Persephone Emerald Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 People like picture threads, so how about showing pictures of some of the best gifts you've picked up recently? You can show your weird or disappointing gifts too, but *don't name* the store or creator for those. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond Marchant Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) One of the best gifts I have ever gotten in SL was today at the Shoppy Hoppy, Cube Republic booth… a full size Japanese Maple tree. Menu supports color change (yellow, orange, red, and lilac). Edited October 7, 2023 by diamond Marchant 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Do Hunts count also or no? I haven't been on a hunt in awhile so they may have changed since a few years ago.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casidy Silvercloud Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 This pumpkin octopus guy, is from the shop and hop, I'll have to log in to get the name. I'm pretty sure it had a c in it, maybe the name Chris, but I honestly can't remember. It's a cool freebie, the flame in the center is animated (and the textures are actually really good, I just didn't wait for them to load). I have it set to max size. Most of the decor I have out for Halloween was free, at SnH, off MP or from different places. The bigger pumpkin in front of it (it's a posing thing) and the skeleton on the ground were also from SnH. Also the lil inflatable ghosties popping out of pumpkins by my garden (those flowers are just some of my plantpets, not freebies or Hallween decor, lol) in the 2nd pic, one has a mustache. The scarecrow thingy is from mp. Also the jinx ickle franken-goaty which I need to get a pic of. He's free at SnH too. Honestly, most of the stuff I got at SnH is pretty cool. I still have a LOT to open, but I'm impressed so far. Last time I did a SnH, a lot of the gifts were meh (sorry to complain as I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth but I also hate deleting gifts, I feel bad) and some had nothing to do with what people were selling anyway. This time around, I'm impressed. Couple of free vehicles there too, haven't opened them yet. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for current gifts, but if it's an especially weird past gift you could post a picture - no credit to the store or creator of course.

Eddy Vortex Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 This shirt from FashionNatic's booth at Shop & Hop. The Legacy size fits the Blake body and over the Blake pants reasonably well with the help of alphas. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polenth Yue Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) I don't have pictures, but BSHouse at the shop and hop has a Halloween macarons tray for their gift, for those who like food givers.

Arwyn Quandry Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Best gifts are definitely the hunt items from AsteroidBox! They're all halloween textured so you might not get use outside of Halloween/horror sims, but the quality of the items is top notch. Love their stuff. Weird/disappointing is the trend of giving out bonus HUDs as gifts that don't work unless you purchase the product they're selling at the event. On one hand, it's nice to get extra exclusive colors for an item. On the other, you could have just included that in the package for the item when it's purchased at said event rather than pretending it's a gift for everyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond Marchant Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 For those liking piratey or witchy things, I got these leather gloves and overglove rings from Meva. First pick up a L$360 gift card from the desk in the center of the booth, then buy stuff from any of the vendors. The gloves (L$160) and the rings (L$190) are here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gleaming/115/233/53 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably be something that would get a creator immediately put on my 'never buy from' list. If such a gift happened at Shop & Hop, they would likely be in violation of LL's Gift Policy for that event. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went straight in the trash. I don't even remember the store, but I didn't go back to look at their sale items. I also found a store that sells houses with a $L 500 gift card. They do have some items under $L 500 at their main store, but you have to pay out of pocket, then wait for a refund. I'm still waiting for my $L 299 back. I don't think this is within the rules for Shop & Hop either. Who do we complain to about merchants who don't follow the rules? My best treat so far is the $L 360 gift card from Meva. There are a couple items I want that are just over $L 360, but I'm happy to pay the difference. Many of the items come with multi-texture HUDS, but most only fit Maitreya Lara and Legacy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, the cases I've found so far weren't at S&H, so no rules broken there. I recall getting one at the Uber birthday event and one at The Saturday Sale event. Wouldn't call it really a problem, just annoying. More than anything, it lowers my opinion of stores that do it. I don't think that stores need to put a lot of effort into the gifts they put out for events where having one is mandatory. Tbh, they could put out the same gift at every event and it wouldn't bug me. It just feels particularly off to give a 'gift' that can't be used without paying them for another product. That's not a gift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casidy Silvercloud Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Few more gifts from SnH First, a weird one, but it is cute, just, doesn't actually look like a ferret, lol. It's a ferret av, forgot to include it's from Teegle and with its sweater This is from Monomania, it's a really pretty dress, has different colors. And this is the jinx franken-goaty, even though someone already shared it lol Edited October 8, 2023 by Casidy Silvercloud 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the one I think, at a previous one, you could only use the credit as a discount on an expensive house and had to arrange it in advance. I didn't bother clicking on the gift this time, so didn't see the terms for this round. Anyway, the event running is handled by Mischievious Mole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted the creator today and he refunded my money, so no need to contact Mischievious Mole. Always try to work out problems with the merchant, before complaining too much.

Aethelwine Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 My best gift is a bear I have on display at one of my bars. It was given me by a friend that passed away with cancer not so long ago. Each time I see it, it reminds me of them and the joy they shared with everyone they knew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
