Hiya again everyone! It is a pleasure to share some Advent Calendar treats with all of you this morning, and the timing is far better than my usual evening posts since by the time those go live on the blog, there is probably less than 2 hours remaining in the SL day to claim them. I try to give as much time as possible, while letting you know which will be available past the current date just in case. Some of these gifts today are for groups that are free to join, while others are accessible to everyone with no group tag necessary. There are certainly ones out there with fees to join the required group or a daily cost for a gift, but I am choosing to focus on the entirely free ones. Honestly you can find incredible offers from all of them, so it boils down to your personal tastes and your linden budget :) This year in particular I feel like we deserve to be treated well, yet I am not against choosing to treat yourself to a splurge or two.
If you are going somewhere fancy and want to celebrate winter in style, be sure to click today's date on the Donni's Dollies board with your free group tag active. You will receive the beautiful DD Marronda Gown - Artic Blue Snowflakes, in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. The fitted bodice leads to a full skirt adorned with flakes, which look charming on the icy blue backdrop. They occasionally have a male gift too, however today was not one of those days unfortunately.
Dark Water Designs and their sister store Dark Knight Decor have teamed up for a 12 days of Christmas calendar, alternating days and having free gifts with no group tag needed. Prior days are available for I believe $25L, so you can take a peek at all the boxes to see which have photos and are for sale. Today we have male and female kimonos as our gifts, and I am enchanted by the beautiful floral pattern on the female version with the matching pink belt and bow on the back. It includes standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizing.
Are you a member of the [Ari-Pari] group yet? It is free to join and there are plenty of benefits like savings on new releases, and of course their Advent calendar :) All of their gifts are still available for free at this time, and this one is for the 15th so we are technically still on yesterday's as of when I visited a couple of hours ago. That wonderful gift is the Silver Snowflake Dress seen above, which comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a 10 color HUD. These short flared skirts always make me think of going dancing, and I wonder what places you will choose to visit while looking lovely in your gift here. To claim these gifts, please have your group tag active, click the picture on the calendar, and choose "deliver" from the menu that pops up.
I seem to have found a considerable number of elegant looks among today's Advent gifts, don't you think? This *FF* Black Sequin Dress is the current Advent gift from Fantasy Fashion, and no group is required to claim it by clicking today's date on the advent board. You will receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. You will also notice a sign next to it, a teleporter to the men's Advent calendar just down the street a bit. Please share that information with your favorite guys, so they can look as classy as we do!
My final look of the day is from a 12 day Advent calendar at JUMO Originals, where each day is represented by a numbered circle (plate?) and a star set for sale for $0L is placed out each day in front of it. As of my visit just a while ago, there were a few stars ready that ended with the 15th so that is what I am enjoying here. It is their CAMILLA Dress C - Dez 15, which combines a flirty style with bold colors and pattern for a great effect. It includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. I am not certain if all prior days are going to remain free for the duration of the event, so my recommendation is to hurry and visit if you are interested. I believe the other gifts are a gown, shoes, and jewelry, so there is a variety of fashion and accessories to enjoy.
I am chuckling because it feels like I was just here doing this exact thing, wrapping up a blog post...because it was just a handful of hours ago ;) December gets a bit hectic for my blogging schedule, but this year I welcome the distraction since it keeps me focused on other than my grandmother's health or not being able to see most of my family this year. I will still take a day or two off at the actual holiday, mostly just to have a vacation for my wrists and fingers. Snow is on its way here this afternoon, so I am grateful to be able to stay warm indoors. I hope you're all having a peaceful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
