SL Freebie Hunters: Sept'17

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!

Limit8 Birthday Round

This month has been such a mess, I am still trying to get myself caught up...but here is a quick and dirty look at the Limit8 Birthday Round. This event kicks off on the 18th of every month, and brings together some really amazing designers. The event features regular items, gachas, and each designer provides a limited edition item available just for the event. This particular round celebrates their birthday, so there are also some lovely gifts set out by the designers for everyone to enjoy.

I would suggest getting there asap if you are interested because I wasn't able to find an end date - so if the event ends at the end of the month, you only have a couple days left. I was there yesterday, and some of the limited edition items were already sold out.

Dates: Opens Sept. 18th

Start/Location: Limit8

Happy shopping!

The Purpose Hunt

Got another quickie to share as I work through stuff that got set aside when things got so out of whack due to Irma - The Purpose Hunt, hosted by Gardenia Events. This is a paid hunt (5L/gift) but the hunt has a special purpose and a portion of the proceeds are earmarked to help a lovely SL lady named Marie get a service dog to help her with her daily living. You can find more information about Marie and her pup here: Marie's Dog. Each gift in the hunt is 5L, with 4L out of that going to help defray the costs of bringing Marie's service dog home.

There are 39 stores participating in the event, and the official blog has a complete list of stores, slurls and hints. I was fortunate enough to pick up a few of the items (shown below) and intend to do the whole hunt, but I didn't want to delay getting the information out there any longer because this hunt is for such a good cause. This hunt runs until October 3rd, so you have about 2 weeks to complete it.
