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!

Gothmas by Gaslight 2013, V

Gothmas by Gaslight

I hope everyone had a great holiday this past week. I managed to crawl out of a holiday-food coma long enough to put together a few stragglers from Gothmas by Gaslight. The event runs until January 5th, so you still have plenty of time to get out there and score some of these gorgeous goodies if you haven't already.

I don't usually do vanity photos for the blog or post about my personal favorites from the various events, but I am making an exception for this dress from The Little Bat.  I love Druscilla Dethly's clothing in just about every event I blog them for, but this Ginny dress (avail in 6 colors) for Gothmas by Gaslight is just gorgeous.  It's been my go-to holiday dress in SL ever since I unpacked it this year.  If you have the lindens, seriously, treat yourself to this dress (they are only 175L).

Gothmas by Gaslight 2013, IV

Gothmas by Gaslight

If you haven't heard about the Gothmas by Gaslight shopping/gacha festival hosted by the Cursed Event folks yet, here's your chance!  The event happens every December and offers up some incredibly amazing goth/dark/alt type fashions and holiday decor items to help you celebrate the holiday season in your own style.  This year there are about 80 merchants taking part in the event and the Gothmas villages are located on 2 sims (each village has different shops, so be sure to visit both!).

This is our 4th installment for this year's event, and just about empties our goodie bag for the blog.  We will add on additional posts if more stuff turns up that we missed the first time around.  Also, there are a TON of great items and shops who we haven't showcased, so definitely give yourself some time to check out both sims.

A few notes on the event:

  • Event runs from Dec. 15 to Jan. 5th. 
  • Shops are located in the 2 Gothmas villages, one on Cursed (adult rated sim) and one on Sium (mature rated sim).
  • The official merchant list  HERE can help you find where your favorite stores are located.

Gothmas by Gaslight 2013, III

Gothmas by Gaslight

Here we go with the third installment of goodies from this year's Gothmas by Gaslight.  You need this stuff.  The merchants taking part have created some truly gorgeous items to celebrate the season and everyone deserves to pamper themselves a little bit at this time of year.  Many of the items are new or exclusive to the event, so it's also a chance to get some of the newest looks before they hit the stores too!

A few notes on the event:

  • Event runs from Dec. 15 to Jan. 5th. 
  • Shops are located in the 2 Gothmas villages, one on Cursed (adult rated sim) and one on Sium (mature rated sim).
  • The official merchant list  HERE can help you find where your favorite stores are located.
