Monday Advent and Hunt Goodies

Hiya everyone! This morning we will be exploring some Advent calendar gifts, claimed either with a free group tag or no tag needed at all. There is no cost to you, and plenty of good reasons to make yourself a list of stores to visit each day before Christmas and claim some outstanding gifts. To make things easy, I made a subfolder in my landmarks folder, named it Advent 2017 (next year I'll refer to it again to see if those stores are offering Advent gifts again) and when I saved each landmark I noted in the name "no group" or "group tag" so I'd remember to wear any needed tags before TPing. Another source of generous treats is the Peace On Earth 10 Hunt, which will have you visiting almost 300 stores to find hidden globes that give you a prize for free when you click them. The website is very helpful for those oops moments when the landmark in a particular globe might not be updated yet, or a store has had to drop out so you need to grab the next location from their website. I really enjoy hunting with Xan, my clever partner who thinks outside the box and helps me figure out clues, and keeps me motivated with his thoughtful assistance. 


This lovely wrap dress is our Advent gift for day 11 from Baci, called lu-Dunyaah-colorable. It comes what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes (5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, Slink) and includes a handy HUD with 9 colors you can choose from for the dress. I am loving the teal, but red is such a fantastic seasonal shade! All the colors show off the subtle embossed pattern of the fabric beautifully, and I appreciate that the style is suitable for any season. No group needed for this advent calendar, just visit and click the current date.


Emerald Couture has 3 Advent calendars, one for everyone (no group tag needed) and then for their free group's members there is a female board and a male board. This gift is from the free for all calendar, the boxes on shelves to the left of the group boards, and it is called EC Spring Fling Dress White n Black Floral. The dress has a thin belt attached that really accentuates the monochrome color scheme, and it is included in standard fitmesh sizes plus Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, Slink Physique, and TMP, while the shoes were a perfect fit for my Slink High feet. This is such a charming look, floral but not overly sweet. Now here is where I must make a confession: I did not stumble across the Inkheart advent calendar until this morning, even though I am on their blogging team. I was completely unaware, and I apologize for that. The good news is that if you join their free group, you can claim a gift each day, but if you miss any they are still free. For example, I claimed 11 of them today. They will be available until early January, so I am relieved that you will all still be able to pick up plenty of exciting eyes for free. Today I am wearing gift #11 which are called Feline Eyes - Wolf, and they are included in system layers plus mesh eyes in 4 sizes, as well as appliers for Genesis and Omega. All of their sets are provided in these same generous options, as a matter of fact.


Peace On Earth time :) This striking gown is the ALB Dream Fashions hunt prize called ALB INA dress & gown POE10, and there is a mini dress hiding beneath the fluffy skirts there that can be worn on its own. That dress is provided in standard, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine sizes. Also tucked inside are gown cloud 1 and gown cloud 2 (floaty flexi skirts) and an optional glitter layer that adds lovely golden shimmer to the skirt. This is quite versatile since you can wear all the layers, just some, or go simple with just the dress.


This fun outfit from [ASHBURY] is one of two prizes inside their globe, as there is one for the guys as well as this Female Gift POE10. The Kitty Ruffled Top comes in standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, while the Kester Pants are included in standard, Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique sizes. The dangling suspenders are a neat touch with their splash of plaid. 


For my last look of the day, I am indulging in two different hunt prizes that work very well together. My dress here is from Dulce Secrets, their Niamh Skating Dress Crystal, and it comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. The delicate snowflake pattern made me decide to add the prize from Deadly Nightshade, their DN Winter Effects, which are providing the floating flakes you see around and in front of me. There is a notecard included to tell you how/when to wear their Winter Aura Dynamic, Winter Aura Static, and Winter Effects for typing/walking/flying. I am wearing the static aura here, and still images do not quite capture the beauty of this portable snowshower you can share with your friends.

I know that Mondays are usually the roughest day of the week for many people, so I hope today is a decent one for all of you. Enjoy picking up your Advent gifts, good luck with the hunt, and many magical magpie hugs to each of you!!
