Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to Freebie Hunters! One of our favorite pastimes in Second Life is scouting the grid for fantastic hunts, sales, events and gifts from all the wonderful creators. We thought we'd share the wealth and showcase some of our finds in this blog, with an emphasis on the goodies available in various SL events and hunts. We do our best to show ALL items from a hunt/event and in the manner the creator intended, but this is not always possible.

***UPDATE August, 2018- We are still finding freebie/nearly free items to share with you, but due to RL time constraints, a lot of what we find is being posted solely on Flickr. If you would like to follow the events being posted there, here is a link to the album page for our account: Flickr Albums. These are not blog posts, but simply pictures of the gifts available. Thank you!

Thank You to all of the creators!

The Depraved Spring Madness Hunt

The Depraved Spring Madness Hunt
Real life stuff has been kicking my butt the last 5 days or so, and I am way behind on finishing and posting hunts for April. The Depraved Spring Madness Hunt is going on right now and was a fun little hunt that didn't take much time to finish. There are 38 stores and you are looking for a bright yellow and pink flower. The hunt starts at Razorblade Jacket, and I only had 2 instances where I had to refer to the blog to stay on the hunt path. It's well laid out, and the stores were a lot of fun to wander through.

Just as an FYI, this is probably the last/second to last post I will be putting up for the month of April - my computer has picked up a nasty little virus that I can't quite seem to eradicate entirely, so it's headed to the shop for a professional cleaning. I do, however, have a handful of items from other hunts this month that I picked up along the way, and I am going to try to get them posted before I take this machine offline for a few days. If I don't manage to get the odds and ends posted, the blog will be back posting soon as I get my machine back from the shop, in time for the May hunts.

Cheers, and Happy Hunting!

The Wicked Hunt

The Wicked Hunt
Time is slipping away from me this month, and I haven't been able to devote as much to hunting as I had hoped, but there is still time for you to get in on The Wicked Hunt if you haven't already. Some really great gifts are being given, and I was thrilled to see a bunch of new stores in the hunt line-up. There were no major issues with the hunt - the official blog has SLurls and hints for the shops, and I didn't have any problems anywhere along the path, with the exception of a store or two who didn't have the LM to the next shop in their gift (or SL ate them, its been a crazed week for my computer!).

I am a tattoo afficionado (even though I don't wear any of mine for the blog pictures), and there are some really lovely pieces on this hunt. Almost everything pictured is unisex, so guys, don't be afraid to do this one too! The hunt has 43 stores, so it is a perfect size for a couple leisurely evenings or an all-day weekend hunt. Definitely not one you want to miss if you love tats and pierces!

Cheers, and Happy Hunting!

SL Discovery: "I Do" Hunt

SLD I Do Hunt
I have to admit, I am a sucker when it comes to weddings and wedding related things - as long as its not MY wedding! =) I love seeing all the lacy, over the top dresses, the exquisitely detailed cakes and invitations, the endless choices of flowers, colors, and so forth. So, it goes without saying that I was excited to see another wedding-themed hunt coming up this month. TJay, on the other hand, was not so thrilled. There is only so much of listening to me exclaim over gowns that he can take before he needs a serious infusion of male-stuff, so he elected to sit this hunt out.

I ran through this hunt on the first day or so that it began, and so there are a few shops which were not ready on time, as happens with every hunt in the beginning. The official blog was great, providing hints and SLurls to get past that handful of places until everyone gets up to speed. The item you are looking for is a linked pair of golden rings, and some of the vendors were pretty creative in where they hid them. Out in plain sight apparently still works because we are all used to items being crammed into the tiniest spaces available! I had a lot of fun on this, and the coordinators did a fantastic job in getting together a great bunch of stores and keeping things smooth for the hunters. The gifts were gorgeous, there was great stuff for the men (the blog usually doesn't single out specific gifts from specific stores, but the tux from Avatar Bizarre was absolutely perfect!), and the stores a lot of fun to poke around in. Relax, enjoy the stores, and have a great time on this hunt!

Cheers, and Happy Hunting!

The Kinky Easter Egg Hunt: 41-end

The Kinky Easter Egg Hunt
This finishes up The Kinky Easter Egg Hunt for this year. I swept through the second half of the stores just as easily as the first half, thanks to the official blog and the way the coordinators kept it up to date with new LMs as stores moved and the latest information on stores to bypass. I hunted this half without TJay (who was having build issues, but that's another story...~LOL~), and while hunting as a team is easier because of the extra eyes and ways of interpreting the clues, this was not a bad hunt at all. The end date is close, but you should be able to get through it just fine before then.

The gifts were great and some of them really made me laugh when I was unpacking and trying them out, especially some of the RLV items. This was just a really fun hunt to do - the Easter theme is obvious but not over the top in many of the gifts and I came away with a list of new places to explore more fully when I get some down time. I enjoyed this hunt a lot, and you will too.

Cheers, and Happy Hunting!
