gift, which is just for today and just for their free group members. The jacket and jumpsuit set is one piece in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn bodies, while the chunky heeled boots with fur cuffs fit Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn feet to match those body sizes. As I'm sure you can tell, there is also a HUD which offers 20 colors each for the top, pants, jacket, jacket belt, and boots, plus 5 fur colors and 5 metals. It's such an intriguing style, and we can really get wild with the HUD to personalize it.


Emerald Couture has an Advent calendar in their newer location for their free group, plus one across the way for Emerald Man so please make sure your guy friends are visiting there too :) These both need the free group tags, and the third one in this shopping area is their ShoeDdiction for the shoe lovers :) The EC Chun 2 Outfit Lilac can be found in box #16, consisting of the beautiful fluttery dress in standard mesh sizes as well as Erika, Freya, Isis, Venus, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Prima, Reborn, Hourglass, and Physique body sizing. The coordinated sandals fit Belleza, Erika, Freya, Gen X, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Peach, Prima, Reborn, and Slink feet to match up with many of the dress sizes. 


For my final look of the evening, you'll need the free Apple Blossom group tag for the rebranded Blossie store's calendar :) Today's sweet treat is their Donna Dress #10 which is under the Apple Blossom name and fits Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. The soft blue color reminds me of ice, and the plunging neckline is knotted at the waist to help accentuate our curves and cleavage. Did you notice that the halter neck is tied in the back but one of the strands is draped playfully over our left shoulder? For some reason I just adore that detail :) 

It was a busy night before I started gathering these gifts at 3AM my time, more discussions with my mom about Christmas that resulted in no final decisions yet. Sigh. My therapy was intense, as is probably expected, and it included about a half hour driving around the area. Tomorrow I'll be doing another Advent post in the morning because there are literally dozens more stores I visit everyday and many of them are free groups or no group at all needed. That means no post tonight, and I will be trying to take it easy and rest. I hope you're all having a beautiful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
