Arwyn Quandry Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Even after a good long time in SL, I'm still a sucker for freebies and cheapies where I can get a great bang for my buck. I love those groups with a whole wall of gifts that cost under 100L to join, or groups that cost more but have really nice gifts available. Luas is one of my absolute favorites - 50L for a massive wall of outfits and accessories. I've also gotten a lot of value out of the Truth VIP group over the years, though their gift wall has some pretty outdated pieces. With an eye towards low cost and high amount of immediately available quality gifts, what do you think are the best VIP groups for new players to join? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiloh Lyric Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I'm trying to think of groups I'm in which keep groups gifts out. For makeup, Jack Spoon. For poses, Secret Poses. Addams has some good group gifts out. AviGlam for eyes. Salt & Pepper is a great one. KC Couture for shoes. I think Mutresse has a bunch out and her stuff is really good with a lot of options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorelie Whitfield Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Pink Cream Pie is a good one. I joined during one of the free join times but it's 314 to join normally. Lots of group gifts, monthly 100L credit, lucky chairs and advents. They are currently having a Pride advent where you can snag gifts during the weekend and 50L credits Mon-Fri.

Psyche Starling Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I think Hilly Haalan is still free to join, and they've got a whole building of free clothes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not free, but one hair every few months and a pretty deep back catalogue is well worth the lindens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 If Truth could only make more hair that wasn't 500,000 triangles, I'd wear it more often. Loved the hair on the weekend sale but passed for that reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) I second No.Match for their group gift hair. ($L 50 to join) Nuve for their group gift skins ($L 350 to join, but well worth it because you can get both body & head skins. Not much for guys except eyebrows though.) COCO has some nice free clothes in standard & Maitreya sizes. (Free to join) Blueberry has a good wall of group gifts, but since they're closing, there won't be anymore store credit gifts. Addams has similar group gifts & store credit gifts. ViSion & Tachinni are good for store credit gifts in December. (Under $L 20 each to join.) Salt & Pepper for their Advent gifts & store credit in December. ( $L 300 to join I think.) Carol's Store for store credit & women's clothes in harder to find sizes (Erika, LaraX). ($L 10 to join.) GGVG is good for clothes & store credit too. ( Free to join.) Jian & Rezz Room for some free wearable or decor type pets. Jinx for store credit in December or January. Apple Fall & Zerkalo (both free) for mesh furniture & decor. Apple Fall also has free stuff in the store. Use Area Search to find items for sale for $L 0.

SlammedSam Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Belle Epoque usually has some nice group freebies.Think 50L to join group? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discussionbot Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Trompe Loeil's group (free I think but I could be wrong) for a consistent, generous flow of 50$L builds every weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zandrae Nova Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Petrichor has a large back catalog of free fantasy gifts, I think their usergroup is free to join. It's listed as: [The Plastik.]. / Vae + Victis \ is 50L to join, is also good if you're looking for some fantasy goodies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Couturier Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Oh, where do I begin? First, next door to Luas is Una. They too have a wall of gifts. Both stores have lucky boards that change fairly often. Fallen Gods is a great group for fantasy skins. Right now it's free to join (as it is most of the year). Around October, they have a fortune teller machine for a limited release skin (male and female). They've also begun releasing evox skins. Their group will also let you know about various freebies for different events they're in. Heaux is another great skin store to join and keep. They have a big wall of freebies and a group only skin for sale. More importantly, they have a 25L/week credit board. Slap the board every monday and that 25L will add up. Yomi hair: (100L to join). Group gifts and discounts Yoshi Eyes: 10L to join, lots of group gifts. I'm not sure if that goes up at xmas time when they give out a gift card for store credit. Lotsa pretty eyes for sale too! Lovelysweet: More pretty eyes! and free to join! Avec Toi: 50L to join; great latex gifts Since 1975: Free to join, every month or two, they'll send out a free gift via the group list, so you have to be in the group to get the gift. Last time was a rigged coffee IV with a hand held pole that the coffee bag hangs on Many of the Events will have gifts at xmas and for their anniversary rounds. Luckily those groups are free (so far, lol) Speaking of gifts at xmas, the last 2 (or was it 3?) of the Lelutka gift event/sorta hunt, all the skin and makeup stores that participate are free to join during the event, so it's a good time to join those stores you want permanently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwyn Quandry Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 I was just reminded of Ade. Their group is free and has an excellent selection of hairs, including one for avs under 90 days old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Free to join) Ever so enthusiastically do I recommend this store. Also for those people who might have left SL for a few years but are recently returned, and who are still maybe wearing Slink or Freya bodies with little or no interest to change that situation, and who are looking for some good quality free gifts of clothes and shoes. Coco has them covered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Sigma has some nice group gifts. Some rigged and some unrigged options. The group is 10L to join. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenMell0w Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I'd also consider RealEvil Industries (Jewelry)! They have 2 groups, one being a VIP one. Non-VIP is free, VIP is $500, but... defo worth it in the long run, as it will eventually pay for itself based on the discounts you get as being part of the group.

Miguel Rowley Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Backbone is also a good choice. 2000L for Monthly gifts + 25% discount, You get a lot of value from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
