Having An Advent-ure

 Hiya everyone! Today I have several more Advent calendar gifts to show you, all for today's date of the 12th. Most of the gifts are for currently free groups, with one not needing a group tag at all. The majority of December is a busy time with all of these fantastic gifts to claim, teleporting all over the grid and keeping track of group tag changes, but I also run into some nice people while visiting these generous stores. I've chatted with a designer or two as well, being sure to thank them for helping make this such a special time of year. Even if you don't celebrate the Christmas season as a religious holiday, the secular aspect of being kind and sharing gifts with people you care about is something we can all enjoy :) 


Our first stop this morning is Seniha, where today's gift is their Stella Dress // Dark Blue. You will need their group tag (currently free to join) to click each current date and receive lots of treats this month. The dress and string (C-string, strapless panty) each fit Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite, bodies, with a HUD for the string that offers 30 colors. This slightly diagonal hemline is very short and trimmed with sheer lace, so the string beneath is great for a touch of modesty. 


Maybe you're already in the [>Ma'De<] store group, or have an open slot to join...if so, today you can claim their Fiona Dress as a lovely gift. This short sleeved, shoulder baring slip dress is provided in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. We also receive a HUD with 10 colors for plenty of variety, who can resist?


*Pink Mango* has a free group for us to join (I think the fee was waived temporarily, so may return after Advent) and their Caitlynn Beige outfit as today's gift. The cozy knit top and skirt each come in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza Venus, Maitreya, and Slink Physique sizes. The color makes me think of oatmeal, which is certainly warm and comforting like the style of this sweet outfit.


Next we head over to Applique` Chic, where there are men's and women's Advent calendars that are pyramids of giftboxes with dates on them. Prior gifts are $10L apiece and the current one is free, so the 12th contains the free gift of AC: Chilly Padded Coat Mauve seen here. You can layer all sorts of tops or pants beneath, and since all the essentials are covered I went topless but added one of my favorite pairs of jeans - the black shade from the Delizio marketplace freebie. I can't resist wearing them often here, and there are several colors in system/BOM layers included with appliers for Maitreya and Omega.


My final look today is the Grumble-Sweatshirt-Blue Hat Snowman gift, available to all members of the free Grumble VIP group. The snowman on the front is just adorable, holding a candy cane and wearing a fun festive cap! There are Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique body sizes included of this cropped hoodie. This is one of those groups that I was delighted to already be in before Advent season started, less shuffling of those precious slots since I knew I would appreciate their gifts. 

Wow, it's Monday already! Time really is flying lately, especially with the holidays ready to sneak up on us in less than 2 weeks. I have all sorts of appointments before then, including a dentist visit on the 22nd that was probably only still available because it was too close to Christmas eve for most people's tastes. I am planning on blogging tomorrow evening next, so back to my more typical timeline with gifts from events that I'm very excited to share :) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
