I am sure you know about the big giveaway that Lelutka has: 12 Days of Christmas. https://www.seraphimsl.com/2023/12/09/lelutkas-12-days-of-christmas-has-arrived-first-class/ But if you follow Seraphim, you see only a male skin and a hairbase as gifts. It is added a female skin too. Just so you know the Seraphim page is not updated. I post here in case you are done picking up gifts, and do not follow the thread about 12 Days of Christmas. I posted there first. I personally prefer the gift skins from last year, still available as group gifts. Walk toward the body skin section:

For all girls who has not been spoiled enough: Not Found has added a female skin! This was not there before, so if you have already been there and only saw a hairbase and a male skin, go back for this: And I personally prefer the gift skins from last year, still available as group gifts: Walk toward body skins and you find them.

It is a useful head. I like all the male free heads so far, but I think the eyes on Kris is very good... they can get just the shape I want. Sometimes when I edit inner and outer eye corner, the eye lids stretch so ugly. Not here. Stray Dog Ford skin, Ford eyebrows, Ford beard layers, No.Match beard No_Mission, (only beard part used) Scar on nose in the Extras pack. Hairbase in the head pack. HOLD - Expression Lines EVOX, IKON Legend eyes-Brown, Dotty's secret chin contour, Izzie's - LeL Evo X - 04 Highlight Corrector 30%. Swallow gauged ears, Gabriel chains. 1L beanie by jed888 (Marketplace)

I laughed, but why not? 😁

It isn't possible to make a Roman nose out of a straight tiny nose. I would like to try a head with that, not exaggerated like a hag, but an elegant shaped Roman nose. A nose for a confident lady.

"Kill the competition" by flooding the market with free heads. 😁 Yes, the Lelutka store is never empty, and even if some are there to accompany a friend or partner, and some grab demos and don't buy, I bet there will be many, many who shop too. Some years ago it was Catwa that was "the" brand for heads. I was grumpy because so few made content for my Simone head. Lelutka had only Simone for the longest time. Now they release new heads several times every year. They are not leaving men out either, it is fine that men have options, lots to select from. I have not bought a new head because I have found nothing I want more than Lake, I am perhaps an exception. People buy a head when a new one is released. For me it has been 4 years until this years Black Friday sale, if I could get Lilith's horns as an add-on to Lake I wouldn't need Lilith.

My 2 last alts teleported in on first try, in the Lelutka2 gift region. No problems to get into Avi-Glam either. So it is no stress. I have not got all the skins for me and my female alts, it is really packed with skins this year. The male skins are not so interesting, but I pick up some of them too.

Yes, Bonniebots are only allowed on the Mainland? So the rest of SL is not covered by them. I know it other statistics, I am too lazy to find them.

Kris head is it for this alt! It is not much variety in the male skin gifts, so here he has a a Stray Dog (Ono, tone 1) skin is a previous weekend sale. Hair No Match No_Stains, Mister Razzor No_Stains hairbase, Hermony beard/stache B. Simple Bloom brows Hunter up. The scar is in the pack of extras and I added a mature layer. The mature layers in Lelutka head packs is so subtle, they are taking the age max up to late 20s' Eyes are from the Avi-Glam gift pack, but he will not keep these. I prefer the eyes he already had from IKON. These eyes are great, it is just a personal preferance. The earrings is in this round of gifts, bravo for something we can wear all year round. RichB. Ferdy Earrings.

It is already 1000 avatars wearing Noel, according to Bonniebots. 2023: Noel and Kris 1068 / 397 2022: Raven and Quinn 1452 / 688 2021: Kaya and Logan 1639 / 940 2020: Lilly and Alain 1359 / 379 The top female head is still Avalon, with 3767 users. The numbers will change. It is not many who got the heads yet. But it is also some that try on the new heads, and then go back to another one. It is quite amazing that Lelutka can give out all these heads. Logan is the most worn male head, and it was a freebie. Some heads who show up of previous gifts, could have been bought later.

This is my sunny alt - she is usually a bit more tanned than me. I finally got the Carol eyes gift from Avi-Glam. After trying on gift skin after gift skin, I remember it is more group gifts in the shops, not only this years round. This is last year gift from Amara Beauty, it is called Raven. So if you missed it last year, go to the mainstore, not the new location. Amara Beauty has free body skins. amara beauty - body skin Legacy/Mait/eBODY/Kupra/Belleza/SLink. You can use "Area search" and type Body. The lips are group gifts DeeTaleZ MU *open glossy Lips - rose* for Lel EVOX/ MEDIUM. There are more group gifts. The eyeshadow are [theSkinnery] LongerNights Eyeshadow (LeLutkaEVOX) 5 And more group gifts... some are Genus though. The hair is Stealthic - Adore. The earrings is a previous Dark Mouse Jewelry gift. Not available anymore.

I think the arms pointing is Preferences-Firestorm-Avatar and then uncheck "Enable selection beam" and "Send selection data to chat"? I may be wrong, since I also forgot how I did it.

Lord, it is past midnight. I better stop teleporting around and picking up stuff. I have not only myself to teleport around, but also alts. Their number is not over ten, but more than five. And it is so much! I make sure to pick up other group gifts, and the girl inventories grow like crazy. I can't pick a favorite of all the female skins. Men does not get so much variety, it is mostly caucasian skins. Some include a fatpack though, and that is very generous. It's good that it is eleven more days. Phew.

This alt used to wear Lilly, now with Noel. I think I like this head a bit better, or is it the combination of parts? The gift skin Tracie from Nonnative in brownie, with one of the lipsticks Top1Salon Leon and Addons HD eyebrows. Hair, eyes, shape is not gifts. IKON Legend eyes in Armor and Stealthic Somber.

A true story: I logged in this gentleman, and on his first try, he teleported staight in. Pure luck. Here is he with the head, all layers is what he had before. ⬇️New version of Kris with beard+mustache from Volkstone, skin from Brabos "Kris" (Medium) and the Vango hair. All are gifts in this round. I am wearing Brabos "Gandy" in the first picture, but the gift skin is younger. The Izzie aging layer makes him a bit older. Simple Bloom eyebrows (Not gifts) I was going to test Avi-Glam eyes, but I think it is no point in going there before the weekend is over. Someone has to fix the gift vendor. The hair is a keeper. It is no hairbase, I am using one of the hairbases that comes with Lelutka heads. I wish the mustache and beard had an salt'n pepper option, but it is this dark grey or snow white. And tinting a white beard only gives a flat color.

Event Closing Date: December 21, 2023

I think I know why Avi-Glam and Amara Beauty is so hopeless full and laggy. The "click here to join group" does not work in both stores. So people are probably holding up, standing there clicking and clicking. I solved it by searching the groups, but it takes longer time.

I'm Basic, came in after maybe 5 minutes fast clicking. No teleport hammer, just my fingers. So it is not going to replace my Lake head, that was my first thought. But after I changed the chin, eyes and mouth just a little, I thought... Hmmm... maybe?

Andore cost 75L to join just minutes before noon, now it is free. I have 41 groups, so I must join and leave. I made sure to buy the 1L ears for group members. And many other stores have group gifts, like The Skinnery and Amara Beauty

What a beautiful list! I have started on it.

I hope Lelutka send out a notecard with a list of all the stores, as soon as everything is ready. Should be 15 minutes or so... And yep, I think I got in easy last year. I hope Maitreya update the rest of the clothes to X soon. I seem to remember some sexy shorts. And Erratic! I got a message that the store was updated. I read it only with one eye before I closed the message, teleported over and hoped the update was for some LaraX, but no.

I'm just curious to see what it is this year. I can start picking up things in the other stores. No need to try before morning European time for me.

Wheeeeeeeee! I took a round to stores I guess will participate. I saw no posters or such. You think they will close when they set up gift vendors?

Isn't LL based on San Francisco time? I think I heard that. So 1 hour 40 minutes to wait?

So is it the 9th now? I am in a totally different timezone. Or is is the 20th December it starts? I am so attached to my Lake head, no other head has replaced it for me, free or full price. I have tried on demos for every single head, and it has not swayed me... I got the Lilith head for 50% off in the Black Friday sale, because horns!! I find the Lilith head without the horns and a human skin nice... I like it more than previous Lelutka heads. But can it replace Lake? Maybe I take it out and wear it once in a while. All my alts wear free Lelutka heads. 🥰
