Advent and Joyeux Noel

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I have an Advent sneak peek for you from Entice, and then several prizes from the Joyeux Noel Hunt 2 to share. The Advent prize is for the 6th so it will be ready soon after I publish this post, available for free to all free group members. Non members can purchase it too, and prior days' gifts can be bought as well. As for the hunt, well that is a fun gridwide hunt with prizes from $0L - $2L apiece, hiding inside small giftwrapped boxes. The hints and landmarks are all on the hunt website, with some preview images in a nice slideshow on the page too. The hunt is brought to us by Stuff Your Inventory Hunts, and I must admit that my inventory is extremely well stuffed ;)


First we see the Entice - I Kissed a Girl - Dotted Black outfit, the free gift for the 6th of December on their Advent calendar. The top and panties are each provided in sizes for Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. I love the way the polka dots and trim of the slit-backed top are mirrored by the solid satin of the panties, which are cut just right to be flirty but not overly revealing. If you are not a group member you can purchase this for $25L, and all prior days' gifts are available for $50L each so if you miss a day it is still possible to obtain these valuable gifts. 


Over on the hunt trail, you can find this wonderful Noelle Outfit for just $2L at [Ari-Pari] in the Joyeux Noel hunt object. Its sweater and skirt each fit Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies, and there is a handy HUD provided with 10 options each. The sweater textures are all solid, and the skirt choices are matching snowflake prints that you can mix and match as I have done above. I think the combination of long sleeved turtleneck with scallop hemmed miniskirt is such a fun look, warm but not stuffy.


Next I changed into the lovely Auradacious Boutique prize called ::AU:: Katya Coat. This full length coat has a hood trimmed in fur to match the cuffs, and is laced up the back like a corset. Such gorgeous colors! The prize includes sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. It is hard to imagine that this is just $2L when it is clearly worth so much more :)


If you want to make the holidays even more elegant, head to ~MystRie~ to find their female prize called Festive Starlight Gown. I did specify female because there is also a male gift, so two prizes for $1L each. This striking gown comes in a fitmesh M size for classic avatars, plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The velvety red and green are accentuated by beautiful golden stars that also remind me of fireworks. 


My final look of the evening is a delightful set of handheld ornaments from Magnetic which can be yours for just $2L when you find that giftbox. Their hunt exclusive Xmas Bauble set has left and right hand versions each of 8 different colors (black, blue, gold, green, pink, purple, red, and white) with various Christmas designs on each. The bento hold poses are very well crafted, and the baubles themselves have charming red bows on each one that add to the festive nature. 

It was a busy but enjoyable weekend here, and I think I am getting more into the holiday spirit this year than I did last year. I know it's still been a rough year, but things will look up eventually :) I apologize if that made you roll your eyes, LOL, and admit that persistent optimism is not always received well, but I have only the best of intentions. I am still trying to work out my schedule to find a morning to post some Advent gifts early enough that you'll still have time to pick them up, perhaps during this coming week. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
