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 3rd Crazy Hair Hunt

Crazy Hair Hunt 3
It's been a while since the last crazy hair hunt, so when I heard it was starting up, I knew that it would be one that we had to do. One of my early fascinations with Second Life was hair, and I have probably switched out the one I am wearing 20 times for every day I have spent in SL. Nothing like some crazy hair to get my ooh shiny meter pegged at 10 and this hunt did not disappoint in that area. We hit it early, and there were some rough patches. Several locations did not have prizes out, and the lines were crossed with some of Shadow's pet peeves, misnamed folders and gifts in objects, but the fun we had once we started taking the pictures more than made up for it. Let it be known that for the most part, these are not your every day wear it around the grid type offerings, unless your every day life is fae or mermaid oriented. This type of hunt really brings out the creativity in the builders, and some of them made me howl in laughter. I especially liked the ones that had tiny little animals hanging around where my fabulous normally ebon flowing locks reside. As we were taking the pictures, we decided that we would each pick out our favorites out of the ones we drew for pictures, as you can see below. This was a fun hunt for us, and we hope that the problems we had were fixed in short order and that our readers enjoy it as much as we did.

Cheers, and Happy Hunting!

We don't usually pick favorite gifts from any hunt, but we had such a good time trying these on, we couldn't resist a vanity picture wearing our favorites from the hunt.

  1. I love your blog, it's very useful!
    To the fellow hunters: you won't find a DSyDS shop with SL search. #35 DSyDS is actually SyDS. It is not this blog fault: it's the shop itself that named the hunt item with that extra "D".

    1. Thanks for the correction, Alpheratz - this is part of why i HATE hunts where object names are not consistent. Aside from making it a mess to track folders, names can get mangled in the process. Will correct it on the blog post. =)

    1. Hiya Phoenix! Your comment made me laugh - that fairy outfit is unbelievably OLD, from a hunt held ages ago. Its called the "Leaf Fairy, Gold" and it was a gift in the Kite Hunt from a store called Pas de Deux. I have no idea if the store is still in existence, but the creator's name is Misteria Loon, and her profile appears to still be active (and list several store locations!). Good Luck!
