SL Freebie Hunters: Gothmas by Gaslight Hunt

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 2010 - Part 2

The second half of this gorgeous hunt went as well as the first. The gifts continue to delight and cover a wide variety of styles and yet remain predominately goth. This half also features Shadowed's store, Dark Water Designs, and her endless supply of beautiful clothes. There were no problems with moving through the hunt, and it was easy to forget about hunting and shop amongst the fabulous stores. Gather up some friends and have fun with this one!

Gothmas By Gaslight 2010

We have been waiting with great anticipation for the start of this hunt, and it absolutely delivered! The hunt is beautifully organized, with the various trouble spots having been identified and corrected by the hunt coordinator and store owners within the first few days. As of this blog date, there are only a tiny handful of issues left towards the end of the hunt, and those should be fixed by the end of the weekend. We were able to sail through the first 50 stores out of just over 90 in the hunt without a single hitch. The silver bell is fun to find, the store owners have been creative in hiding them, and there are no hints for this hunt, which is a great challenge in itself.

The gifts are simply wonderful. The designers have outdone themselves in providing gorgeous items for the hunters, so be sure to show your appreciation and do a little shopping along the way, or take a minute to say hello if you see a store owner in their shop. This was an absolute pleasure to do, and we are bouncing up and down waiting to get the second half of the hunt unpacked so we can show the rest of the goodies. Cheers, and happy hunting! =)
