So many of those awesome Christmas gifts that have been hanging around the grid will vanish as the New Year descends upon us.   With partying to do in both worlds, I kind of wish I’d gotten a functional Tardis under my Christmas tree.
If you have not visited Swank yet, drop everything and teleport over.  Today is the last day of Swank’s Winter Festival, and there are a ton of great gifts to collect that don’t require a group join.
The Peace On Earth Hunt also ends today.  I know hunting at the last minute can be a pain, but these hints are helpful making the gifts not overly difficult to find.  Click the following link – POE Hints. Preview the gifts here:  POE prizes.

Endless Love

ASU Endless Love
There’s something about pink satin that simply makes a girl weak in the knees!  MH Unique Design’s Vivi Dress is irresistibly shimmery and shiny.  The shading on this gown is so wonderful you’ll find it hard not to remember your first encounter with satin.
ASU Endless Love back
Look at that drape, it’s just so very lovely!  Vivi fits both classic and mesh bodies, so everyone can experience a decadent night out.  It is hard to believe this gown is free.  Thanks MH Unique Design for keeping love alive.
ASU Endless Love Face
This fun heart studded coif is a free gift from Exile.  The hair comes with two HUDs, one to color the heart accents, and the other shades the hair.  All of the hair colors are mottled in the most appealing way.
When we caught up with today’s model Carla, she was still wearing the makeup from her Puppy Love blog entry.  This fabulous makeup set was a Valentine’s Day gift from Izzie’s, and it is still available.
So if you missed it the first time around be sure to rush over to Izzies’s now and get it while you can.   We love that Izzie’s packed the gift with both appliers and  makeup layers so everyone whether they are classic or mesh can enjoy a makeover.
