The Great Holiday - Winter GIFTS thread

[Chic Aeon]

 

Tomorrow is DECEMBER!  I am not going to be doing as much ADVENT as I have in the past but "I" -- along with most folks -- am always on the lookout for great gifts.  So starting this thread and folks can put in screenshots and info of the items they think are outstanding.  

*****  PLEASE INCLUDE A LINK and if it is a store gift or an advent gift and if any group is needed -- Paid or Free. TY. *****

First up is this Christmas Tree in a Bag gift (pack also includes a black version and some tree suckers). Group gift (free group) at Tres Chic.

12. Pine Bag Paper from Havoc

 

Also out is this very pretty holiday tray from Nutmeg (free group). Find it at the group gift area inside a building near the landing point.

The real gift this Christmas is money, I simply provide my wife money and she acquires Christmas themed objects to decorate with.

Enfant Terrible has  Advent beginning tomorrow.  Her prizes are super-professional, high quality.  Several prizes will be 50L gift cards totaling 800L.  There is a 300L group join fee at the moment.

There's a shopping event going on- Enchantment, and this theme is Once Upon a Snowflake-  I *think* every booth has gift, but I have a difficult time getting everything to rez no matter where I go- but if there is a gift at the booth, it should be free, and no group is required.  Here are the 3 free things I picked up that I liked the most- 

Merry Christmas  Wreath Blues (touch resize)

*HEXtraordinary* Sitting Krampus Plushie- Winter (REZ!)

Christmas  Garland Blues - Straight Double bonus piece

For content creators who've missed this, Epic are giving away 18,000+ PBR textures and assets, but claim them before 2025.

Not visible as of yet in the Advent Lists -- MINIMAL is having a calendar this year.  This is NOT a free group but most of the older and great group gifts are still available  on the wall near the center of the store.  This is today's gift. 

I just looked up the group fee (I joined many years ago) and it is a heart-stopping 499 but from what I have seen so far it may be one of the best of the calendars of the year so letting the folks with deep pockets know LOL.

Day one of this, right off the bat, my favourite sweater retextured for the winter holidays   I won't spam-post the rest of the days here but this is just to show the kind of gifting to expect from this advent.  And these are the bodies it's rigged for.

Harshlands has a free hunt going on where you can win a complete fantasy pub.  Harshlands hunts are never easy but I popped over and found a few things.  None of this is "me" but the sim is great to explore and the work is amazing.  As a BONUS there are two bit trees with free group gifts. You can see one of the trees in the background. These are stocked full of décor goodies.   The  hunt prizes examples are on the far left.

Here is the pub backdrop that I found.

And SOME of the items in the gift trees (hit the present box to get them )

Find this free tree in the Lelutka group notices.

Elm makes lovely things. This is for group members only, the group is well worth joining as there are monthly gifts.

[Stephanie Misfit]

One of the more generous advent calendars for clothing items, in my opinion. There is a group join fee.

Note you can't see (or use really :D) the calendar without a PBR viewer.

I recommend the Bricolage advent calendar. It's free, and the gifts will apparently remain available until the 5th of January. Perfect for furniture and decor lovers.

Latest gift (Day 2):

(P.S. ran into the creator earlier today, when she was setting up the 2nd day's gift. She stood there for a bit chatting with the customers. Such a nice/pleasant person.)

Tutti Belli (makeup store) has an advent calendar, group is free. In addition, you can get a free 50l worth of store credit per day. Huge bonus: if you get there before the 5th, you can pick up their Black Friday store credit (through their free group) - 600l. Don't think the store credit applies to everything, but free is free.

Today's advent gift from Minimal.  Paid group. The sign sys you can buy past gifts for 50 lindens. Not sure if that is "everyone" but that would be the best MARKETING PLAN :D.

Just open the group box, then go to the notices tab, and reopen that notice. Grab the gift.

Also I have an Advent Calendar out myself at St. Paul's Church in Grace; each day has a sacred place in the SL Public Land Preserve or elsewhere around SL. The one shown here is the Ross Mosque.

These are free and past days stay free through December 25.

Probably good to know it is 56 land impact and not very big :D. So you may not care.  These trees have almost always (well I don't remember a low land impact one ever) heavy.  I just got one and rezzed to check .
